Manually Registering TPMS

So glad I have a TMPS3 tool at work, I've reset my car's system twice for different wheel packages with new sensors, takes literally 2 minutes. Just learn all 4 sensors to the tool, plug it into the car, and done.
BTW, if anyone locally needs it done, I can program yours if you're willing to swing by the job.

Thank you for posting all this. I'm going to have to give it a try this weekend. I'm sure I'll be back with questions though. The TPS on one tire went out, got it replaced, the AAFES (husband is military and we are overseas) couldn't reset it, sent me to a German Nissan dealership... who after 3 hours ended up wiping out ALL my sensors from the computer... Yep... Then they had the nerve to charge me for it. So I've been extremely frustrated, I went from 3 working ones, to none... FML... So fingers crossed this works! If it wasn't pitch black out I'd go try it right now! Thanks again for taking the time to post!

Did you put the different amount of air in each tire as what is called for by the steps in this diy?

Hoping someone here can help. Spent half my day trying this, no workee.
Gets the light flashing in learn mode no problem, then a series of short beeps, then one looong beep, maybe 10 seconds, as I'm driving. Then back to square one, TPMS lamp on, gauge showing no sensors registering. Drove for a very long time trying different things. After learn mode, leave the wire disconnected while driving/light flashing, right?
When I reconnect it to try that way, the warning lamp flashes randomly, like morse code, but nothing registers. I checked pressures twice, with a digital gauge, to ensure they were proper, so I don't think it's that.
Also, I see the list of codes, do you need a scanner to pull them off the car, or how do I know if/what code is being thrown when the warning lamp is on?
Such an easy job is becomming so frustrating. It's an 03, btw, but I bought the sensors used, I think they were on an 06 Altima.

Ohhh the back pain....Just did this today. Post #52 help me locate the correct harness/TPMS connector. My car actually has a white lead, not green on the harness. I used a lead from my Harbor Freight multimeter, instead of the paper clip / wire.
I ended up doing the reset/re-learn procedure twice. Unfortunately for me, it did not detect the (1) sensor that I had replaced (Orange Electronic SCD001). The (3) OEM sensor came back fine.

How it worked for me
So I tried this for almost a year now, finally with a good connection and a paper clip and could NOT reset my TPMS to learn my front tires again.
What I discovered in a final fix I do believe works...
1) Tire pressure does NOT matter
2) I needed the tool to cause the 5 quick successive flashes, which to me appears to be learning mode for the sensors
2a) I got my tool cheapest on Amazon.com, from OTC 3831 $23.77 with free Super Saver shipping - and I needed the female to female jumper they included.
3) While driving I had to move the computer screen off tire pressure or it did not re-read.
Did five presses, into learn mode and seconds later pressures reset, TPMS clear.
hope this helps someone else.

Thanks Op, this worked perfectly on my 04 track. The previous owner of my Z had after market light weight wheels put on and did not swap the TPS modules over. I found this thread went to Discount Tire and had them put new ones in, naturally they couldn't get them to register.. I told them not to worry about it and they didn't charge labor.. Thanks again.. Oh and BTW tire PSI IS crucial to the process..
