good ?

usually these things go off in cold weather down here but i dont know about the whole system. Have you tried checking the tire pressure or unhooking the battery to reset?

Well im station in Hattiesburg, Mississppi and we have had some crazy cold weather with snow, go figure in the south. I have not associated it with the cold but thats something im going to start paying attention too. Thanks once again for the info :D

Cold makes the air more dense so tire pressure goes down. Check them and put them back up to 33 and see if it goes away.

My parents pathfinder does the exact thing every year when it gets cold. First starts with check tire pressure then says thier is a sensor problem fill her up with air reset battery and she is good to go for another year.

Mine says SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM. Is there really a way to reset it and make it go away?

I get that reading all the time and it says to service the pressure monitoring system, but I'm too cheap to bring it to the dealer. :)

if we dont have spares why the F do I have this message? Its odd that I am the only one in this whole forum that has this code

You should feel "special", no? You are probably going to have to have dealer program the spare out, no idea why it would be appearing on your SRT.

Sounds like a bad sensor or two, nothing a thousand dollars can't fix :D.

Could be your wireless ignition node - is reads the TPMS - Just had mine replaced under recall (possible no start) before the dealer replaced, I reviewed the service book to see what was involved and what it did exactly - one of the functions was communicating with the pressure sensors (also the keys)
