These things are so annoying - the system also checks the spare tire, so make sure its inflated properly.
Beyond that, the car's system is registering low and your hand gauge may not be accurate, so while you think your pressures are okay, the car disagrees.
Add 1 lb pressure at a time to each wheel to see if that solves the problem, but do not go over the max psi printed on the tire. If slightly overfilling doesn't get the light to go off, you'll have to take it in to the dealership to get looked at.
Its okay to have your tires overinflated by 2-3 psi.

Start by letting air out of all 4 tires until they look low, then put air in the the recommended level. Drive a bit. Did the light go out? If it didn't, you have a bad sensor in the system, get it in and have it replaced.

just look in the owner's manual. mine has a "reset" sequence.
