Could I verify if my TPMS are OEM?

I removed them because they are most likely going to start to go bad soon. When they do go bad, most likely one at a time, i am not going to pay the money to diagnose which one is bad. Then pay again to dismount the tire, install a new sensor, remount and rebalance the tire, and then reprogram for the new sensor. I do not need to pay all that money for the tpms to work in an 8 year old car with 130,000 miles. I can handle monitoring the tire pressure myself. Might as well just get rid of them now since i was getting new tires.
Mine finally died this year at 120K miles. That's 6 years?
OEM replacements are on ebay for about $100. I'm a stickler for things on my car working as they should, so I will buy them, have my tire guy install them when i get new tires this fall, and then reprogram them.
I beleive tire shops can now reprogram TPMS. I don't think it's a dealer only racket these days. I admit i need to look into it a bit more.
I've gone the last 5 months with the light on. Doesn't bother me, but I'd like the system to work as it should. I just check my tires the old fashioned way with a pressure gauge

Ok, so decided to crack open the FSM and have a read.

Page 23.
I located the tpms interface plug under the OBD2 connector. Had to pull the trim panel down to cut it from the harness. Inserted a paper clip, turned the key to on, and grounded the connector. Started blinking codes, and one was 48 indicating the rear drivers side sensor battery way low.
For the hell of it, I lowered the tire pressures to the pressures shown on page 17. I used a stick pressure guage which wasn't all that accurate. I just made sure all 4 pressures were different. I turned the ignition to on and grounded the connector 6 times. The tpms light blinked steadily. So I started the car and went for a drive. Light stopped blinking and stayed off after 2 miles. Wouldn't you know it it worked! I just need to top my tire pressures off in the AM and see if the solid light goes away. (It used to blink 60 seconds then stay solid indicating an error...now it's solid).
Either way, it told me my right rear senso might be an issue.
40700-cd001 is the part number. $30 on eBay. I can replace it and do the reset procedure here to reset the system...I hope.
Lets see if the light goes off in the AM when I fill the tires up to proper pressure

So I left the system the way it was and in spring i used the guide in this thread to reset my system.
It will work for a few years until you will have to change out the sensor in the wheel.
my advise:
1) Buy 4 sensors of Ebay CD001 they are blue in color and made by a company called Schrader. . Although not bullet proof, Schrader oem tpms sensors come with a silver/gray rubber valve stem cap on the outside. I can spot them anywhere now that I got the sensors replaced.
2) Head over to Nissan and they will remove all 4 tpms snesors, replace them and reset the system. Total cost at Nissan over here was $150 for all tires. You will need to get the tech to switch the nuts around the stem on to the ebay ones as they dont come with nuts.
So you pay $250 (parts and labor) at the end of the day and get to stop worrying about that annoying light.
Im like you I love a instrument cluster with no malfunction lights.

But why do that when I can do it myself?
I need new tires this winter. I'll just have my tire friend swap over new OEM sensors i'll buy beforehand ($100) and then do the reset procedure myself again.
One thing about my personality....i'm stubborn. I HATE to pay for something if I can do it myself. You could give me $250 and I'll still wouldn't go to the dealer and prefer to take whatever method gives me the most control. If I had a tire-mounting machine I'd do that myself too.
The fact that I can track down which sensor is failing by grounding the plug, AND do the reset procesure myself if enough of a reason for me to NOT go to the dealer.
Sorry...just how I am

The reset procedure is different from reprogramming.
New sensors need to be programmed initially. Once they've been reprogrammed you can reset the system based on the link I posted above. No tire shop would reprogram the sensors in my area so I had to go to Nissan. Inifiniti was a joke charging $290 for parts and labor per tire.

I think only nissan or Infiniti can reprogram the sensors.

I need new tires in 2 months before my inspection. Maybe i'll be the guinea pig and buy sensors and try it out. No use claiming something unless I can prove it 100%

I don't beleive that's the case. Unfortunately it will take someone actually trying the method with new sensors, but after seeing plenty of guys use the method to swap between different sets of wheels, i think the reset is in fact "ID registration" that the FSM speaks about. It even advised to perform the method after replacement of a transmitter or BCM

Just leaving this here...
Nissan also sells 40700 CD002 TPMS Units in place of the 40700 CD001 TPMS Unit.
This is the same thing, just a newer model. If you see this when you get your TPMS from an online store it is okay because they will register with your car.
Hope this helps a guest down the line!

I still have 3 original sensors in my 10 1/2 year old car.
