TPMS Broken???

jarborn1 · 09-23-2009, 10:07 AM

Ok so i already searched and found some good stuff, particularly by BLACKJACK on "re-synching" TPMS after installing aftermarket wheels..

What happened, i was driving to work this morning after putting my vossens on last night (yes the ones i was selling, i have a buyer for my stocks so i figured i'd just keep the vossens) got about half way and the TPMS light started flashing for about a minute or so. Then turned solid. I pulled over and visually checked all 4 wheels, they all looked ok, pushed on them etc to see if any was noticibly different. Got to the gas station right near my job and checked all 4 tires, and they were all at 35psi??

Anyone else have this, and was re-synching what had to be done?

From the manual:

TPMS malfunction :

If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute when the ignition switch is pushed ON. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
For additional information, see “TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.

● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as possible for tire
replacement and/or system resetting.

● Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the proper

operation of the TPMS.

It looks like you need to reset the sensors at the very least.

I called Infiniti and they said that they have to do it with a computer.
