check your tire PSI. my light went on the other day. as soon as i saw the light, i checked all the tire's psi. they were all at 30 psi. just make it 35+ and it'll turn right off

not sure what it stands for exactly

but anyway..look around the tire (rubber) for "max load psi"
if you have OEM rims (stock) it should max out at 51 psi

when you pump your tires, pump it for a split second to see where the psi meter landed. the continue on until you hit 35-40 psi

It is probably from the cold weather. Mine keeps going off, but I have left the tires alone. I think it is better to run them softer in the cold weather, for a somewhat better traction.

it depends on your tire, what rubber are you using?

Also, if you have aftermarket rims on the car, that will make it go off too. There's a tire pressure monitor on the stock wheel, so if that's removed, on a longer drive, it will trigger the sensor to go off. Happens to me all the time. Turn off the car and start it up again, the light will be off.

When you go with aftermarket rims without installing your TPMS the light will go off after about 40 miles of driving. My car does it and I check with the Infiniti shop to confirm. You'll notice that without the sensors the system doesnt' beep it just lights up.

yea, i get tons of call about tire pressure sensor going off during the cold weather which is normal. after 20-30 min of driving, the light should go away unless you have a slow leak.
