What was the final verdict on this? I'm looking at some wheels off a 350Z that have TPMS.

I am 95% sure you will have to get them re-programed. Other then that I dont see an issue ;)!

Have been through this. You have to pair the new TPMS with your ECU, which subsequently unpairs the TPMS of the wheels you're removing. Works like a champ from there.

Is that something you can do in your driveway?

I only know how to do it by having the dealer do it with a CONSULT III. Don't know any other ways to get around it.

you have to use a specialized/nissan scan tool or tpms programer, it's not something you can simply do

edit; i guess try the next post ;)!

Good sir.

Now, figure out a way to turn off the light while running aftermarket rims without flashing the ECU. :biggrin:

Could you rewrite the instructions so they make better sense and not be cut off?


Thanks :)
