Default Have you seen this light?

2011 Dakota with 6 cyliner 4x4, four door.
This light came on today located to the bottom right of my speedometer. It is a red exclamation point (!) surrounded by two RED circles. Not near a scanner so would appreciate any information. TIA, Jeff
P.S. Looked in my owners manual and this light is not shown on the diagram for the dash lights.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System light, either:

1. One (or more) of your tires is low on air
...or
2. One (or more) of your tire sensors has a dead battery, and needs to be replaced... The sensor, not the battery.

I'm confused, the tire monitoring sensor is a yellow light on the left hand side of my speedo. Already had that one come up and filled the right back tire about two weeks ago. Are you saying this is for the system itself?

This light is down by the "brake" light (20) but is not shown. The tire monitoring light is #22. I'm wondering if this is an indication that the brake system needs attention. I do have anti-lock brakes.

That is the park brake light for 2011. They changed a few things for the gauge cluster for that year only. Try pulling up on the park brake pedal while pulling up on the park brake release. The abs has its own light and that will come on if there is any issues with the abs pump or the speed sensors. If the light isn't flashing then it's probably just the pedal engaging by a tick.

Light came back on and the parking brake "reset" didn't work this time. I'll go to autozone and see what their ODB says.

You can check the brake fluid, maybe it's a little low.
