Faulty TPMS?

My TPMS light came on randomly the other day and I assumed that it was because of the changing temps. Yesterday while I was out and about, I decided to pull into a gas station and check my air pressure. All of them were around 35psi so I said wtf. Put a little air in all the tires and bumped them all to 40psi. Got back in the car and the light was still on. Restarted and the light was still brightly illuminated.

Anyone else experience this or could they go bad??

If your car is still under warranty take it to the dealers. Somethimes they just go bad. I had 2 of them go bad on me. Good thing they are under warranty or i would be shelling out 125 bucks. But now i don't worry about it b/c i have after market wheels. So my light is always on. But if you want that light off go to the dealers.

After you put air in the tire you have to drive it a while for the TPMS to reset. Although I had new tires put on my car by the dealer. When I got home the TPMS light came on. I took it pack and they set they for got to reset the code, next day the light was on again. I took it back, they said the TPMS sensor was bad, $250 please. I said that it worked fine before you put on the tires, did you possibly break it. No, so sorry, $250 please. That is the only questionable issue I have ever had with this service department.

When I get home, I'll have to drop the car off at Infiniti and have them replace my trim piece, pop out my two door dings, and do this. Little list of bits to do.

i got aftermarket wheels with orange electronics AM pressure sensors and monitor which comes with a display that shows pressure in each tire so i know exactly which tire is low, best part was i got all 4 sensors with display for under $100 with the wheel tire combo, even without that its pretty cheap and much better than OEM price wise and use wise as well
