When you added larger rims you've also added more weight. you could be setting the electronic censers in to overdrive plus make sure you double check that the tires are not rubbing a wire loom. if the rim offset is wrong you could be causing bearing tilt witch will make park censer to trigger.

Check this link for all Nissan warning lights

Nissan Altima Dashboard Warning Lights and Meanings

The Nissan Master Warning Light, Explained
Basically, all the master warning light does is let you know that there's some other warning you should pay attention to. According to the 2015 Nissan Altima owner's manual, when the ignition is in the ON position, the master warning light will turn on with any of the following warnings:
-Loose fuel cap
-Door open
-Trunk open
-Low fuel
-Low windshield wiper fluid
-Check tire pressure warning
-No key detected (happens if the Nissan Intelligent Key is left outside the vehicle)
-Release parking brake (this should occur any time you start the car after setting the parking brake)
If your Master Warning Light comes on, please contact your local Nissan Dealer

I have a 2011 nissian altima and when i push on break the break light goes off but when i let off break light comes on what does it mean?

check your brake light switch on the brake pedal, more than likely thats where the problem is, when pedal is push down, the plunger on the switch is released to turn lights on, when you let up off the pedal the plunger gets push in by the pedal to wich its mounted, which inturn shuts the lights off. do you see how its suppost to work ? thats the only switch for your brakes , soooo yours is backwards correct ? must need re-mounted in its proper location........... OK

Why does the parking break light stay on in my 97 Olds Cutlas Supreme. I have checked the level of the break fluid and it is full. I did have new break lines put in last year. I did have to slam on my...

Apply the parking brake with the vehicle parked, engine turned off and transmission in Park. Release the parking brake completely, then apply it again, and ensure that it is fully released. Turn the ignition on, check to see if the Parking brake warning light is on. If it is NOT on, apply the parking brake and check to see if the warning light comes on. If the light come ON wihen the Parking brake is applied,.....fully release the parking brake and check if the warning light goes OFF. If it does NOT go off, then an adjustment is needed at the parking brake switch.

Parking break light is on & Chimming When P. Break is released

On your parking brake assembly is a single wire switch. You can unplug it, but you will have to remember not to drive with it set. To replace the switch the whole assembly will have to come out. The switch is about $20 and labor should run about two hours. Good Luck
