all vehicles manufactured after 2006 are federally mandated to have TPMS systems. Most companies put them on prior to 2006, but anything built afterward is required. One light is for low tire pressure, and as stated before, the secondary ! is a fault in the system. There is no reset button for TPMS, they reset after a few miles on their own once they see the required range of psi in the tire.
I'll stick with reliability and being able to put my money where I want to rather than where I need to.

the TPMS light in the G35 would CONSTANTLY turn on intermittently (if that makes sense).
i brought it to the dealer multiple times and they told me its not the sensors. i got aggressive and they finally took all sensors off the wheels and found one to be broken. cool story bro.

Google it.
From what I've read, blown tires happen much more often from under-inflated tires rather than over-inflated. I'm not condoning what they do. Putting my tires over the "safe" psi limit would mind-fuck me. They pull some crazy mpg numbers though, of course with other variables involved.
Regardless, I don't ever push it over 40psi. And the damn light kicked off today, after 200+ miles of it on at the same pressure. :doh:
