If you changed sensors and the computer has to learn new TPM sensors there aren't many options other than the dealer, unless you can find a tire shop that has the very latest TPMS tools and software.
If you just need to relearn the sensors that were already on the car you can do that yourself. OTC makes a tool that can do this and I've actually seen it for sale at a local pep-boys.
First, tire pressure must be adjusted according the Nissan specs for relearning the vehicle. This is usually FL – 36 psi, FR – 33 psi, R – 30 psi, LR – 27 psi. The tool connector mates to a connector on the Nissan located behind or near the DLC connector. It is often mounted behind the fuse panel under the dash. The alligator clip must grounded on bare metal. Triggering the tool 5 times within 10 seconds will cause the TPMS warning light to begin blinking. Disconnect the tool and trigger the sensors by either driving the vehicle at a steady speed over 30 mph, or use an RF based TPMS tool like K-Tool’s PST or TIPS tool. This will extinguish the TPMS warning light completing the procedure. Finally, adjust tire pressures accordingly.
If it's a brand new car then YES, absolutely get it fixed, with only 400 miles it's obviously some type of malfunction and should definitely be covered under warranty.

I have the same problem... Have you used this tool? Does it really work?
Thanks
