Use OEM TPMS there are more than just one call the dealer and get the right ones so you don't have a problem getting them reset.

Some people on this site will tell you aftermarket are OK to use but the majority will tell you to use OEM.

You have to either buy a programmer or have the dealer ship to program it anyway, kind of a waste of money

Yes, really is easier to just get the correct Nissan TPMS sensors (4). These new sensors need to be fitted and the ECU to be reprogrammed by the dealer, with the TPMS's unique ID and position on the vehicle. You can use/try to use aftermarket TPMS's but it really is an easier approach and often a less expense route to just use the correct Nissan TPMS.

By the way, When the TPMS system is fitted at the factory the unique ID numbers of the TPM sensors have to be registered along with their position on the car with the tire pressure monitor ECU. This is also the case if any of the system components are subsequently changed e.g. in the event of changing sensors, replacing the ECU etc. This process requires the activation of the TPMS sensor using low frequency radio and the capture of the UHF data transmitted. This data includes the TPMS ID, the pressure and temperature. In the plants the activation is carried out using large antenna systems on the production line but in the dealerships and tire shops hand tools are used. These tools can also be used to check the TPMS for faults prior to dis-assembly. If a TPMS sensor is changed without re-registering the IDs then the TPMS warning light will turn on and stay on until the ID's are re-registered.

The manufacturer of the Nissan TPMS is Schrader Electronics. They are Sealed units and are not serviceable to include battery. If a sensor proves faulty or is damaged then it will need to be replaced. This requires a new sensor to be fitted and the ECU to be reprogrammed with its unique ID and its position on the vehicle.

The OEM and some of the aftermarket TPMS are made by the same manufacturer. Most wheel and tire shops have the right programmer to register TPMS for you these days. If you had them mount/balance your tires, they might do a free reprogramming when you swap wheels.

Having said that, I just reused my OEM sensors on new wheels. My OEM wheels will be used for the track and I won't be using TPMS on those.
