My TPS light is on all the time....it's very annoying. The only way I know to fix it would be to take the dash apart and take the individual light out behind it. I did this on my last car and it worked. Let me know if you find out another way or get this fixed.

or...you could install TPMS sensors in your aftermarket wheels, some companies make band type units if you have a funky valve stem setup.

FYI it's illegal to turn the light off...(not saying that you shouldn't, just telling you how it is). It's a federal law to have the TPMS in every new car, and to have it light up when it thinks there is a problem...

i work a discount tire and when a car with TPMS comes in we take the sensors out and put them in the new wheels. That's prolly what should've been done.

That's absolutely what should have been done. Unless the driver purchased a new set of sensors for the aftermarket wheels so he could have two sets of wheels mounted with tires for a "no fuss" changeover.

Well, besides having the wheels "re-keyed" (for lack of a better term) when they get switched / mounted. The device that does that needs to be cheaper!

Sorry but it's not illegal & their is no federal law!

The new 370Z Nismo has the TPMS as an option....most companies are now "getting away with" these pain in the azz sensors.

I am almost positive every 370 we have at my nissan dealer has these. If they are an option that is something i am un aware of. But as stated besides taking our ur cluster there is no way to turn them off.

And if you wanted to reinstall them into your current wheels i hope you have the old ones. Cause they are 200+ a pc.

Umm, I'm on the Nissan website right now and I'm not seeing anything about TPMS being an option on the Nismo...and furthermore it's listed as a standard safety feature on all Z's...

As for the Law - yes, it is a law.

...the federal government has passed legislation that mandates TPMS on every vehicle under 10,000 lbs GVWR starting September 2007. It’s not an option for consumers who purchase new vehicles after that date, nor is it an option for tire dealers and service providers who install or repair passenger and light truck tires.
