 Low tire air pressure technology is unreliable

Our 2005 Toyota Highlander has a problem with the low tire pressure light coming on all the time even when there is no air pressure problem. I know it uses a simple technology that infers problems based on wheel rotation as measured by the anti-lock sensors but it sure doesn't seem reliable. Maybe driving on a gravel road confuses it. I'm about ready to tape a piece of electrical tape over the stupid warning light. Anyone else have problems with these things and come up with a solution?

I have to reset it (the hidden button under the dash) after every tire rotation, flat repair and every 3-4 days even if the tire pressures haven't changed. It's a major irritant.

The manual doesn't say anything about sitting overnight but I'll give it a try. Nothing to lose by trying. Thanks Dennis.

EW, I didn't see your earlier response to this. It uses the anti-lock rotation sensors for low pressure detection. Is that what you meant by the tone wheel system?

I'm not sure what method the Highlander uses for rotation sensing. I swore off working on Toyota's since our Corolla so never bought the service manual for it.
