The government made sure you couldnt turn the warning off ,just like most vehicle warnings,these TPM's have batteries and do go bad sometimes,they shouldnt be to expensive to replace them as prices have come down over the years and you can by them on ebay for a pretty goid price for a set. Have the shop check to see if it can be reprogramed first.

Put a little more air into the tires and don't forget the spare.
Drive for fifteen minutes and hope the light goes out.
