Need TPMS programmed? Read
 

Discount Tire. That is all.

I took my car into Nissan and they wanted $100 for one TPMS sensor to be programmed. Needless to say, I left without paying that. So I thought maybe Discount Tire can do it. Called them up. They said bring it in and we'll program all of the sensors for free. They pulled out their tool which registered all of the sensors, technically re-registering the old 3 and first time registering the new one. Drove out with a full wallet, no TPMS light, and only 15 minutes of my time.

Long story short, take your sensors to Discount Tire and they'll do it for free or really cheap.

:driving:

no need to re-program unless you bought new ones...and most often it would be the dealer that has the tools to program it as you'd need to have the identification code.

I did have a new one and Discount Tire was able to program it because they have a tool that reads the sensor and detects the code and all of the other information. It's legit.

Good tip. I have my own reset tool, but haven't had the need to reprogram Nissan ones yet. Actually, I don't even have the monitors anymore.

yah, if you bought new ones then they can program it. there's a ID on the module itself and if one knows what it is, they can program it.

im with Mike though... i dont use TPMS on my aftermarket wheels. :p

If it were me, I wouldn't have this at all. I'm old fashioned, it's easy to feel the if the car needs air or visually as well. But I'm just happy I was able to get away with all of this with no money spent.

I reset mine for free with no tools or scanning equipment.

Link to DIY since you know people are gonna ask

Which Houston location did you go to? I need to have mine re-set.

Glad to hear you have the car back. :tup:

I went to the Discount Tire by Willowbrook Mall at 249 and 1960.

Yes this relearns the current sensors. It does not program new ones, but that's a really good DIY if you need to have them relearned.

that's because your bro's a bodyshop pro... (not fair!) :D

I am not vouching for the usefulness in all situations, simply providing a link to the method Baer mentioned, since the mention with no source will inevitably make people curious.

Oh I understood your post CTO :tiphat:

:icon17:

Thanks Houston!

Just got back from Discount Tire on Hwy 59. The reset is free but apparently the sensors on the 2009 Nismo wheels I have don't mate up to the computer on my 2011 Z. My luck. :ugh2:

I'll just wait and replace them with the correct sensors when I replace the tires.

I'm almost positive the sensor I have for sale is 2009-2010 but if I find out that its 2010.5-2012 then I'll let you know.

Thanks!

Actually I'm the body shop pro my bro is just a painter:tiphat:

Actually you are wrong I put brand new sensors on my wheels and used this the home method and it works as advertised.

I didn't post a link b/c I was on my phone @ work, so I'm glad you could pick up the slack.:tiphat:

Then hell yeah!

Any know if the car can recognize two sets of TMPS? I plan on putting TPMS on the Works but want to daily the Sport Rays.

I know it can hold up to at least 5 sensors. I've seen it in the system. Saw 4 of my original sensors and my newly registered one.

Just to clarify, we're saying that the paperclip trick will actually register new sensors, not just reset existing sensors.

So you've got two sets of wheels, a winter/track and a daily driver set. All 8 wheels have OEM TPMS sensors. When you swap sets, you just do the paperclip TPMS trick and the Z re-regsiters the TPMS sensors that are installed? No trip to the dealer or a tire shop needed? Just a paperclip?

If so, that is excellent!

I bought new wheels with brand new tpms and reset them with this method if I were to change to another set I would have to do it again.
