ok, you have the "off" position then "acc" position and then "on" position. make sure that you switch to "on" position and not the "acc" position.
 
you have to press and hold down the button until you see the light flash (3x) inside your instrument cluster and then let go of the button.
 
it takes a while for the light to flash so be patient. if it doesnt flash by one minute, then you have a problem - it's probably defective!

Hi there,
 
 Hmmm...yea...I put the key in the "on" position when I perform this task... The "on" position is when the oil and battery light stays on as well as the radio...
 
 And yea... I also press and hold the set button for upwards of 30 seconds before I release it...but I don't see any flashing...
 
 I guess I will try pressing it for a full minute...and see what happens
 
 But mind you...the tire pressure light comes on for 3 seconds, just like the ABS indicator light when I turn the key to the "on" position

sounds like you are doing everything right. just make sure you press the button all the way down.
 
if it still doesn't work, then you may need to visit the dealer.
 
goodluck

My 98 LE has been doing the same thing. Light always comes ON after 20 miles of driving. Won't reset. It started when I had my 2 front tires replaced. I figured out that it is "sensing" falsely because I have two sets of Michelins with different tread designs. Just a thought...

just make sure you press and hold it down until it flashes 3 times and that will solve your problem

Tried that a thousand times...instruction on the manual was pretty straight forward.

check your tire pressures, if all are correct - either your sensor is busted or it's coz you replaced 2 different tires on the front and the front/rear tires are rotating at different speeds and it triggers the light.

I agree with you...one of those or the combination of both.
