He set all the tires to the correct pressure and said that I may have to drive the car several times before the light will go out. Well now I've driven the car 10-12 times and the light is still on. All my trips are less than 20 minutes in length. Do I need to drive for a longer time for the light to go out?
No, you shouldn't have to....I couldn't get mine to go off either which iswhy I took it in to Nissan....and I had done everything according to themanual. Now, my light is off, but Nissan really over-inflated my tires to get it to shut off. Thats why I was saying that its not uncommon for usto get 80 degree weather in the winter here in Colorado...which wouldcause the psi in my now over-inflated tires to shoot up to around 45psi...which is ridiculous. I think their TPMS is faulty and worthless! I'm justnot impressed with alot of things about Nissan anymore.... Remember, the tech told me that the TPMS sensors are only accurateat sea level and cannot be recalibrated.....that, to me, is a defect!!!!!
IF MY LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN.....here is what I am gonna do. Since thewarning light will not reset as per our manual instructions.....I will copy the dealership trick and over-inflate each tire by approx 6psi, (38-39psieach), then drive the car above 25mph which should reset the warninglight. Then, once the light is reset, and contrary to the dealership wherethey would just leave the tires dangerously over-inflated, I will carefullyback the psi back down in each tire to around 35psi and leave them atthat......I believe that will solve the problem til the next time......wheneverthat might be???? ....stupid TPMS system!
