Your tire pressure is low.

Actually, it could be the anti-lock brake warning light as well.

The low tire pressure icon looks like a tire cross section with an exclamation point in the middle. The brake warning light is an exclamation point in a circle with parenthesis around it.

TPMS letting you know you have low pressure.

Hey guys, I believe I had the same problem as well today. It gave me a ( ! ) with a little wave line underneath the "!" and it also made a longer "beeeeeeep" noise. I haven't had a chance to consult my user manual yet but do you guys imagine it's the same problem? Low tire pressure?

To me it looks more like my car is out of engine oil or whatever instead. How sure are you guys that this sign is a sign of low tire pressure?

is it that mind-numbingly difficult to open the user's manual or look up the readily available version at the infiniti website?

sorry if i sound a little rude... but this topic has been absolutely pulvarized to death on these forums in the past.

Very odd, I just replaced my oem 18" for 20" and the TPMS light came on 2 days later. I checked my tire pressure and it was a solid 34-36 psi. What should I do? I check my pressure after my daily drive and its fine.

I think you'll have to take it to a dealer and have them register the TPMS sensors with your car. They have a tool they use to do this.

Or, you could wait a few days. I've had my TPMS light come on twice. Both times, I checked tire pressure and found they were within specs but a couple of the tires differed in PSI slightly. I added a couple of PSI to even out the pressure but the light didn't go off. A couple of days later, when I was just about ready to take the car in to have it looked at, the light turned off.

I've seen where several people have had the same experience. The light sometimes takes several days or 50-100 miles to turn itself off.

You sure you have Tire Pressure Monitors on those wheels? If they dont have them your light will come on, either after driving 60 miles or it'll be on all the time... Just check your tire pressure and get used to ignoring the light. Your new wheels won't have them in unless you requested them to be exchanged...

Tire service light stays on

Does this mean that my tire pressure is low or?
