Glad it helped. This TPMS sensor is so primitive, that unfortunately, short of a dealer visit, this is the only method that works.

 

Anyone have a source for replacement sensors other than Infiniti? I tried the Amazon link for Orange Electronics but they are out of stock and no indication if they will ever be available.

 

Great info. Thanks

If you do not mind replacing them every 2-3 years these are $10 used... Free Shipping (WOW)

New is around 50$ at your local discount tire, or ... w/ full rebuild kit $54

I second Ebay

A new one is around $50. You have to use the exact part number though. I believe it's "40700 CD001 " and are the blue sensors. Haven't confirmed if any other Nissan sensors will register with the system.


From what I see, that sensor registers with 2003-2006 G35 models, 2003-
2008 FX models and 2006 M models

 

40700 CD001 and 40700 CD000 work. None of the others are said to be compatible.

 

Hey... So your Infiniti/Nissan dealer will Check TPMS codes for free .

But they want $160 to install one . Get them to scan it and then say I want a loaner... So another day (never go back) you get them done at a tire shop .

 

What's the difference in the two part numbers?

 

Old v new. It's like revised compression rods to old ones...

 

Have you used the used ones before? Is that the lifetime you actually got out of them? For $10 that is a great deal if you can actually get any sort of life out of them.

 

So i actually did some code-reading last night. I figure I'd make a video of it while I did it. I'll have to post it up at some point, along with a screen shot of the codes.

But reading the codes took all of 5 mins and gave me some useful info.

I got Codes 18, 45 and 47.

Code 18 is rear-left tire pressure is too low
Code 45 is transmitter battery voltage low front-left
Code 47 is transmitter battery voltage low rear-right


The code 18 was prob because it was 0 degrees out the day the TPMS light came on with an error. But it also appears as if two of my sensors are getting near the end of their life.

So this tells me I have 2 sensors that I need to replace. I may try and do the reset for now, just to see if I can get any life from them. Would buy me some time until the summer when it's warmer out.


I'll get a vid up in the next couple days. Code reading, and resetting the light is pretty easy if you can get around the primitive method to do it. I think seeing it done in person might get a few guys more comfortable with troubleshooting the TPMS system

 

Anyway, here's a vid on Code reading for the TPMS system.


I'll do one on the re-initializing steps when I actually do it.

 

Epic Thanks!

My recent issue is that it just comes on staring at me orange, no blinking at all...

 

After performing the reset procedure? Assuming you've aired up the tires, and the light still on and solid it's a malfunction indication with the reset procedure.

Basically the registration didn't happen.

It's on page 26 of the FSM I've posted a few links too.

Adjust the air pressure again and try to reset it again.


I actually did this tonight. I did not adjust my pressures or change my failing sensors, and tried the reset for the sake of practice to make a video. At the end of the procedure, a long buzzing sounded out, and now the light is permanently solid, but my pressures are ok.

I also notice you cannot run the codes any more.

So next warm day I'll adjust and try again.


When I did this the first time, it took a few tries to get it to work. Depending on the battery power in my sensors, this may not work for me until I replace them.

 

This is my exact issue. I ran the reset procedure and then it worked fine for 2 days (50 miles) and then 60 seconds of flash. On next cold startup just straight tpms light no codes check holding the button down like usual check :/. Time to unplug the battery .
