I put 2005 350z 18's on my car for winter and my tire pressure sensor light is on. It dindt come on foir the first few days though. My tire pressure is fine so is there some way to reset that? Whenever I start the car the light flashes at first and then it eventually stays on constant

 

unplug battery for a while? haha ... or just dealerize.

 

take it to the dealer, they should reset it for u at no cost..

 

did you swap the sensors from your old wheels?

 

what's going on here? winter is over... i just changed back to my summer's. did u just swap back to your summer's and now the light is coming on? don't tell me that u just put winter's on now... doesn't make any sense to me. please explain some more.

 

there are two ways to reset, one easier but takes longer and the other is quicker but far more tricky.

the easy way is to just unplug the battery and let her sit for x amount of time (i have never done that method, so i dont know the exact time span she needs to sit for)

my preferred method is as follows. Timing is key on these moves, or else it wont work:

1)insert key and turn to "ON" (NOT ignition)
2)wait 3 seconds
3)fully depress, then release the gas pedal in a quick manner FIVE TIMES. You must do this in under 5 seconds.
4)wait exactly 7 seconds
5)fully depress and HOLD the gas pedal for 10 seconds

if the above is done properly, such things as your check engine light will start flashing (while you are holding the gas pedal). if not, turn the ignition to OFF, wait, then try again. If yes:

6)fully release the pedal for 10 seconds. the lights will continue to blink.
7)fully depress and hold the pedal for 7 seconds. After that you can release, turn the ignition to OFF, wait a few, then go ahead and turn the engine over. Any error light (Check Engine, Tire Pressure, etc) that was on should be off.

Hope this helped. Ive had to do this for my Check Engine Light several times b/c the gas cap was not screwed on properly. Therefore I know for a fact that the method above works. But, if you have time you can just disconnect the battery and let her sit overnight. whatever works for you.

 

only way to fix the problem is have the dealer reprogram all the sensors, might charge you though

 

^ is that true??? I just got sensors to put into my aftermarket wheels... Everyone is saying an ECU reset will do it, but now someone says only the dealer can do it through reprogramming???

Can someone clarify this definitively please! Anyone with first hand experience swapping wheels w/ different or new OEM TPM sensors'. Thanks.
