Dealing with False Low Tire Pressure Readings in a 2002 Nissan Murano: Possible Sensor Signal Issue
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2002 Nissan Murano is showing false low tire pressure readings despite the tires being properly inflated. The issue is suspected to be related to the tire pressure sensor signal, possibly due to an aging sensor battery or the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) needing a reset or re-programming. It is suggested to have a mechanic check the sensor battery and the TPMS to resolve the issue.

Hey, thanks heaps for the response. You might be onto something with the sensor battery. Apart from the low tire pressure warning, my Murano's been running pretty fine, no rattles or other weird noises. Mileage is at 178563 KM now and the last service was not too long ago. But I'll tell my mechanic to check the sensor battery next time just in case. Cheers for the advice, bud!

Hey, no worries, happy to help! Sounds like your Murano's in good nick despite the mileage. It's possible that because of the lifespan of these sensors, they might just be at the end of their duty cycle, which is around 10 years or so. And that lines up with the age of your car. When your mechanic checks the sensor battery, also remind him to have a look at the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Sometimes, it requires a reset or re-programming especially after tire rotations or replacement. Keep us posted on how it goes. Good luck!

Hello, you're an absolute lifesaver! I didn't realize the sensors had a duty cycle. I'll definitely remind the mechanic to check the TPMS while he's at it. Appreciate you taking the time to help me with this, it's been really helpful. I'll update you once I find out what's up. Thanks again and take care!

Hey there, I totally get your issue. I had a similar thing happen with my 2000 Nissan Pathfinder, so I think I qualify in the 'some experience' category when it comes to this. What my garage did was they swapped out the sensor battery. Man, it cost me a tidy sum of 280 Euro but it fixed the issue quick smart. To give you a better steer on this, could you tell me a bit more about your Murano? Any recent changes, unusual rattles, or anything else out of the ordinary that might help me figure this out? Keep us posted.
