Low Tire Pressure Sensor '04 EB

[tmac04EB]

I have a faulty tire pressure sensor that's driving me nuts. Is it possible to just disable it so I stop getting the warning on my message center.

i wouldnt advise it then you'll never know when you actually have low pressure...how do you know its faulty? are you taiking it to the recommended psi and light still on? go a couple pass the psi and see if that kills it...make sure all tires are good and with you being in WA...its getting cold and that does play with your psi...after that look at getting new sensors...then have them reset at your local shop if you dont want to go to dealership

Like Freeway said. The cold can mess with them especially if the pressure is close to low to begin with. Mine threw a low pressure light the other day when it got into the 60's for the first time. All 4 where a couple pounds low. I aired them all up and no problems since. I also wouldn't adbise turning them off.

If the pressure is good, try dumping the air, shoot some wd40 into the stem, pump back to 35..

Try a nitrogen fill in your tires, it is more stable than compressed air. I ran 35lbs all summer then it cooled off recently, my light was illuminated on the cold mornings, loaded them with 37lbs of nitrogen and no more light, I think you will see the difference.

i love this idea...i was quoted $50 total for nitrogen fill at Nissan dealership...dont know of anyone else that does nitrogen in my area...its standard fill on nissans now...at least at my dealership...if you service your car there...its getting nitrogen...had

When I put new tires on my truck in the summer, they asked if I wanted the nitrogen. They said it was only $3 per tire, so I figured I'd give it a shot and see. The light on that hasn't come one since. The light on the wife's EB has been coming on like crazy over the last few weeks. It's been getting colder here. I fill em up and in a couple of days the lights back on again. When hers needs tires, I'm getting them filled with nitrogen for sure.

The tires she has stink to say the least. They are very noisy and don't ride nice. So what ever I can do to get them to wear out faster... she might let me since she hates seeing that light. Although I will say this our old commander would keep dinging and changing to the read out of which tires were low. Where the expy doesn't. The only thing I liked about that car was it would show you what each tire was, you didn't have to guess which one was low

We have had one (1) bad sensor for 6 years. Straight nitrogen since the first tire swap in 2005, but the sensor is bad, and crazy money to fix. No leak, but it does remind my daughter to run the truck by the last remaining full service station in town for an oil check and tire pressure check. Yeah, I know, she should do it herself, but it would be easier for me to build a 4 lane highway from California to Guam than get her to do more than check the mirrors, change the CD, etc. Teenagers.
