It should as long as the sensors are infiniti/nissan sensors. it seems to be working for everyone over on Myg37.

Not the first time this has been discovered:
https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...ml#post4994403

That thread ended up dieing off with only the original poster confirming that it worked. I never did try it.

Tool to assist with the job if you don't want to use the paperclip/wire method:

It worked for me! A couple words of advice.

1. Lose the Paperclip. it is much easier to use some thin gauge wire. there is a larger and a smaller hole. i stuck it in the smaller hole (thats what she said LOL)

2. Ground location. I pushed the start button twice and then immediately touched the wire to the metal surrounding the steering column on the firewall 6 times.

3. Be paitent. it took me several tries to get it right. if the light continues to blink for over a minute you should be good to go. DONT TURN OFF THE CAR or it will erase everything and you will have to start over.

4. Find the freeway. The light will never stop blinking if you arent driving over 30mph for an extended time. mine took about 5-7mins of constant driving

5.Make sure your pressures are right. as stupid as it sounds the pressures have to be exact or it wont work.

when it was all said and done 20 mins of my time and some paitence was alot better than getting bent over at the Dealer!!

This TPMS reset procedure is actually described in the factory service manual. However, I don't recall the steps concerning the ECM.

Everything was going according to plan, but after 10 minutes straight of driving, nothing happened (the light now doesn't blink at all - just lights steady). i did the procedure again with the exact same result.

No clue what the issue is.
