Default 2015 Honda Civic EX-L TPMS light intermitant

The TPMS light keeps coming on randomly.
I have nitrogen in the tires and inflated to 32 psi.
I carry a pressure gauge and measure the pressure at 32 psi before I go on a trip. The TPMS light will turn on and I pull over to the next gas station and measure the tire pressure. It is exactly 32 psi as it was when I left.
The light is incorrectly coming on for now apparent reason. It happen all the time. I took it to the dealer and they cannot fix it. They wanted me to change the tires (rubber) but I have 5 / 32nds still left on the Michelin Tires and when new, there is only 8.5 32nds.
Why can't Honda fix this problem. I am going to sue for the cost of my car and my time if they do not attempt to fix this.

The yellow low pressure light or tpms failure indicated? Try another dealer or try the following yourself first. Set pressures to spec, then on your steering wheel hit the menu button and watch your main display. I think it goes Cutomize - Tpms - calibrate - initialize, then drive around the block. You must set your tire pressure first and not after, every time you alter the pressure you should recalibrate or you will likely see this message again.

That is the basics... I have an intermittent problem with the system falsely activating with the problem when there is no problem.
