Problems keeping TPS sensors on the bands for aftermarket wheels.
 

I am having a heck of a time keep my TPS sensors on the bands. The bands keep breaking off where the TPS mounts. This is becoming one big pain in the butt. Anybody had the same issues? I just about ready to deal with the TPMS light. I have a tire gauge. LOL

Band? Should just be an actual sensor

Before I dealt with a light, I'd try something like this.

They make TPMS in all sorts of designs, even regular rubber pull through designs. That's what I'm using on my Winter wheels. Not sure what you're dealing with on your wheels that made you go with bands, but not many OEMs other than a few Fords used them that I know of. You may be figuring out why its not a common solution.

I have aftermarket wheels and tpms sensor and my z is fine.

This is what I'm using.

Steelmate, Steelmate Australia & NZ- TPMS, Parking Sensor Specialist, Promata Ph-01, Promata Phone holder

didn't you get Works?

how are you not able to run regular TPMS?

I have SSR MS3 wheels. They are not drilled for the TPS sensor, hence why I am using the bands. For you guys that don't know what I am talking about, they are bands that wrap around the inside of the wheel where you mount the TPS sensors.

Like this.

I used the bands to install the oem tpms in the Work wheels with no issue at all. I don't have any installation detail. The tire shop did the install.

Well I guess they don't like do 90+ steady. LOL

That's a pretty massive oversight from SSR. 2018 and selling wheels that can't fit to Tpms?

Soooooo The Question Is - Can This Be Turned Off Or Reset DIY?

I Put On 19" Rims And Am Also Dealing With This Light

Tire Guy Said He Can Fix It - Didn't Go There Yet

Dealer Said He Can Fix It - Won't Go There...

Is It Easy To Reset If You Have The "Programmer":icon14:

I don't think it is massive oversight, annoyance Yes. Besides, our TPMS system is just an annoyance anyway. It's not like we can see what the pressure is in each wheel. So it is a government mandate I can actually do without.

Those look like worm-gear clamps to me. Is it possible that they were over-tightened during original installation?

I can't imagine why Nissan left TPS out of the info display; especially on a car billed as a sports car. The data is already there and programming the display for four more variables shouldn't be that difficult.

IIRC, all four pressures are available in the ECM (or BCM) - you just need an OBD/CAN reader that will access them.

The mount that holds the TPMS is what is breaking. Not the worm clamp.

perhaps you can try the better quality bands. the sensor is so light and don't see why it keep coming off.

I have mine for almost 4 years and have driven the car at 90 without any issues.
