Default What is this Light on my Dash??

Hey all, strange i have a light that just came on my dash and i have no clue what it is. It looks like a Horseshoe, with some arrows inside of it, and a little dot inside of the arrows. also my 'PSI' indicator keeps blinking and beeps when the car comes on. Anyone know what this is? thank you

It means that you have removed the TPS sensors OR the system can no longer pick their signal up. Unless they're still on the car, then nothing is really wrong.

It appears as though you have to drive a certain distance or time without stopping before the light will come on. It's that way by design.

Go to nissan-techinfo and download the owners manual in PDF for free.

They also have the service manual, but that isn't free -- but you can pay for a one-day access (< $20) and download the PDFs.

When I got my aftermarket wheels, this light comes on after about 45 minutes of driving. I have never heard any beep though.

Is there any way to disable the TPS system completely? Seeing "-- --" in the Info Center gauge on the dash when cycling through is fine, but I would like to disable the yellow "low tire" icon from coming on in the instrument cluster and that obnoxious 30 second per tire alarm buzzer that goes off and scares the crap out of you(!).

Are you absolutely sure about the tire pressure? Whoever changed your oil may have incorrectly set your pressure. Check it yourself to be sure, don't assume its ok.
