Holy crap! A steady ( ! ) means that one (or more) of your tires has low tire pressure...

 

i had a bad alternator in my old altima throw the brake + battery light (standard Nissan indication of a fault in the charging system). When I checked for voltage it was putting out normal voltage. But when I had it tested on a machine it failed.

 

May have had voltage...but the regulator may have been bad and may be overcharging the system. Or it may not be able to maintain the required amp draw for the vehicle.

 

I dont have tire pressure sensor for my car.

Thanks everyone, alternator is going in tomorrow. I'll report back

btw dealer wanted 475 for the alternator, asked my friend and got one for 290 (non refurb), this is canadian.

 

got the new alternator in, still on.

any suggestions?

 

Wow, I thought that would have done it. Have you checked the battery terminal connections?

Free bump.

 

yuh i had it on put air in my tires and it went away .. Right after ..

Shrugs shoulders to other lights ..

 

Yup, first thing i check, i'm giving up. Everything actually working fine except for the damn lights, i'm thinking of just pulling the lights out of the dash.

 

I'm getting the same thing, did the new alternator fix it?

 

^ Please read through the whole thread before you ask a question that has already been answered. Doh!! Post #20 in case you miss it the second time around. ;(

 

start by getting your alternator tested.

 

Im getting the same problem. Just started yesterday. It was flashing but now they are on solid but very dim. I'm going to try a new battery later.

 

That is the normally the low air pressure warning.. although it would turn on if one of the sensors is bad too.. Nissan's version of tpms only monitors the tires in motion and after filling them with air, might still be on for a few miles..

However if the battery light is on too then Idk, is the battery a low maintance or sealed? If low maint, check each cell to make sure enough fliud is in them..

 

3 milliseconds of googling and here's your answer:

Those lights being on indicates a bad diode pack inside the alternator. The alternator itself is probably still charging and you can drive it like this for a long time. The only thing is, if the alternator dies, you won't know it. Replacing the alternator will correct this.

Maybe your replacement is shot too or is it possible the diode pack is seperate from your alt?

 

My TPMS sensor ligh (!) comes on when im driving for awhile on the freeway as well. Wierd, huh? Factory design flaw.
