Anyone used this TPMS reset tool (Autel MaxiTPMS TS301 ) for your Z?

Minicobra1 · 02-28-2010, 10:10 PM

In for results, getting ready to install some factory Nismo wheels I purchased, the TPMS's are installed on them, so maybe they will sync up and I won't have to worry about it, but just in case, I'm subscribing

BTW: I'm getting the Rims powder coated next week, does the TPMS come off if I unbolt the stem from the front side, or is there some special trick to removing the TPMS/valve stem assembly so that it doesn't get damaged ???

^Yes, it's as simple as loosening the sensor with a deep socket (of course the tire bead needs to be broken to get the internal sensor out but if your rims are getting PC'd you'll have the tires off).

Sorry. But Tbone and I switched wheels, and both TPMS needed to be reset.
Yours will need to be synchronized.

Hey guys,
I do have bad news. I don't know if I was doing something wrong or no, but this tool DID NOT detect my OEM TPMS. I don't know why. I also tried selecting by vehicle make (I think they had up to 08 350Z) and it still didn't detect it. So, I may send this back and try the TireRack one ATEQ TPM QuickSet Reset Tool

I'll keep you guys updated how that one works out.

In for updates.

I called Tire rack. Apparently it Does work now. i also called the company (ateq usa) and they confirmed that it should work. I am going to order it with a new set of sensors on my new wheels and i will test it out once my wheels come.

Awesome Jeff. Keep us posted. I think my new dealer is going to do this for FREE. If he wants to charge me any $, I'll buy this.

Will do. Expect to hear something within the next 2-3 weeks. I really hope it works, i like the idea of spending 135 dollars once, and know that i never have to spend it again, even though thats the cost of like 3 seasons of wheel changes.

Are you referring to the 'change the pressure of each tire to some specific PSI then drive at this speed, change the pressure, drive a figure 8, honk the horn twice, open the trunk' convoluted thing?
