If air pressure in each tire is good, I would guess a bad TPMS sensor.

x2, dealer should be able to diagnose this with ease....it's a question of do they have the proper equipment and trained suzuki techs to do so. Try a different dealer if the one you're taking it to now can't solve it. And, don't hesitate to contact American Suzuki directly and get them involved (number can be found on the website.

Well the tool is reading all the sensors are good. He resets it and 10 mile later light flashes and comes back on. They are guessing on this. So they ordered a tramsmitter to replace that. Only time will tell. Supposed to be in tomorrow.

This may be too late as it is now march but my kizashi did the same thing. Checked my tire pressure and it was way more that the suggested tire pressure. released pressure in all 4 tires to what it says it should be and hasn't happend since.

I got a Kizzy a few weeks ago, and for the entire first day my TPMS alert went off, but I wasn't able to go to the dealer so I just ignored it. I know have 2600 miles on it and the thing hasn't gone off yet, maybe it calibrates itself or something?

MY TPMS light has come on at least 4 times. I told the dealership about it and was told it's probably defective. I'm sick of calling and bringing my car in and nothing soved. Maybe it's because I'm a woman.

Did you do the obvious, like check the tire pressure?

Just because the car is new doesn't mean the tires were inflated properly.
