hey i just bought an '04 G35 6mt 5 days ago. i was driving to work today and all of a sudden i just hear this loud beeeeeep coming out of the speakers... then i see the (!) symbol turn on... I have no idea what it could be. check engine i'm assuming... the car only has 36k miles on it... anyone have this happen to them or may know what it could be? any help is appreciated. thanx

 

it's your tire pressure

 

oh whew sweeet, thanx!! get it filled asap then... hoping it wasnt anything too big. that just lifted a lot off my shoulders. thank you again!

 

Yeah that scared me too the first time. I was ready to hit the eject button I just had installed . Don't forget to check your spare...

 

yep, tire pressure.... if you look closely at the light, it looks like (,,,) as in a cross section of tire

 

check it out for nails. i have been having mine come on every few days. i just squeezed a bottle of the green filler stuff in... hopefully that should solve my problem or a new tire is going to be needed

 

Yeah it scared me the first time too.

While on this topic is there a way to tell which tire is low? My brother's Z tells him, but I cant figure out how to tell on my G.

 

Do all G's have the tire pressure warning? I did not know about it, but a few days ago I read the Owner's manual (I was bored out of my mind) ,and I found out that all cars should have it. Then I went out and put the key in ignition and turned it until all the dash lights came on, but I didnt see any tire pressure lights coming on.

Infinus:
Not that i know of. Just take a pressure gage to each tire and you should find it quickly.

Bence8810:
I think that's because the sensors take about 30-40 minutes to sense that the pressure is low. I drive aftermarked wheels and tires with no TPS and the warning light does not come on until I drive for about 40 minutes.

 

I have aftermarket wheels w/ no TPS and found that the light comes on if i drive over 107 miles w/ out shutting off the car.
Reason for 107 miles i don't know ... but i noticed it about that time each time.

 

I drive stock wheels so that should not apply to me. What I meant is that upon getting in the car and turning the ignition until all lights light up, I dont see a tire pressure feedback led.

Could it be that my car came without it?

Thanks

Ben:
My bad, didn't read carefullly enough. I don't know if they have it on oversees cars. I would think they do but not sure. The light should be on the left hand side of your dash.


Mtrappo:
Sound about right for the way I drive 40 mins = 107 miles

 

really? mine would go off right when i turned on my car when it was low. then if you drive about 2 mins after filling it up the light will turn off. btw the green goo tire fixer seems to have solved my leaky tire problem.

 

wait till u bring that to the shop to have it taken off and there goo everywhere, not to mention it can throw off your tire balance pretty bad that stuff is terrible for leaks, get it fixed right.

 

In this case I really think mine is not equipped, as there is no such light when I put the ignition to the stage where the lights show up. Very strange, I though this wouldnt be such a major thing to put in to overseas cars.

I will check, maybe the bulb went out, and I do in fact have the function.
