Car: 07 G35 Coupe 6MT

Post

The TPMS on my 07 G35 coupe 6MT had been lit since last Christmas, it was triggered by a cold spell. Checked pressure of all 4 tires, all ok. So I simply ignore it until the other day when I had nothing better to do, I decided to do something about it, googled around and found a nice writeup about how to reset it on another web site. It's for G37 though but I didn't see any reason the TPMS on G37 can differ than G35, so I tried it on my G35 and, succeed. Here's the details,

1) look for the white plug which plugs into nothing, with only one white wire. This was the hardest part of the job. The plug deeply hided behind the engine hood pull-open handle, with its wire folded, buried among other wires above a white box of the size of cigarette. I dug around for an hour without luck, just about to give up, then wanted to try it for last time, ah ha there it is.

inserted a wire with both ends stripped into the hole that has a silver narrow metal strip, made sure they make a good contact. Clamped a wire to any bare body metal (ground)

Then I set the tire pressure as below:

front LH 34 PSI
front RH 31
rear RH 29
rear LH 26

While watching the TPMS light on the dash turned the key to "ON", the last position before cranking the engine. Immediately tapped two wire 6 times ( grounded the plug 6 times) the light supposes blinks none stop, indicated the TPMS went into learning mode, if it didn't then I would have check the wire contacts. It failed until I clamped the wire on the bolt behind the pedal as in the pic, before then the good ground point selected wasn't really directly contacts the body, I guess.

Then I started the car (DO NOT turn the key off after the TPMS starts blinking) The light stopped blinking, became lit solidly. After driven faster 25 MPH for about 5 min the light went off ( some people took up 10 min per the write up).

Then soon , maybe 20 some sec later the light came back on, because it detected the pressure was low. After inflated the all tires to normal pressure the light went off.

I hope it never came back on.
