Tire Pressure Monitor System went stupid this morning

Ok...I drove the Croc to work yesterday, and it performed perfectly as it has for the 2700 miles I've driven it since I took delivery...this morning I open the garage door, get in and as soon as the key is in the ignition, I get the tire-pressure-low-by-four-psi-in-the-right-rear-tire message...hmmm, maybe this thing is a real life-saver, I thought...I get out and look at the right rear...hmmm, it 'looks' OK; I'll check it...I get out my tire guage, and it's OK, but just in case I'll check the other side...hmmm, it's the exact same pressure...so I get back in, start the car, and run the re-learn thing...I drive off, and a few miles down the road, it clears itself...everything's fine until I pull into my parking space, turn the radio off, then I turn the ignition off, and before I pull the key out, the system lights up again, only this time it's telling me that my right front is four psi low...I'll check it once the sun comes up, and I can see better, but I'm pretty sure that it will be OK...

No issues with the car so far, though when I bought it , I had a bad feeling about that tire pressure monitor...I mean, I've been driving since 1967, and have managed to keep my tires properly inflated so far without the intervention of a computer...I wish that I could pull that thing out by the roots, but I know that's impossible...
