Default TPMS Flashing On

Yesterday it was raining pretty hard and I noticed just as i was pulling into my driveway that the TPMS light was flashing. Today I noticed that after a minute or two the light was consistently on. I already checked the tire pressure and all the tires seem good. I checked the Nissan book and it says that I should bring my car into a dealership to have it checked out. Im under the assumption that one of the sensors is no good. Has anybody else had this and what did you find the problem to be?

Unfortunately, with the newer models Zs there's no individual pressure display so you can't see if one or more sensor is not being read. It could be something as simple as a dead sensor, or as bad as a failure of the TPM system.

Ok thanks, i think ill have my mechanic look at it before going to the dealership to see what the consensus is. Definitely hoping its one of the sensors and not the whole system
