To reset the flat tire alarm on your INFINITIQ50, follow these simple steps. It should only take about 10 to 15 minutes of your time. First, open your driver's side door and enter your vehicle. Then, turn the ignition to the on position without starting the engine. Locate and press the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) button, holding it down until you see the light flash three times. After that, start your vehicle's engine. Wait for about 22 to 25 minutes before driving again, and the alarm should be successfully reset.

If we were aware of the location and function of the TPMS Reset Button, we wouldn't find ourselves questioning "How can I reset the indicator for my flat tire?" Simply responding with "just press the tire reset button" without providing the specific location is just like telling someone asking how to repair a flat tire that it's simple - just replace the flat tire with a good one. Could someone please provide a detailed step-by-step explanation of what needs to be done and precisely where it should be done?

To disable the flat tire alert on the INFINITI Q50 without starting the engine, engage the "On" button. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the light flashes three times, then release it. Turn on the vehicle and allow the sensor to recalibrate for 20 minutes. Usually, you can locate the tire pressure monitoring system reset button beneath the steering column.

On the newer Q50, the button for checking RPMs is located on the screen instead of a physical button. To access it, you navigate to settings, then meter, and press and hold the TPMS setting until a light flashes on your dashboard.

To clear the flat tire alert, you need to go to the dealership and have them connect the car to reset it. I've had to do this twice, so that's how I found out.

This answer is impossible to find on the internet. It seems like a hidden secret because all the websites I've looked at simply instruct you to press the button without revealing its location.

I've searched underneath the steering wheel, but I'm unable to locate the reset button.

I understand the process, but where can we find the button?

In 2021, I noticed a warning light on my Q50 last week. I quickly fixed the tire and continued driving. After a short distance, possibly around 50 miles or less, the light disappeared on its own. Just a heads up, using an OBDII device won't resolve the warning light issue. This happened on October 5, 2022.

After getting a flat tire and switching to my winter tires, the warning light stayed on. I took it to Kal Tire, but their device couldn't reset it. The dealer said I had to drive 6 hours to the dealership. A nearby Nissan dealer asked for $70 to reset it as they were a franchise. My local dealer in Winnipeg quoted $45 for turning off the light. Changing tires shouldn't lead to this kind of hassle and cost. Infiniti should simplify things by adding a reset button in the car. This experience has left me feeling scammed and frustrated. I won't be purchasing another Infiniti in the future.

The car uses flashing lights and beeping to help you fill the tire to the correct pressure, essentially communicating with you during the process - providing full driver assistance - however, it doesn't allow the driver to reset the monitoring system. It seems like someone on the design team dropped the ball by not completing this feature. While I've been a fan of owning Infinitis, I have to agree with the person who called this situation messed up. It's definitely below standard. :(

Hey everyone, I've been dealing with Infiniti vehicles since I was young. I can address the common concern about the flat tire light and the red light above the tires that appear on the dashboard. When the tire light comes on, it indicates low air pressure, and the car will alert you once you've added enough air. If you see a red light on one tire, dealerships charging to reset it are not necessary - your car will reset itself. After putting on a new tire, the red light may persist until the system recognizes the change, which can take a few days of driving.

I returned my Q50 to Discount Tire for a run-flat tire repair. They quickly reset the car's computer using a handheld electronic device.

My car suddenly veered off by itself after traveling around 250 miles.

This vehicle is in really bad shape.

The Q50 does not have a TPMS button.

You need to drive your car consistently at a speed of over 50mph for about 5 to 10 miles to reset it, so take it on the highway without any stops and starts, just keep it moving.
-
Push the TPMS button and keep holding it until the seat belt light flashes three times.

I believe individuals are making this more difficult than necessary. I own a 2019 vehicle and brought it to the auto shop that fixed the punctured tire. They connected a tool to the car and recalibrated the sensor. Problem solved.

Bart, just two measly bucks? That won't even cover a basic lunch.

I managed to fix the flat tire by using my Snap-on diagnostic scanner.

There are two kinds of tire alerts. The first one signals when the tire is underinflated, and it will reset after some driving. The second alert is for when you drive a run-flat tire too far, triggering the alarm that some are struggling to reset. The dealer can do it, but it's tough to believe that regular folks can't figure it out.
-
In vehicles from 2015 onwards, there is no separate TPMS button. The low tire indicator light should turn off once you add air to the tires. The issue lies with the persistent flat tire warning. Any ideas on how to remove it?
-
If you're telling someone to press the TPMS button, please be more specific about where it is. Just saying "press it" isn't enough. If you don't know where it is located, please refrain from simply stating "press the TPMS button" in response to the question asked.

A scan tool is required to reset the infinity system. The dealership provides this service for no charge. I gave a $2 tip to the service department staff. Avoid spending time trying to reset by using the dashboard buttons and screen.
