TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. If your vehicle
has this feature, sensors are mounted on each tire and wheel assembly, except
the spare
tire. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your vehicle's tires
and transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
The TPMS is designed to alert the driver, if a low tire pressure
condition exists. This system also allows the driver to check tire pressure
levels using the Driver Information Center (DIC).
When a low tire
pressure condition is detected, the TPMS displays the "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE"
warning message on the DIC, and at the same time illuminates the low tire
pressure warning symbol.
You may notice, during cooler weather
conditions, that the tire pressure monitor light, located on the instrument
panel cluster, and the "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" message will appear when the
vehicle is first started and then turn off as you start to drive the vehicle.
This could be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and
need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
Each tire, including the
spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires
of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one
or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note
that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
The "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" warning message and
low tire pressure light (telltale) will appear at each ignition cycle until the
tires
are inflated to the correct inflation pressure.
The Tire and Loading
Information label (tire information placard) shows the size of your vehicle's
original tires
and the correct inflation pressure for your vehicle's tires when they are
cold.
Your vehicle's TPMS can alert you about a low tire pressure
condition but it does not replace normal tire maintenance.
NOTICE:
Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle has Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor sensors.
RESETTING THE
TPMS IDENTIFICATION CODES
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification
code. Any time you rotate your vehicle's tires
or replace one or more of the TPMS sensors, the identification codes will need
to be matched to the new tire/wheel position. Each tire/wheel position is
matched to a sensor, by increasing or decreasing the tire's air pressure. The
sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions in the following order: LF TIRE
(left front tire on the driver's side of the vehicle), RF TIRE (right front tire
on the passengers side of the vehicle), RR TIRE (right rear tire on the
passengers side of the vehicle), and LR TIRE (left rear tire on the driver's
side of the vehicle).
You will have one minute to match the first
tire/wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four tire/wheel
positions. If it takes longer than one minute, to match the first tire and
wheel, or more than five minutes to match all four tire and wheel positions the
matching process stops and you will need to start over.
The TPMS sensor
matching process is outlined below:

the reset button on the 2011 Tiguan is located in front of the shift lever to the right of the trunk open switch!
SOURCE: I just bought a 2008
you have a low tire...the vehicle has a sensor to read the tires pressure..just air tires up to recommended pressure and light will go off.
SOURCE: Nissan 2007 Frontier tire pressure monitoring system
You need to set all the pressures to 35 psi. first then drive for approx.1/4 mile. If this doesn't work to reset the light (keep in mind the code itself will still be stored even though the light goes off) you will need to take it to your Nissan Dealer to have it scanned as there may be a malfunction with the sensor. If faulty and you are under 36k miles then it should be covered under your factory warranty. Hope this helps.
