Nissan Pathfinder Tire Pressure Light in Mesa, AZ

On a Nissan Pathfinder, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or the tire-pressure monitoring system may have a fault. The symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steady light calls for tire pressure to be checked and set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on points to a monitoring-system issue. Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, Arizona, checks every tire and sensor to separate an inflation or puncture concern from a sensor problem.

Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa provides tire pressure light diagnosis for Nissan Pathfinder SUVs in Mesa, AZ.

What the tire pressure light means on a Nissan Pathfinder

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily lit, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the driver's door-jamb placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees, and an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. The pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the tires look fully inflated but the light remains on, the tires and monitoring sensors still need to be checked. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on means the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor battery that has run down. Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa can identify which condition is present.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa

The service begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor's signal and battery status are scanned, giving the technician information beyond a visual inspection of the tires.

The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring function can recognize the serviced components. This process separates a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. Schedule service at Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa for a complete tire pressure light check.
