Help, TPMS, OEM 2007 G35x Wheels
So I took my two front wheels off the other day to install my 6k bulbs for my headlights. I drove fine for a little, and about 20 miles later (after) the install, the TPMS flashes for a good minute, and THEN stays solid. Did I do something wrong in taking off the wheels? Before I run to the dealership I wanted to see what you guys had to say about OEM wheels/TPMS issues.

It could be unrelated. Taking the wheels off and putting them on wouldn't change anything.
Have you checked all you tires for pressure?
The only other thing I can think of is your TPMS batteries could be getting low which means you need new TPMS. The batteries are not replaceable

I had a similar but slightly different problem. When I had new front tires mounted my TPMS started acting up after leaving firestone. I took it back and all it was was the TPMS needing to be reset, they said it happens a lot when wheels are removed, all they had to do was take the remote for them and manually reset the them. Free of charge because it was firestones mistake for not doing it originally but i can't imagine it being pricey, literally less than a minute to fix

i suggest just going to a firestone (or similar establishment) and tell them that all you need is a reset, probably much cheaper

awesome, thanks for the suggestion.... so basically any tire shop would have this?...... Im hoping, the DIY doesnt seem to be that much of a pain, only the part of adjusting all four tires to four different PSI levels..

not a problem they should, all it is is this little remote code reader looking deal, i'm pretty sure a DIY is possible but you would need to rent the remote

theres a diy involving a speaker wire or paperclip that plugs into a TPMS female connector apparently in the harness somewhere.... its just Tedious work lol... I called the dealership (have warranty still a 100 bucks deductible though) I will ask them about resetting it first. I guess I'll just try to DIY first. I can't live with any abnormal lights on the dashboard! thats just me tho..

I change my own wheels all the time (summer/winter) and have never concerned myself with anything like that. When I had my 07 G35X I also rotated my own tires (front/back) and the TPMS light never needed resetting.

mmkay, that's good to know. I've never rotated mine since I'm staggered, but I thought I remembered a service writer at Infiniti mentioning it one time when I was in for some warranty work (and he offered to sell me some tires too, you know . . . since dealerships offer such good deals on tires! ); figures that he was FOS.
