FAQ - Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Does this mean that I am no longer restricted to only a Nissan dealer in order to have the TPMS's on my spare winter wheels/tires reprogrammed using "CONSULT"

At least according to this website, you should be able to use the Wheelrite Tech 400 to reprogram the TPMS sensors:

The Nissan range of cars unlike most vehicles made in North America do not have an inbuilt relearn mode to enable the vehicles to relearn the TPMS IDs when a TPMS repair tool is used to activate the sensor. It is important therefore to have access to a Bartec Wheelrite TECH400 tool which is able to diagnose Nissan TPMS issues and also has an extra interface to the vehicle OBDII/CANbus to communicate with the vehicle Engine Control Unit (ECU) and download the TPMS data. The Wheelrite TECH400 has this feature.

Any chance a TPMS sensor from any of these years will work on my 2012 Rogue

Nissan has been using the same Schrader Bridgeport TPMS sensors since 2008. You should be able to interchange from any model year.

Thanks, though the funny thing is that I am finding several part# variations for what appears to be the same Schrader TPMS's (other than color) that claim to be for the Rogue (and most other Nissans) - generally #40700-JA01A and B. The B is generally only listed as being compatible with 2009 and earlier, while the A generally only adds 2010 to the list (why not 2011?). OTOH I've found non-OEM versions (i.e., by "ORO-TEK") that claim that they work with 2008 to 2011 (which tends to support your statement...and should also mean that any'll work on my 2012).

Not sure why there's so much chaos concerning this "which TPMS will work with what car" issue (perhaps it's the typical OEM part numbering issue which leads to the same item having different part#'s depending on what car/year it is for...or maybe some have stems at different angles to fit different wheels)?

Anyway, I am inclined to run with your knowledge (along with a similar experience with my RAV4...though there was a 20deg and 40deg version to make things confusing), ignore this chaos, and buy any Schrader TPMS that claims to work with the Rogue (or any 2008+ Altima, Maxima, etc.).

Will keep my fingers crossed since the cost savings for these on eBay is huge!

Thanks Again!

If anyone wants to spend the money, you can buy a snap-on tpms3 and it reprograms the sensors. Expensive yes, but a great tool, it cost me $1400. The only thing bad on nissan tpms sensors is the grommets and nuts. They should be replaced every 3 to 5 years. I just a had a customer with an 08 rogue leaking air. The grommets were leaking in some of the tires. Also, if you dont take care of your wheels, they get a lot of corrosion and then the nuts are so badly seized its breaks the tpms. So for maintenance purposes, you should replace the grommets and nuts. Hope this info helps anyone.

Some info that saved me A LOT of money; TPMS ARE cross compatible. I got one on eBay for $50. Then Monro installed it and reset it for $20!! At the dealer it would have been about $150 with parts and labor. The light stopped shining and everything works well!

Thank you Philipa

I've just returned to the Nissan family with a 2009 Rogue to replace her 2002 Honda Civic. On second day the TPMS indicator came on and after a little detective work I discovered that previous owner had used some 'fix-a-flat' on one tire and the valve and probably sensor are shot. I pulled the Schfraeder valve out and NO air escaped.
I got a tire gauge to very slowly register about 26 lbs.
Glad I should be able to go to my regular tire dealer for servicing this. Local DIY auto parts dealer showed me a valve ONLY for about $7 but it appears the sensor is gummed up as i couldn't add any air.
I'm not convinced of the value of this TPMS system so would it be feasible to somehow "cleanse" whatever goo is preventing me from inflating the tire to match the other three? Seems like I read that brake cleaner might do the trick, but would it be necessary to demount the tire from the rim?

Quoting an ASE mechanic "Any tire sealant will soften the rubber components and corrode TPMS sensors. Don't use them if you have TPMS unless you are prepared to replace them. Some sealants will also ruin the aluminum rims."
