I picked up some track wheels with tires and tps. Now that I have them mounted, the tps is not working. I'm pretty sure the tps is on the wheels, not 100% sure until I get the old rubbers off. Is there a way to reset the tps?

 

gotta go to the dealer so they can sync the sensors to your car.

 

BTW, can you 'sync' more than 1 set of TPMS sensors to your car?? Anyone know this? Thx.

 

No, the computer only recognizes the ID #s of four sensors - one per wheel.

 

I'm purchasing a used set of TPS. Does the dealership need to know anything in advance about the TPS to synch them i.e. serial #s, etc? Or does the tool they have at the dealership recognize & synch the sensors if you have them already installed on the rims?

 

MC's correct, there's no serial # that the dealer has to know or see. It's all done electronically.

 

Anyone know how much this is?? I'm buying a set of '06 wheels, and i'm sure i'm gonna have the same problem.

 

my local dealership charged me $85 for the reprogramming
wtf!

 

Yeah, I've seen anywhere from free to $100 being quoted. Unfortunately, the dealer is about the only place you can get it done as it requires the Consult II system.

If you are buddies with a service, part guys or manager, you stand a better chance of getting it done for nothing.

 

Amazon has it but appears to be out of them: http://www.amazon.com/Nissan-Consult.../dp/B000HES1TQ

A related question (I think). I did search, but couldn’t find an answer.

I have a 2003 Performance model (and thus have TPS). I bought winter tires for the stock 18” Performance wheels, and now I need to replace these tires. I want to buy a set of 17” wheels with snows for winter driving (I think 17” wheels and more narrow tires will be safer to drive on snow and ice).

My Question: Do I need to equip the new 17” wheel/tire set with TPS since I have a Performance model that “expects” TPS equipped wheels/tires?

Discussion: I thought that I would need to do this (17” wheel/tire set with TPS), but searching on the Forum I find posts that say I do not need to have TPS and other posts that say I do need TPS. I would prefer not to have TPS on the 17” wheel/snow tire arrangement since it appears that would require recalibration each time I switched the snow tires or summer tires (and, that’s twice in a year).

The reason the 17" wheels didn't come with TPS was because of the lack of space for them to fit properly.

There is no requirement to force you to have them. It's a personal preference thing. If you drive around without the sensors, the warning will go off after about 30-45 minutes. Some people are bothered by it, others just ignore it. If you're going to be swapping back and forth, unless the dealer is willing to do it for free, that's going to get expensive. But then again, it might be worth it for the convienence of have the tire pressure readable at all times.

 

Dave,
Thanks for the knowledgeable response. I’m now comfortable with a decision. I’m going to buy the 17” wheel/snow tire package without TPS. Of course I will monitor tire pressures on the snows (and do it the “old fashioned” way with a manual gauge) to be safe, but now I know I can run without TPS in my winter tires. My summer wheel/tire setup is equipped with TPS, and I won’t change that.

Question: “If you drive around without the sensors, the warning will go off after about 30-45 minutes. Some people are bothered by it, others just ignore it.”

How obnoxious is the warning? Is it constant and continual, or does it just beep and then become quiet?

Thanks for help, --Spike

 

I wonder how hard it is to do the "prgramming yourself". I work with RFID(radio frequency identification) technology. It should be relatively easy.

 

On mine, I've never even noticed the beep. I usually have the CD blaring.

There is a yellow warning light in the dash that looks like (!) that will stay on until you turn the car off again. Then, after another 30-45 minutes of driving it will come back on.
