As Cookie Thumper said it takes a bit of driving to reset, but i assume you didnt post this from the servo.

Try putting 50psi in and then let it back down to 33psi.

That means you have a hole in the tyre.

Wheel is loosing too much air and that's the alert for that,  get your tyre checked, you can get it plugged.

I don't think that is the case. In the above pic, it is showing a problem even though the pressure is showing as correct.  The alert should only be there if the pressure is actually down.

So a little bit of driving fixed it that time which was great.

But then it happened again just last week. After getting it to 33psi and driving about 50km over two trips - it was still there. A couple of more trips and it eventually went away.
Might be a combination of a few drives/distance for it to go away?

Possibly. But if it persists I'd get it looked at.
If it's playing up now, you don't want it playing up when you have a leak in your tyre.

Thanks for reporting back on this.
