TPMS question related to US / EU frequencies

2011 Nismo#91

If you already know how it works why are you asking.

No, not with uprev, not with ecutek, not even with a 10k Snap-On Zeus. But a piece of tape works.

Sorry for the confusion my answer was related to the question do I necessarily need TPMS not whether the dash and TPMS need to match. Bad edit from my side.

I don't think it's required (but you will get a warning light on the dash). You should be able to verify if that is true by reading the functional description in the FSM (link in my sig).

I track my car a great deal. My track rims do not have the TPMS sensors in them. It's not a big deal since I carry a tire pressure gauge with me. I have learned over the years that I do not see the tire pressure amber light on the dash. I check my tire pressure myself just to be safe. You might find a good gauge and have it in the car at all times. It'll be cheaper than the sensor replacement cost alone.

You are correct the 370z us version all years is 315 MHz and the eu versions are 433 MHz. As stated I suspect you would have to swap the receiver, or deal with the light.

I’m curious for those running with light on if this does not allow you to turn off Traction control? On some previous Honda’s I owned when no TPMS is present or a low tire warning goes off the Traction control was default to on and vehicle would not allow you to turn it off. I’ve not had this happen in my 370z or Maxima so I can’t comment specifically on these.

You can buy Autel dual frequency sensors with a programmer then if you are able to sort out receiver issue you could change the MHz to 315 and if it doesn’t work just run the illegal frequency.

When you say it’s illegal, is that an equivalent to FCC in us saying it’s illegal, or is it something that is required for vehicle inspection? Just trying to discern what you mean by illegal.

Thanks for the tip related to the Autel dual freq sensors. I’ll have a look.

When I say illegal I mean 315MHz is not an allowed frequency for consumer products. In Europe we have 433MHz and 868MHz in the States you have 315MHz and 915MHz. Very unlikely to have any real consequences though.

They are probably very similar to the consequences of someone on a plane that still has a small portable electronic device on during take off
