How to reset the tire pressure warning message on an Infiniti?

Press and hold the SET button with the tire pressure symbol located on the far right side in front of the gear lever for an extended period. If the tire pressure is normal, the warning light will be reset. You can also reset it through the settings in the multifunction steering wheel. Alternatively, use a computer diagnostic tool to perform a reset.
I recently dealt with my Infiniti tire pressure warning issue and would like to share some practical steps. Usually, the warning is triggered by low pressure in one of the tires. First, use a tire pressure gauge to check all tires when the car is cold—the recommended values are on the door frame—and adjust them to the standard range. If everything is normal, go to the vehicle settings menu—operated via the control buttons on the steering wheel—press OK or the menu key, navigate to the vehicle information or settings submenu, find the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and select the reset or initialization option. After confirming, drive for a few minutes to let the system recalibrate, and the warning should disappear. If the warning persists, check for leaks or sensor malfunctions in the tires—don’t attempt to disassemble anything yourself; instead, visit a reliable repair shop. Make it a habit to check tire pressure weekly to avoid sudden false alarms.
As an enthusiast who often helps friends with car repairs, I have experience dealing with Infiniti's tire pressure warning system. The alarm is often triggered by pressure fluctuations or sensor errors. First, carefully measure the pressure of all tires with a gauge to ensure they meet the standard. If the pressure is consistently normal, it might be a false alarm. Start the car but don't move, navigate to the settings menu on the dashboard or center console, find the TPMS or similar setting, and reset it. After driving, the system will self-check and the alarm should disappear. If the alarm keeps recurring, check for tire leaks or depleted sensor batteries. I recommend having technicians calibrate the TPMS with diagnostic tools during regular maintenance to reduce false alarms. It's simple to handle yourself daily, but both overinflation and underinflation can damage tire wear, so safety comes first.
