can somebody chime in on this. i been through a couple full-tank fill-ups already with my new wheels (about 500 miles trip count). i did not transfer my TPMS sensors into the new wheels.

so i've been reading that in the forums that the TPMS light is suppose to come on at about 15-50 miles or so, but i still hadn't gotten it.

another detail is that i bought my car pre-owned. i'm beginning to think that the previous owner did something to it. if that is the case then i am very happy.

can anyone chime in on this? has anyone have this happening on your Z?

thanks

 

I believe that it should show as "---" (dashes) with no reading. I use my TPMS (I personally find them highly useful) so I'm not 100%. But, I do know that before my sensors "read" they show "---". Hope that helps.

 

yes i currently have those dashes. so basically no reading, which makes sense.

just wondering about the TPMS warning light, that's what i was wondering about and it hasn't shown up yet.

thanks for the response!

 

When i put my Works on i got the --- and i got the (!) as well.. mine took a few days till they came on

 

and that (!) bugs the shlt out of me
and i have all 4 of them on the new rims
and good psi 35-38 all around

one of my tpms is a little off tho

takes 30min for it to be read

 

haha right when i turn my car on it blinks then just stays on.. i got use to it

 

your case is easy just install them

my case is weird

my 4 of them is all on
rear driver side is off ( reads after 30min )

and the (!) stays on all the time no matter what

and blinking psi from gauge


GRRRR bugs the shlt out of me

 

I would think that your TPMS warning light would be constantly on. But, I have a friend (03 Track) that has never used TPMS and his is the same. The only thing I can think of is that the previous owner disconnected it. The reason why I say that is because there's a beep/noise that goes off too and you did not mention that (assume it's not going off). You may want to try resetting the ECU?

I did find this TSB on the web if you're interested: http://www.*********.com/zwiki/TSB_0...es_Or_Stays_On

 

haha thanks for the response guys. i really don't want to make the tpms warning to come on, im just trying to confirm why this has happened. i really hope that the previous owner disengage it somehow.

about 500 miles so far and i haven't gotten any warning lights with no TPMS

 

wait what? that (!) light is supposed to be on all the time? cause i went to the dealership atleast 5 times for it...

 

The behavior of your TPMS varies depending upon the model year of your Z.

For example, my 2003 Performance model shows “-----“ in the LCD display, and doesn’t show anything (not the “!” indicator light”) on the dash when I mount my winter wheel/tire setup that has no sensors installed.

Later models with TPMS display differently, so it’s obvious that Nissan altered this feature for different year cars.

i have an 08

 

i suppose i lucked out. awesome!

 

I feel the same way (I also "lucked-out" since my TPMS works perfectly when the wheels sensors are in place, and "turns-off" completely when the sensors are not installed). Nice.

I have an '06. When I have my alternate set of wheels on (with Nissan sensors) I get the TPMS warning light constantly until I have the TPMS reset.

 

that is odd as mine is also an 2006, i really think the previous owner has found a way to deal with it.

another odd thing is that before when i had TPMS sensors in the car it lit up to tell me my tires are low in air.

so it works when i want it to and doesn't work when i don't want it to work.

 

*sigh* I guess I'm glad they "fixed" it. The TPMS has been one of the primary reasons I've been unhappy with my $40k car. It's a 2003 and I swapped out the wheels. From that point forward, the dealers have turned me away when I tried to get the sensors reset. Then one or two of them broke (but I've since) replaced them. Anyway, I'm angry at Nissan to go have them use their monopoly on a device that fixes the issue and give them money to wave the device at the wheels for 5 seconds. So, long story short (well not so short), the sensor light ! is always on and everytime I turn the car on it flips the dash computer to the TPMS which is what really ticks me off. The computer should stay where I have it (temp or fuel mileage whatever. Anyway, glad they fixed it in the later models. The 2003 models it's really stupid the way it works.
