When I had my RX8 I would constantly swap wheels/tires (summer/winter) I had tpms on all wheels and I didn't have to take it to the stealership to have it reprogrammed. What we were told was to turn the ignition to ACC and leave it there for 10 mins and then start the car.This procedure then reprograms our tpms. Has anyone tried this yet or want to try it? I'm still waiting on my wheels/tires and if no one tries I will.

 

Interesting I would like to hear on this. Also car is tuck away, too lazy to go out right now

subscribing, this would be great, no stealership involved

 

Hmm would be neat if it worked.

 

I'll try it tomorrow if you want.

 

That won’t work with the Z because Nissan localizes the pressure reading to individual sensors (i.e., all four TPMS sensors deliver independent readings).

And… that’s a better way to do this.

Discount Tire will reprogram your TPMS for free in less than 40 seconds for all 4 wheels.

 

Pls let us know

 

Won't work because the sensors aren't activated until the car is rolling (centrifugal switch). That's where the dealer coming into play, they use a tool to activate them while the car is stationary.

 

^^^ok.

 

They may be able to reset the sensors themselves, but I doubt every DT owns a ConsultII unit that is required to make the computer in the car recognize the sensors' internal ID.

 

Did you try to see if it works?

 

My TPMS light (07 model) was stuck on. All the tires were at correct pressure, but it would not go off. I just left it on acc for 10 minutes and the light went out! If it comes back on, I will post. Thanks for the tip--I hope.

I have driven about 40 miles and the light has not come back on. This is a bonifide fix.
Thanks

Gonna try this later then. Hope it works.

 

Really??????????? OMG, I wish I would have known this earlier.

 

 

Interesting....I'm going to waste 10 minutes today and see if it works.

 

I got new rims and tires Thursday - I also had a different set of TPMS sensors from an 05' Z (guy I bought the rims from didn't need them, sold his Z). I will be trying this later tonight!

I'll let you guys know if this works!
