as above - a £40 OBDII reader will reset...dont forget to write down the error codes first for future reference. If the same code is thrown repeatedly then you can identify the issue

I had an O2 sensor fail and this helped track down which one, and £70 for a new one off ebay, all sorted without charge from a dealer

the tyre thing goes away if you check the tyre pressures are within tolerance.....

Occasionally this pops up on mine and then goes by itself in a few mins. Maybe the communication is a bit flakey on some.

Depending on the age of the car, the batteries in the senders might also be on their way out. They only have a limited lifespan and I suspect that a lot of the earlier Gaydon cars are reaching that limit.

if the tyres are cold and out of range it goes off, then a few mins driving later they warm up and pressure goes up

Pressing the 'read' button on the stereo means you can see the speedo again but the mil light remains. As mentioned OBD reader can clear codes £10 off eBay
