OBD II scanner/reader

I bought this: Amazon.com: Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN Diagnostic Scan Tool for OBDII Vehicles: Automotive And it works to check and clear codes w/o issue. Quick, concise.

Any idea if this will work to reset the TMPS after a wheel swap?

I'm not sure, I had never tried that.

I purchased new TPMS' put in on my new wheels so I didn't have to deal with all of that.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I bought this code reader last week and tried using it today for the first time, and it didn't work. I plugged it in, turned the ignition to on (without starting the car), and nothing.

Am I doing something wrong? I know the unit works, because I plugged it into my Jeep and it scanned everything perfectly.

IIRC, the engine needs to be running. But it's been a while since I used a scanner on a 370Z.

Is the scanner not powering up? If not you need to check the power supply to the OBD connector.

Correct, the unit does not turn on at all. Is there any easy way to check that it's getting power? I don't have a voltmeter.

A simple test light will work.According to ALLDATA it gets power from the battery power fuse number 6.

I had the same issue when I bought the PLX, I changed the fuse on the Z and it worked. The fuse box is located near dead pedal foot rest on driver side floor.
