How to Reset the TPMS on Your INFINITI Vehicle

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a critical safety feature on all INFINITI vehicles. It alerts you when tire pressure is too low, helping prevent uneven tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and unsafe driving conditions. If your TPMS light stays on after inflating your tires, you may need to reset it. Follow this guide for a step-by-step process to reset your TPMS and keep your INFINITI performing at its best.

What is the TPMS?

The TPMS monitors the air pressure in your tires using sensors installed in each wheel. When the pressure drops below the recommended level, a warning light appears on your dashboard. Maintaining correct tire pressure improves safety, fuel economy, and tire lifespan.

Why Reset Your TPMS?

After adjusting tire pressure, replacing tires, or rotating wheels, your TPMS may need a reset to recalibrate the system. Resetting ensures the warning light accurately reflects current tire pressure, preventing unnecessary alerts while keeping your vehicle safe on the road.

Step-by-Step Guide to Reset the TPMS on INFINITI Vehicles

1. Check Tire Pressure: Ensure all tires, including the spare if applicable, are inflated to the recommended PSI found in your owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door jamb.
2. Turn the Vehicle On: Start your INFINITI and leave it in park with the engine running.
3. Locate the TPMS Reset Button: In most INFINITI models, the reset button is under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment. Refer to your owner’s manual if you have trouble finding it.
4. Press and Hold the Reset Button: Hold the button until the TPMS indicator blinks three times, then release it.
5. Drive the Vehicle: Drive at 25 mph or faster for at least 10–15 minutes to allow the system to calibrate and complete the reset.
6. Verify the Reset: Ensure the TPMS warning light turns off. If it remains on, recheck tire pressures and repeat the procedure, or consult your INFINITI service center.

Model-Specific Tips for INFINITI Vehicles

While most INFINITI models follow the standard procedure, some newer models like the QX60, QX80, or Q50 may include an electronic reset option via the vehicle’s touchscreen or settings menu. Always check your owner’s manual for model-specific instructions.

Troubleshooting Common TPMS Issues

• TPMS Light Stays On: Confirm all tires are inflated correctly and repeat the reset.
• After Tire Rotation: Always reset TPMS to update sensor locations.
• New Tires Installed: Reset is required after sensor replacement or tire installation.
• Battery-Operated Sensors: Some TPMS sensors may need battery replacement every 5–10 years.

Preventative TPMS Maintenance

Regularly inspect tire pressures, rotate tires according to your INFINITI maintenance schedule, and replace TPMS sensors as needed. Consistent maintenance helps avoid warning light issues and keeps your vehicle safe.
