Can a Nissan tire pressure light go out?

What does a low tire pressure warning light mean?
The wheel sensor requires replacing (in an Indirect Tire Pressure Management System). In an Indirect system, if the wheel sensor has gone bad, the ABS Warning Light also illuminates. In each case, it means the vehicle needs to go to a certified mechanic. The mechanic can detect and patch the leak or replace the tire.
What’s the best way to reset a low tire pressure light?

Why does the tire pressure light keep flashing?
On some vehicles, the TPMS module communicates this information to the driver using a TPMS warning light, while others may include a direct pressure reading in the instrument cluster or information display. There are at least a couple reasons why the TPMS warning light will flash, as well as deliver other messages to the information display.
What happens to a car with an under inflated tire?
Under-inflated tires wear out faster, force the vehicle to use more fuel, hydroplane more readily, and don’t grip the road as well. Most critically, under-inflated tires can lose traction in turns and on braking, which can make everyday driving dangerous.
