(!) Light. help..
I know this light means tire pressure is low because I had an 05 Coupe and an 06 M35, but this light turned on right after I got my car back from the dealer for an oil change. I figured ah the tire pressure is just low so I will go stop by a gas station and fill it up. The tires say max of 51psi so I checked all four tires and they are around 40-43psi each so none of them were that low. I just made them all around 43 to even it out but the light still doesnt turn off. Do you guys think maybe the tires just needs more air or should I go to the dealer and see whats going on?

I had that happening to me twice in a week. I did what you did as well, but I figure it out...the sensor turns out to be VERY sensitive. So, what I did afterwards was to really tighten/screw the caps on, then it has not happened again. That was at least 3/4 months ago.
This is my own opinion...I recommend you to verify the pressure before tightening.

Hope it helps, if not, you may have to go to the factory to get your sensor reset.

It's probably the TPMS because your tires are over inflated, but to be sure which one of these indicators is lit up:
TPMS malfunction:
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute when the ignition switch is pushed ON. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.

If it does the TPMS might be malfunctioning, otherwise adjust your tires to the recommended pressure of 33psi and make sure the caps are tight. I get the TPMS warning every once in a while on cold mornings (or when there's a screw in my $300 winter tire ).

I had that same light come on and my tire pressures were at spec...33. When I took my car in for the oil change I told the dealer about this warning light. They said the tire pressure monitors weren't 'registered.' What ever that means. They 'registered' the tire pressure monitors and the warning light went off.
