Defective Wheel Light

I recently got a TPMS style light on my dash and my display reads defective wheel on vehicle. Anybody ever seen or dealt with this before?

i had this before but forgot how i fixed it. Check your tire pressure manually and reset TPMS system and see if it helps.

Thanks!

I checked the air pressure in all 4 tires and reset the TPMS and it went away! Thanks so much for the advise!

Yes the front driver wheel was 5lbs low. Gonna take it to my tire guy to see why. I don't drive the car much so it spends a lot of time sitting and looking pretty
