Flat tire light???

I have a 06 tl with front snow tires so i get the tpms warning light on everytime i drive it and I am used to that but the last couple of days i get a yellow light on the dash that liike like a flat tire and doesnt say or do anything. The tpms system isnt working right now so i dont know if its a tire light or if it is telling me something else. My wife "moved" my manual so i cant look it up. If any body knows what it stands for please let me know.

Extremely low air pressure in one or more tires.

If your TPMS system is not working than the tire icon will illuminate.

That tire icon "looks" like a flat tire but it is actually a universal icon for the TPMS system.

Anytime there is a malfunction whether it be a low tire or TPMS system not working altogether that light will illuminate.

In your case it is lit because your TPMS isn't working, not because of "extremely low tires" like Hi Speed mentioned.

I'm guessing your winter setup doesn't have TPMS sensors in the wheels?
