Replying to: mz6greyghost (Apr 30, 2009 3:26 am) Lastly, this tpms is not going to affect anything regarding safety or driveability right? I mean could we drive without the sensors and be fine? We'd just have a light on. I live in NJ. It's known to be a bit of a "nanny" state. You fail inspection if the check engine light is on, I'm sure it's a matter of time before they fail us for the tire light! Thanks for your help. We just got rid of an older car that made me neurotic about what could go wrong next or what maintenance/repair was needed. Got this much newer one to avoid that! (and of course I find something to obsess over anyway!)

Replying to: whitall (Apr 30, 2009 6:25 am) If the light stays on, in MOST cases it's a sensor in the wheel itself that can go bad, which isn't too expensive to fix. If it's still under the Nissan warranty, it should be covered fully under the Nissan warranty. Lastly, this tpms is not going to affect anything regarding safety or driveability right? I mean could we drive without the sensors and be fine? We'd just have a light on. It'll be fine. Case in point: we bought separate winter tires/wheels for my wife's '07 Altima, and at the time, the TPMS sensors were WAY too expensive (over $100 apiece!) to even consider, so we go without them for the winter. The only thing that happens is the TPMS light flashing for the first 30 seconds after start-up, then it stays on. It doesn't affect any other system, and since I check the tire pressure religiously... I live in NJ. It's known to be a bit of a "nanny" state. You fail inspection if the check engine light is on, I'm sure it's a matter of time before they fail us for the tire light! If NY doesn't fail you (where I live), then I highly doubt that NJ would, although I could be wrong...  Thanks for your help. We just got rid of an older car that made me neurotic about what could go wrong next or what maintenance/repair was needed. Got this much newer one to avoid that!

Replying to: whitall (Apr 29, 2009 6:05 pm) keep in mind, air does pass through the tires (in very small amounts), and over time you tires will go flat. And if I'm not mistaken, a 10% drop in tire pressure will trigger the TPMS light. |

| My son has purchased an oil pressure switch for his 2000 Nissan Altima. Where is it located on the engine? Is there a drawing, picture, etc. available? | |
| Ive got a 2002 Nissan ALtima. Ive been having problems with the cruise control when Im driving on the interstate. When you get up to about 70 mph, the cruise kicks off and the car starts jerking a little bit. I thought it might be a clogged injector but I ran "Sea Foam" through it a couple of times and it only helps for a couple of days ( i drive on the interstate daily). When it jerks, the abs, and tcs lights come on and stay on. Any ideas before i go get raped by a mechanic? | |

Replying to: dcup (May 05, 2009 7:23 pm) to me, sounds like it might be a crank position sensor. In fact, I believe there was a recall issued for them some time back.
