Default PSI Light?

I was sitting in my car letting the engine warm up before taking off to lunch today when the light to the left of the ABS and above the Check Engine light suddenly started blinking for about a minute and then just stayed on solid, now it does it every time I start the car. Is this the PSI light? I noticed the Rear PSI were showing up as 34/33 and the Front is only showing 33/-- now for some reason.

Any thoughts on why this would happen and how to fix it?

Took a video of it.

You can download Owners Manuals here... http://www.courtesyparts.com/owners-manuals.php


The "--" indicates that a sensor is not being read, it may be broken, or nor longer assigned to the system. You'll need to get a dealer to check for sure.

What's odd is that it starts blinking right when you start the car, correct? Normally, the low pressure warning doesn't come on until your drive it a few minutes. It won't register pressures until you get over 20MPH. Since it comes on and blinks, that looks like some kind of system failure warning.

The owners manual is very helpful. You can get one free at Courtesy Nissan.

Thank you for the link, I went through the manual and it states the TPMS has malfunctioned. I'm going to take it in to the dealer soon to have it checked out, I have the extended warranty so I hope it's covered.
