The bottom number should be the driver side, the top should be the passenger side.

The warning (!) came on because your pressure is below 28psi in at least one tire. Actually, all your pressures are off, they should be 35 all around. You need to get an accurate air pressure gauge and set them based on that, not what the readings are. Also, don't forget to do it "cold".

The 23 is the problem and setting off the signal. Same thing happened to me, there was a screw in the tire. Also, the other rear readings (33/46) are off. Both should be around 33, 46 seems high.

This is weird because coming back from HIN, my light went off as well. Checked my tires and nothing was out of place. I just had new rims/tires put on though the day prior so maybe that is the problem? The light blinks for 1 minute, then stays steady. According to the manual, it says if that occurs, the tmps is not functioning properly and to have Nissan take a look at it.
