Had a warning telling me about low tyre pressures . Checked and all seemed OK.
Each time I start up it now gives me information on which wheel is underinflated...a different wheel each time.
Gives target pressures as 36 psi front and rear which I think is bollocks as I've used 33 and 30 for two and a half years.
Booked in for a check by Sunderland dealer on Friday, but is there any way of turning this nag screen off?
I've tried to reset target pressures but got nowhere. But it's making me paranoid and I'm checking all tyres 3 or 4 times a day.
Common problem or just my bad luck?

Warning comes on by default; it may well be that the batteries in the TPMS Valves have low batteries/ need changing.
Many tyre depots now fit these besides the £dealer.£

Calmac, try entering “Tyre Pressure” or similiar in the “Search” Area and all the previous posts should come up. Here is the information for the QQ J11 - Dave 😉

I didn't know a J10 had a TPMS fitted - there's nothing in the handbook or the brochures.

I think you can select another screen in the menus but on restarting the engine I think it'll default to the TPMS warning...Nanny Nissan

So this week I got the Warning !. I was at our Dealer and had our Winter Giacuzzo 17” Alloys with the Falken Tires re-fitted. When we picked the QQ New up in Nov19 these Wheels were already installed. On driving home after around 5Kms the “Low Pressure Tire Warning Light” started Flashing. I stopped on the Autobahn (not what I like) checked all of the Tire pressures, all were OK.
I then drove home “Carefully” checked again and then read the Nissan Manual checked the “Settings” but there were none, so I thought I would do a “Reset”. Now these wheels had Nissan “Non-Std” TPMS Valves which I thought might be the problem. Anyway I phoned our Sales Guy and he made the comment that he sold the QQ and was responsible so bring it back. As it was “Brakes” related I drove back and as always happens on Driving back the Light was still Flashing and then all of a sudden it was Gone ! ( luckily I had the photos) - Dave 😉
The Sales Guy (Service was informed) checked all the Settings and then done a Reset and then all was perfect.

Glad it's been sorted Dave. So annoying though that things put themselves right just before you arrive at the dealer!
