but the tpms light does not come on, i guess its a good thing? but im wondering why it doesnt come on anyway

 

The warning comes on after about 30 minutes of driving.

 

I have an 2003 Touring Z that came with the 7 spoke, 17" wheels and it did not come with the TPMS system. I recently got some new track wheels with the sensors in them. Can my Z be programed to read the sensors?

 

yes they can but you would need to bring it to a nissan dealer and ask them to do it. its real quick.

 

Only if his car supports TPMS - if it's an AT model that came with 17" wheels, then it doesn't have TPMS support.

 

woops...didn't see that.. must have read over that detail.

 

Any models with 17" wheels didn't include TPMS.

 

wait..wait...03 touring has tpms..were they not stock tires? is there a little (!) sign thats yellow?

 

The M/T touring has TPMS, the A/T does not. It's the wheels, not the car that matters. Any Z that came with 17" wheels never had TPMS. If you notice, the 07 models all came with TPMS and none offered 17" wheels anymore.

 

I have an 04 Roadster 6MT that came with 18" wheels, how would I know that it had tpms? I replaced the original wheels with after market and nothing on the dash illuminated. If I had sensors installed in the wheels could I have it enabled?

 

No

 

First off, you should have the tire pressures shown in the multi-display. With your car off, turn the ignition on but don't start it. All lights should illuminate and you should see the low pressure warning light (!) displayed.

 

I went to the local dealer and after waiting for about an hour for my car to be looked at, a 20 year old kid told me that it was not possible for my car to get the TPMS programmed. I was not convinced, but I did not have any more time to stay and talk with another service guy. I don’t mean to sound ignorant, but I do not know the difference between an M/T and an A/T. I found my window sticker and all it says is “2003 350Z Touring”. My wheels were stock and there is no (!) yellow sign. How can I find out if I have an M/T or an A/T?

 

MT = manual transmission. AT = automatic transmission.

 

wow
