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

Amazon.com: Autel MaxiTPMS TS301 Diagnostic and Service Tool for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems: Automotive

Well, I go to the dealer twice a year to get my TPMS reset (for winter and summer rims). I was browsing Amazon and stumbled upon this TPMS tool. Reviews are good but I'm just curious to see if anyone here used this on their Z.

thanks.

:woot: I actually bought it! I'll let you guys know :happydance: . Looks like the regular price was $399 but now it's on sale. Should be good.

I believe Nissan uses 315 MHZ.. we will see how this works out :tiphat:

I'll be interested in this one since I have to do the same thing as you, AK. Swap out the RE-11's and stockies.

in for results, this may be a good investment for my shop!

For 400 dollars, it's really not that bad.. considering it will pay itself off!

Hope it works

:eek: ... even better....lol

Based on my research at Tirerack you need an OBDII tool to register new sensors with the car. That tool looks like it just resets existing sensors. You may want to look at something like this

only problem is many manufacturers have specific reset protocols and require specific scanners. i hate tpms and i hope the government follows through on its plan to repeal the law stating new cars have to have them. they are nothing but a problem...

2009Black is correct. The MaxiTPMS® TS301 will retrieve the sensors' ESN's. Then, you need the ATEQ Quickset Device to send them to the ECU.

The unit has been sitting in my room for more than a week now. With all these snow, there's NO WAY I can change my winter rims just yet :(. If the weather DOES get better in the First (or 2nd) week of March, I'll do the Summer Wheels swap and test out this tool. I'll def keep you guys posted. If it doesn't work, I'm looking at the one 2009 black posted. This seems like a new product tirerack is carrying. Def worth the shot. Previous TPMS reset tools were way expansive. :tup: I'll also let you guys know(as vpn said) if you really need both of these to reset the TPMS or just ONE of these is enough for the job.

Thanks for your patience. Here are some pictures
