tire pressure monitor- does yours work ? by ohiobuck

The tire pressure monitor on my new Rogue has been on constantly since shortly after I took delivery. Tire pressure is 36 lb in each tire which is 3 lb more than the sticker on the doorframe recommends.
 
What does it take to get this thing to turn off ? My son has a new Maxima and had the same problem. The dealer offered to 'fix' it by filling the tires with nitrogen (for $20). That tells me not to take this car to the dealer for service but doesn't solve the problem. I'd just turn the thing off if I knew what wire to cut.
 
Anyone else had a problem with the tire pressure monitor?

nitrogen wont do any good. what people don't realize with nitrogen is, about 80% of the air your breathing is nitrogen. My advice would be to first get a new tire gauge. I'm not saying that is deffinitly your problem, but most of the people I've know who have had TPMS problems simply were getting incorrect pressure readings from a bad gauge.

Solution: TPMS problem by ohiobuck

Took my car in for the 1000 mile service today. The problem with the TPMS was that its trigger point was set too high. Using their diagnostic computer they reset it to 32lb and the light has stayed off. They did not give me any BS about trying a nitrogen fill and I left thinking I had made the right choice of which dealer to buy the car from.

How does the monitor work, if I want to run my tires alittle softer than reccomended, will it be going off constantly?

No. It will only warn you if one tire is softer than the others. Just keep all 4 tires at equal pressures and you'll be OK. Dealer had mine too high [38lbs]. Two weeks later I lowered them to 33lbs [6 wks ago], everything is fine. One under inflated tire spins more revolutions to cover the same distance than the other properly inflated tires...... the computer sees that and puts a warning light on.
 
PS: you did say "a little softer", I'm not sure if you went to extreme pressure drop...I never tried that.

Interesting explanation. The dealer told me something different. They said there is a setting that determines the least amont of pressure that is OK. Below that the alrm lights up. Mine was set to 38lb. All my tires were at 36lb (I checked more than once) and the indicator was on. They reset the limit to 32lb and now the light is off. To test the two explanations you might lower yours to 30lb and make sure they are all equal then see if the light comes on.

Your probable right, there has to be some kind of threshold to set off the warning light. Usually you just have one tire going soft as my past experience has been on my Toyota that put the light on. And your limit might have been set too high. I lowered mine to 33lbs and its OK, as I said in my PS...

FYI OEM Conti 4x4 Contact:
 
Took delivery on my Rogue at 19 miles on ODO. Tread depth on Contis was 6,6,6, & 7/32!!! Won't go far on that. So upgraded to Avids for that and other reasons. 16/32 at install. Much quieter at Interstate speeds. Much smoother at slower speeds. The CVT vibration is noticeably less at slow speeds. dealer gave good trade on the OEMS.
