Nissan Maxima tire sensor light active despite tires being fine on Nissan Maxima

Problem overview

Some Nissan Maxima owners report experiencing persistent tire pressure warning lights despite their tires being in good condition. This issue may stem from factors such as leaking tires, wheels that fail to hold air, or a faulty tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Additionally, the warning light can illuminate due to low air pressure in one or more tires, depleted batteries in pressure sensors, malfunctioning TPMS receiver modules, or damaged pressure sensors. Some owners notice that a blinking tire pressure light indicates issues with the tire pressure sensor or a malfunctioning receiver. Extreme temperature fluctuations, slow tire leaks, and problems with spare tires or electrical components may also trigger the warning light. In certain cases, the light continues to blink even after tires are inflated, possibly due to lost connections within the monitoring system or memory loss in the TPMS sensor. Resetting the TPMS may resolve these issues, but if the low tire pressure light remains on, it could indicate a need to address faulty sensors or receiver modules. Addressing these potential causes is crucial for the proper functioning of the TPMS in the Nissan Maxima.
