Ok, I searched, but could not find anything - actually a Kazillion TPMS posts but none with this specific issue:

I recently purchased a set of OEM wheels (19" Rays) with OEM tires (Bridgestone Potenzas) from one of the Forum Members. They are in mint condition with hardly any tread wear at all - I was told he had 3500 miles on them, and they look it. Real nice, clean, no issues... except once I put them on my Z and took it to the Dealer to Calibrate the TPMS, the handheld computer they were using to recalibrate them kept coming back with "Incorrect TPMS". The original owner's Z is a 2012 6MT Coupe, and mine is a 2011 6MT Coupe. The dealer is going to look into it some more and get back with me, but in the meantime, thought I'd check with the GURU's on the site. I also e-mailed the original owner to see if any work had been done to the TPMS - which I doubt - the wheels and Tires look untouched, but asked just to cover all bases.

I can understand maybe one sensor failing or such, but all four being the "Incorrect TPMS" is kinda strange. I am thinking it's a procedural error on the Dealer's part - not doing something correct with the handheld computer they were using. But...

Anyone with any ideas?
