It's your TPS system warning. Check your tire pressure. Each tire should be between 32-36 psi cold. After you inflate the tires, the warning light should go away.

BTW, cold weather will decrease your tire pressure. It worries me that they sold you the car without going through a quick check...I'd check your fluids, brakes and tire tread to be safe.

I'd definately check the tire pressure... mine's gone off a couple times as well and a little air fixes it everytime. Remember that your tire pressure is going to decrease in cold weather... throw some air (or take some out if it's too high) in there to make sure you're in compliance with the recommended pressure and keep her in the garage overnight to see if the tires warm up to it... Keep us posted.

Mine's gone off a couple times due to cold weather. Will drop 1 pound per 10 degrees. It's also gone off a couple times to let me know I had a nail in the tire as well!

that happened to me to. make sure the cap is on correctly, otherwise you may slowly leak air. i figure this one out after the dealer sold me the car.

Check the spare too!

Wifes Sequoia TPMS light came on... All the tires were at 35 PSI so I took it to Toyota. The Spare had leaked down to 26 psi.

A normal radial tire without nitrogen fill can loose 2 lbs a month.

I don't think the G35 spare has one...I've removed the tire and did not get a warning.

I had that stupid light come on a couple months ago too, when i first saw it i was like "OMG OMG" so i called the dealer to see what it was and as you guys said it's the tire pressure. I wasn't sure if i should believe the girl in service for whatever reason so I called back the next day to verify with somebody else

Yep! Mine blinked a little last week, and stayed on. When i slowed down to a halt, it went off. When i picked up speed, it started blinking again. So, I stopped ata gas station to check the tires, and sure my right left rear tire was low. Filled it up with air and blinkers have never come on again.

If they have blocked Nico, there are other sites that will get you there.

that little (!) is freakin annoying. Living in cold weather, even though I keep the G in the garage, it goes off all the time. When the temp gets down to around 40f, it will come on like clockwork after 45 min of driving. Turn off the car and the light goes off. Had it checked @ Infiniti and they say nothing is wrong. REALLY makes me wanna move to FLA.

What are you saying?

The woman in the service department..........

Get a good quality tire pressure gauge & go to a nearby gas station (Hess still has free air pumps) in the early morning when the tires are cold & you haven't driven very far. Put 35 to 38lbs or air in them. Keep in mind on very cold mornings the pressure drops. As we get into spring & the weather warms you can recheck them. I check mine once a week.

Honestly, and it's terrible for me to say this but being a female i guess i'm "allowed" to, the way she said it, coupled with being a female it lead me to want to speak to someone else to make sure!
