Anyone else getting the low tire pressure alert when it's not low? When starting the car after parking outside in freezing temps all day I had my rear right tire show 2 lbs lower than the remainder of the tires and the alert came on. Kept an eye on it and within a few miles the tires warmed up a few lbs and the tire caught up to the rest but the alert stayed on. When I made a stop and came back out and started the car again the tires were all reading the same pressure but the idiot light was still on and that tire's pressure was still flashing.

Maybe there's something I need to do to reset this?

The alert will not go off until you put more air into the tire. Also, remember that you should not use the numbers on the system in place of an acurate tire guage.

This is the right answer.
I once parked the car outside and it was cold, next day I had the tire pressure warning saying the left rear tire is low, even after driving and warming up the pressure increased but the warning was still indicating low left rear tire.
The only way to get ride of the light and the warining was as Jeepgrady said, I added some air and the light went away.
