OEM INFINITI QX60 Tire Pressure Sensors

INFINITI QX60 Tire Pressure Sensors 101

The tire pressure sensors on your INFINITI QX60 are a part of the SUV's tire pressure monitoring system -- also known as a TPMS. Standard issue on premium models such as yours, they're extremely helpful when it comes to ensuring that your tires are properly inflated. That, in turn, serves many useful purposes.

What INFINITI QX60 Tire Pressure Sensors Do

First, they reduce excessive tire wear that rises from underinflated tires. That, in turn, helps to prevent accidents that come about due to improperly inflated tires. Lastly, there's the gain in fuel efficiency that you get when you're driving on tires that are inflated to the proper PSI.

Types of INFINITI QX60 Tire Pressure Sensors

There are two types of tire pressure sensors -- direct and indirect. Direct are far more accurate in their readings and don't need to be reset every time you rotate the tires. The indirect type are more affordable, but do require resetting after each tire rotation -- plus, they can't accommodate for tires that are either oversized or undersized since they compute the pressure readings in part based on the tire revolution rates.

How to Spot Faulty Tire Pressure Sensors

If a tire pressure sensor starts to go bad, you could find yourself driving on underinflated tires without warning -- or constantly stopping to double-check the tire pressure due to a false alarm. Signs of trouble include:

• The TPMS warning light comes on, flashes, and then turns off
• Your steering wheel jerks back and forth
• You hear odd noises coming from the wheels
• You notice uneven tire tread wear

If your tires are underinflated, there's a chance you'll wind up ruining your wheels -- leading to even more expensive repair jobs, since rims can cost thousands of dollars. Replacing a bad tire pressure sensor for a fraction of that price is the smarter, more fiscally prudent approach.
