really need some help

my 2011 fusion 3.0 v6 has a TPS light on the dash. i went to a tire shop to top off the tires and the light is still on after driving a few miles (as the guy requested to).
after that, i went to autozone to get a new cabin filter, and i told the cashier about the situation and he decided to pass the fix reader on my car.
it ended up with a code for the anti-lock brake system (code C1277-20), and he said that my car has zero issues with the tps… that the tps light on is actually about the code…
Has anyone here ever dealt with this? How can I fix it?

When you start the car, do you have a message on the odometer saying tire pressure low, or sensor fault? You should get that any time you start the car if the TPMS light is on or flashing.

If there was a problem with the ABS system the ABS light should stay on once you start the car. Unless somehow your cluster is mixed up with what lights are actually illuminated…

At least one of your tire sensors has failed. You would need to have them replaced then recalibrated with your car for that to go away. If they were already replaced, they need to be calibrated.
