Ok so I was just driving one day and I noticed the check tire pressure light come on, so naturally after I got home I checked the pressures and sure they were like 1 psi lower so I refilled them to the recommended 33psi even slightly more and the light still doesn't go away. I went through the entire car's menus and couldn't find how to turn it off. When I start the car the light flashes and after a few seconds remains lit. Is there a problem with a sensor or something? And no the tires don't have any holes in them because they aren't losing any air.

 

If it blinks for a minute once you start and then remains solid, you have a bad sensor. At least I'm pretty sure that's the case because my light has been like that.

 

Blinking for 60 seconds and then solid means a malfuction somewhere. usually it's a bad sensor as they only last about 5 years or so typically.

 

Luckily I was still covered under the warranty when they replaced it. The dealers charge 125 for each sensor. If you monitor your own tires you shouldn't worry about the light.

 

I am running of 2nd set of rims with no TPMS and the light will blink then stay solid.

I just check my tire pressure like once a month, and keep an eye on the tires to make sure they don't look flat before I drive.

 

That's how it's been done since 1903 or whenever

 

Ok thanks for the replies guys, but is there a way to get rid of the light or am i just going to have to live with it? The car is well out of warranty so I'm not sure what to do.. Is there a way to know which sensor is bad or do you just change em all at the same time?

 

Infiniti wholesalers on Ebay do sell the sensors fairly cheap.

You can run the diagnostics to find the sensor and see what the issue is. You can buy a sensor, replace it, and then reset the light before.

There is a way to reset the light yourself, but it's a tad tricky and outlined in the post above. But i've done it.

 

There is a way to get rid of the light. Just pull the LED out. lol

 

I went the hillbilly route~a small piece of electrical tape over the display

 

Mine has been on for 2 years and i've just learned ot ignore it. Next time i do tires, i'll swap the sensors out

 

FTFY

 

I wonder how many of us has this light on? Mine has been on for 4 years and I just don't see it anymore. It's still there but I don't look at it.

 

It happened to me and if I recall correctly it was simply a dead battery in a tpms sensor.

 

I've dealt with many TPMS lights as a tire technician. Some vehicles have the option to reset the light manually or drive to reset option. Unfortunately, our cars have neither choice. For most cars, we usually set the correct psi and use a scan tool to read each sensor then plug in the ODB to write the ID's. A quick 2 min process at any local tire shop. Sensors do break and malfunction from time to time but please don't be fooled into purchasing new sensors if all you need is a quick reset.
