TPMS Recalibration issue

DEpointfive0

Welllllllll... Keep us posted, I'm just going off the info I know to be true. And only ASSuming about the '13 part

DE, I think its actually only the sensor on the vehicle itself that has changed to allow it for the beep and the warning. We had a 2013 come in for a flat-repair and the sensor looked the same as my sensors. (used the same tpms rebuild kit.) But like he said, drop by Costco and see if they can reset for you. Our handheld scanners at Costco read the 2013 sensors just fine. As our scanners, it shows information as 2009+ 370z. There is no seperate option for the 2 different sensor years as is. If not, the error is in the sensor not the car itself. Probably a dead battery. They only last 3-5 years. New sensors in the new cars are claimed to only lasting 1-3 years since the car companies arent making enough on them.

The Wheels just came off a 2012, and all four batteries can't be dead at the same time. The odds are pretty astronomical.

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......

There is no Costco where Paul lives.

Thanks!

Are you going to Eddie Tourelle Nissan on 190?

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.
