Yes... Sorry


You don't actually have to take the tires OFF all the way, just unmount it a bit... Then you can get to the TPMS sensors...

If you don't f with the tire much, you may be able to get away without a rebalance...


If you're going through that trouble... Get the TPMS rebuild kit, new battery, valve stem and O-ring I think


Make sure they don't take you to the cleaners on that... Dealer price is like $15, COSTCO CHARGES $4/EACH

Appreciate the input... I might just run with the TPMS light on rather than go thru all that hassle until I need new tires, then perform all necessary mods to the TPMS...

Here's an additional fact I just thought of...

It was the Dealer's handheld computer that kept stating Wrong TPMS sensor... not necessarily that my Z would not accept the new TPMS sensors... He would put the computer at the TPMS sensor on any of the four tires, press to read the sensor, and it would ring back the "Incorrect TPMS" code. On the handheld computer, there was only one option for the 370Z and it read "370Z 2009+". So, there weren't any difference in model years to choose from on the Dealers computer....

Something's fishy in Denmark....

If you're not in a hurry, I am getting a full setup (tires/wheels/new tpms) installed monday (keeping the stockers for any unforseen problems....flats, rim damage, maybe track specific rubber). Tire guy explained the process to me but it was vague. Says he's one of the few in north Tamps with the CORRECT programmer. I'll ask as many questions as I can and will get back to you.

I feel your pain Paul.

2012 TPMS should work on a 2011 Z. Nissan changed the sensor mid-2010, so when I got my Nismo rims off of a 2009 Z, the TPMS did not register. I had to purchase a set off the forum.

Good luck!

Not true. The TPMS sensors are registered with the BCM (body control module) for every car. That way you do not pick-up sensor signals from other vehicles driving near you and why your car does not recognize the new sensors. I am surprised the dealer did not know this. The dealer should just be able to reflash the BCM and have it register the new TPMS signals. There is no need to remount tires, etc. They have to do this whenever a sensor goes bad or you replace a sensor for whatever reason.

I would either ask the dealer again or find another dealer.

There's gotta be a reason why people selling and buying are anal and lets say the '09s don't work with the '10s

That's what I am thinking... He was doing the recalibration on the sensors wrong somehow. He's supposed to check and let me know. I'll keep everyone posted with what happens.

Thanks for the input....
