Default Low PSI does not go away!

From my understanding...when you break above 28 or 29 PSI, shouldn't the warning go away? Mine stays right there. Is this I just got the car like 4 days ago...don't tell me somethings wrong with the sensors and I have to take it in! Is there a certain PSI that the tires have to get above for it to go away? And from my reading, you can't clear the warning away, it's supposed to turn off? BTW, I'm driving a 2004 model if there's any differences.

Try putting air in your tires.

Great...how do you reset the ECU? If I simply select the tire presure display (front or rear), then hold the bottom right button (the -)...should that reset it? Doesn't seem to now, or do I have to be stopped?

I also noticed that the temp does not change between F and C...it's always on F. Any info there?

Seriously, put 36 psi in your tires and drive around. It will turn off.

FLY BY Z is correct put air in the tires, also dont trust the PSI guage at the gas stations. This happened to both the Z and the Murano. Go buy a tire pressure guage and make sure all your tires are at around 35psi cold.

32 is the magic number; its wieird tho; sometimes itll set off at 28; but it wont beep unless its UNDER 28. and sometimes itll go off at 32; but once I had 3 tires at 39 and 1 at 31 and it went off. but its generally 28-32 is your range to get it on and off; with what seems to be some flexability.

The stock tires should be 35 COLD, so you definitely should be adding air.

No reason to reset the ECU.
