The owners manual says that the PSI warning light will come on if tires are not above 28 PSI. Mine went off for the first time a few days ago, and I filled my tires (they are at about 31 PSI now) but my warning light has NOT gone out. Has anyone else had the problem? Do you have to reset it in some way? I can't seem to get the light to go off...

 

Wow, interesting timing. My light went off this morning. My front tire had fallen to 27 psi. When I got home I filled it to 33 psi. I waited for what seemed like forever - nothing happened. So, I drove around the neighborhood. Finally, it went off. I am supposed to have the car serviced and tires alighned next week so I am going to find out what the deal it.

 

Im not sure if I just need to fill them higher maybe? Their consistantly 30-31 PSI, but it won't go off...

 

are all of your tires at even psi? like 35 35 35 35??? or is one lower than the rest?

 

I usually keep mine around 33. This is only the second time in nearly 2 years that I have had to do this. I am sure they are checked during service jobs and alignments as well. I am still going to ask my service manager on Monday though. Both times it has happened, I had one tire at 27 psi. I would try putting a little more air in and see what happens. Hope this helps.

 

Can try to keep it above 33psi. After that, drive it around for few miles and it'll go off. Also, my was originally set too high when I purchased the car, I went back to the dealer and they changed the sensor to a lower PSI. So you could request them to tune it down lower for warning light to come on.

 

Personally, tire pressure sensor is pretty annoying. You can not even change to after market rims. The sensor goes off all the time. That's why I pick enthusiast model. Easy to change rims.

 

It fall season.

On average, we loose 1 psi per 5 degres C drop in temperature (a bit less than 10F).

Mine was at 30psi all around. No wonder I was doing 30 miles less per tank and the car felt wrong.

 

Yeah mine went off for the second time yesterday. I guess they loose a little bit of pressure over time, and then you get a nice cold morning and your below 28.

The last time this happened to me I filled them all back up, and it took about 5 miles of driving before the light went off.

That's actually on my to-do list today, right after I wax this baby I've gotta go fill up the tires and get rid of that light. Then it's off to the window tinter...a full day of pampering the Z, can't wait...

 

Remember to fill the spare tire too...

 

good point, thanks!

 

Front Tires 32, Rear Tires 34.. I Think.. My Warning Light Goes Off When I Fill It Up To These Pressures..

 

Tires are supposed to be at 35 psi. Try increasing to 35 & see what happens. If you really want to keep tires at 31, just bleed some air back out.

 

just to let you know what my problem was...

i just bought new wheels for my z and my sensor went off. they re-checked it and my sensor was loose on 1 tire, thus it was leaking slowly down under 28 psi.

 

Keep it at 35-36 psi thats what it says on the door pannel, on the driver door, drive about 20-30 miles should reset!

 

man, this gauge went off on me this morning... had to bust out ol' bessie (my 99 pathfinder)

 

make sure there isnt a nail in the tire its complaining about. It happened to me and it was real hard to see so I thought there was not one there and just kept filling the tire up for about 2 weeks until I finally saw the damn nail.

 

Yeah it says 35 is the recommended cold pressure, for those who have their tires at 35 cold, what does it get up to once warm? Mine are 40 after it's been driven a bit. That ok?

 

Yeah, that's OK.

Mine literally "went off" (ie. quit sending).

The "get a bigger hammer" solution was all that I could do. Actually, I just drove on some midwest highways for a while -- that jarred the sensors enough that they finally came back "on" and have been working ever since.

 

I had my light go off so I pulled into a tire service place that was near my office. After filling my tire, the technician used a small device to shut off the warning light. He waved it near the sensor and pushed a button.
