TPMS Recalibration issue

chrischhorn · 01-06-2013, 10:08 PM

rediculous from our stand point. not so kuch theirs. $100-$200/sensor. 4 per vehicle. a lot more profit as the sensors probably cost them less then $15 to make.

Any updates Paul?

I've kind of lost track of the conversation here, but I still believe that a set of the early TPMS (pre mid-2010 for lack of a better definition) will not work on a 2011 or newer.

I sure hope you can prove me wrong.

My Z is a 2011. The wheels I am using are from a 2012. Same TPM sensor in both sets of wheels -

Had I been using wheels from a 2009 or a pre-Sept 2010 Z, then the TPM Sensors would have been the earlier type.

The Dealer's computer is apparently not capable of reading the newer type sensors for some reason. It is not my Z, and not the TPM Sensors in the 2012 Wheels that are having an issue. It is the handheld computer at the Dealer that is having the issue. It is not reading ANY of the sensors from the 2012 wheels.

... Hope this clarifies the problem...

I check in with the Dealer tomorrow for an update. Stay tuned.

Still don't understand why you haven't gone by Costco......

Are you going to Eddie Tourelle Nissan on 190?

There is no Costco where Paul lives.

Yep - bought all three of my Nissans there ('05 Titan, '08 Altima and my baby) and I do all my services there, so they tend to do a lot of stuff "complimentary" for me. So, I am more inclined to give them as much leeway as I can.

I did research COSTCO and they do have one apparently downtown New Orleans - but I'd rather drive with my TPMS light on than go there...!

I will be down in Slidell on Saturday for the Z Club Meeting - if things are still hanging with Eddie Tourelle, I'll pass by the Nissan Dealership there see if they can do any better.

Go to post 23 read it and do it so you don't have to fool around waiting for the dealer and spend better time posting in a differant section of the forum,

PaulZ370 · 02-08-2013, 09:52 PM

The dealership's computer was finally updated, and I was called to bring my Z in. They had apparently upgraded the software on it and were able to read a 2012 TPMS sensor on a Z they had on the lot.

Sure enough, it took about 5 minutes to read all four sensors and download them into the Car's Computer. The car accepted the sensors and my TPMS light is now gone from my Dash...

Happy Days are here again...!

Ok, so if you have two sets of rims/tires (one for the track & one for DD) Is it possiable have both sets calibrated the same or do U have to calibrate each set as U use them? I have purchased a set of 13s Nismo rims (no tires yet) as an extra set for Tracking and need a set of TPMs

Only 1 set can be programmed to the BCM at a time.

Not sure there is any need to even have TPMS sensors on Wheels that are for the track use only. Usually when you are on the track, you are mindful of every pound of air you have in your tires, and are constantly checking them before every run. If you have a tire go down, you'll know it without any help from a warning light.

The only TPMS needed is on your "Road" set. You're not going to check those every few miles like you do on your track tires...
