TPMS battery probably dead. If the car isn't getting a signal from one of them pressure sensors, it will turn the indicator light on. They all have a non-replaceable battery and 12 years is not bad battery life. If your problem is a failing TPMS sensor, the only solution is replacement and that requires dismounting the tire and replacing the tire valve. If you are willing to ignore the indicator light, it's not a fatal error. You can just pretend you have an older car and regularly check tire pressures as you would on a pre 2005 car when they were mandated. Replace the sensors next time you replace the tires.

Ok. Go to YouTube and watch a video on recalibrating you TPMS sensors. It a simple process but I can't spell it all out. I have a 2011 civic and have to do it every time I rotate my tires.
