LOL, that's not the TPMS light! That comes on whenever there is any warning. For example, when the gas is low (<30 miles to empty). It should tell you whatever the problem is in your dashboard screen when you start the car. Did you get gas when you were at the gas station by any chance?
The lesson here is look in your manual before you blindly trust an answer from an internet forum. If you did, you would have found the problem is one of:
Low gas
No Key
Trunk or door ajar
low washer fluid
parking brake release warning
But again, it should have also displayed whichever of these problems it was in your dashboard screen. It seems strange that it didn't unless you somehow missed it.
