    Does it do anything when you....... push it? lol In all honesty, probably a previous owner that had either a kill switch or an aftermarket alarm installed and that was the valet button or something.

    Kinda interesting HIXC has one there too. I figured he or previous owner added it as it looks like a transplanted trunk button.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    i had (what i thought was) a problem with the TPMS on my 04 when i bought it and did a lot of googling and you are correct. that yellow button is to reset the TPMS. it was only after spending A LOT of time online that i figured out that in the newer cars witha DIC that mine did not have the yellow reset button (in fact that is how is found this site).

    so you are correct it is a TPMS reset.

    Its for the tire pressure monitor, let some air out of one of your tires the low pressure light will kick on that button is to shut off the light.

    if you get down there and look up at the button it should say calibrate tire pressure on the trim ring around the button

    If you push it your car turns into a Pontiac
    OOps you must have already pushed it

    when you have a low tire the light comes on then you fill up your tire to the right level and the light is still on, you have to press and hold the botton to trun the light off but make sure all your tires are at the right level first
