my light lit up 2 days ago, and yes one tire had a lil low pressureafter filling the air back up, went home, next day the light turned off..

did u check all 4 tires? check the tire that was low again, see if it leaked air again

if not then dealers can fix this

Mine was on as soon as I drove off the dealership. Took it back two weeks later when I got my plates and they took it in the back for twenty minutes to "re-program" the TPMS, saying it had lost its programming. Go poke a dealership with a stick if you have verified that all your tires are filled.

Mine stays on all winter and goes away when it gets warm, my tire pressure is fine, all of my nissans did this, the 350Z had individual tire pressures displayed and they were all fine and within 1 psi of weach other and it still happened in the winter, my Titan did this as well, and now my A/C

SO here's what to do, do an ECU reset and if it returns and your tire pressure is fine, then take to dealer... here's the procedure (can be frustrating but does work)

1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch to on (push button) and wait 3 seconds...this can be frustrating if you have CVT by on i mean on without the engine running2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds. 2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD). 2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal. 3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking. 4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking) 5. Wait about 10 second. 6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds. 7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink). 8. Push button to off position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone. If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU.
