tpms

[f2023]

Sorry if this has been asked befoe, but new to the forum and the search didn't show anything. I have a 2006 and just bought a new set of wheels and tires off an internet site. These are the same that came on my 2006.The problem is that the TPS did not work when I mounted the new wheels.Does something have to be reset or do I need to take the ones out of my old wheels? Thanks for any help, and sorry if it is a stupid question. I just drive the car.Ted

does ur new wheels have a tps installed in them?

[Kimmi]

I hate the TPS! If you want to run any sort of low pressure it beeps like a mother %&$# at you

Just saying...

When I bought wheels you have to have TPS installed on them, or the sensors have to be "re built" for them to work. That's all I heard about them. Other than the fact that they annoy a lot of people.

[xjmxstac]

It beeps? Really? I thought it just lit up on the cluster. Anyways, OP i believe that the new tpms needs to get registered to your car's system. I believe your local auto place can do it for a fee.

False. You can buy wheels & tires and not have the sensors installed. I just got a set of winter rims & blizzacks from Big O & they didn't force the TPMS on me. The light blinks for about a minute & stays on, no beeping. Nothing a sharpie can't fix.

Haha! that's what i did to cover the airbag icon on my truck.

[f2023]

yes, they are the same wheels.

I know you can buy wheels without them, my Nismos don't have them. I meant if you want them, they have to be installed.. oops!

I prefer not to have them

[f2023]

Thanks for all the info. I guess I didn't make it clear. I like the tps and would like to see it work again with the new Wheels. I'm sure these wheels have tps. But I am not getting anyting. i.e. when I check it look like no pressure in the tires. It is not blinking, beeping or any other nasty thing.Thanks again, Ted

The most important thing to do when you have wheels with the TPMS is that they have to go back onto the car from the exact previous location...ie. right front to right front side, right rear to right rear side.If not...then they have to be re-programed from your dealer with an appox. cost of $90 + $$$.

For me, I don't need or want the TPMS!

thanks for the info. I like the feature and will take the car and have it reprogrammed.Ted

Umm...this is wrong. So by your "information" I have to pay $90 every time I rotate my tires? I think not sir...

As long as you use the same 4 sensors on the vehicle, they all work. It's when you get different sensors that they need to be programmed into the system.

if your gauge reads the pressure for each individual tire (like mine does) they can be put on in the wrong location and will need reprogrammed like sluggo mentioned... not sure about the price, but its totally possible with the exact same sensors the car came with... (ive got this exact problem right now in my car using the sensors that worked fine stock, now reading to the wrong wheels)

Thanks! _b.jaye_ I know exactly what I'm talkin' about.As far as the price...that's a very close appox. from the average dealer.

This marlin29311 dosen't even own a Z!

I don't need a Z to talk about TPMS systems. In terms of general TPMS technology, you don't need to reprogram the sensors every time you get a rotation. Your post generalized TPMS and made it seem to someone that they need to get a reprogramming if they rotate their wheels, which is not the case. In the instance with a system that reads out on specific tire pressure at a ceritan location, then yes, you would need to do so.

Hey Dude....read the first post? Do you understand English?There's nothing about tire rotation....the wheels came from another vehicle...BTW as far as owning a Z I was referring to this forum.

The forum is Nico club - a forum for all nissan and infiniti owners.

I hang out in the Z forum because I love the Z, and had it been a practical car for me at this time, I would have bought it over my a/c.

Yo no comprendo ingles. Puede ayudarme?

My comment is a hybrid of the original post and yours. If the OP uses the original sensors from his old wheels, they will all work without needing to be reprogrammed, and they can go on any position on the car - thus meaning that if you get your wheels rotated you don't need to have a reprogram from the dealer. If the OP is using a system that tells tire pressure at each wheel location, the OP will need to put the sensors at the correct location, or will otherwise need to have the sensors programmed to the new location.

Your last line is what I'm talking about. The 350Z TPS uses the system telling tire pressure at each wheel. If you owned a 350Z you would know that! End of discussion. Bottom line...his sensors needs to be re-programmed!

I'm well aware of the fact that the Z uses this system - Infiniti's use it as well. His question didn't state that the sensors weren't reading correctly at each wheel position, he said that they didn't work period. In this instance, if the OP took the TPMS sensor off of the original wheel and installed it to the new wheel, it would work fine - the case of putting it on the correct wheel placement is ancillary to that point - if the OP wants that information, the OP should have the sensors placed on the correct wheel area - if the OP wants the TPMS light to turn off, the sensors just need to be placed on.

If the OP is using new sensors, those must all be programmed onto the system at which point they can be assigned to each specific wheel location.

Yes, they have to be re-set at the dealer.

You can use the sensors off your old wheels in the new ones (you have to remove the tire and remount to do this) if you want without having to reprogram, otherwise, if you have new TPMS sensors, you have to have them programmed by the dealer. If you don't have any, the light will stay on forever.

Please let us all know what your dealer did, it would be greatly appreciated!

Please tell me that you were kidding about the sharpie

[xjmxstac]

Please tell me that you were kidding about the sharpie

You kidding me? Sharpies have a lot of automotive uses...besides blacking out the tpms icon in the gauge cluster, you can also black out that annoying low fuel light...

[RCAnismo]

I don't think I could bring myself to sharpie my dash..... I'm living with the light on for now.

[awtoys]

yes, they are the same wheels.

LOL are you kidding me? LOL good try though

Its in the FSM in the WT section (in the 2003 FSM it starts on page WT23).

Technically, a dealer doesn't have to do it. But the dealer does have access to the necessary programming tool (Consult II Scanner) that most users will never buy as its retails somewhere in the area of $6000.

[f2023]

I'm going to live with the light on for now. I may go to the dealer this summer and see it they will turn it off.Thanks, for all the input. Ted

p.s. my next topic will be the 6 speed, what a pos. My 45 year old vet shifts better.
