Programming TPMS yourself
Are there any Nissan or Infiniti techs here? From reading the G37 factory service manual it seems you can wake up and register the tpms sensors with just the kent-more J-45295 service tool. Is this correct? I have found were I can purchase the tool but can't get a price until Monday. I am diy person for everything so I want to be able to swap my wheels and just register them to the car myself. If I buy the tool and it works I was thinking I could do a rental deal for all the people that would want to use it. Like put a deposit down. I will ship it to you and when I get it back I refund you less the shipping and maybe 10 bucks or so. Depending on the cost. That way we all don't have to go to the dealer for something so dumb.

Not free at my dealership either. As the TPMS on our cars is almost completely useless anyway as far as real functionality, I'm not going to pay that to get it working again. I'd rather just find a way to get the light to turn off. I guess I'm going to have to take apart the dash and remove the bulb from behind the indicator as nobody seems to know another way.
For those who actually care about its functionality, I think your idea is great vrquick.

It is strange. 95% of the time, simply swapping the TPMS sensors will not require a reset. In fact, if you swap wheels, for example...some track only wheels...once you return your original wheels to the car, it automatically resyncs and the light goes off. Blackjack's wheel was special...I think he had a defective/funny sensor....at least that is my story and I am sticking by it.

And yes... Kudos to Forged for following through and getting things right for me.

If you figure it out, be sure to post.

I think you are right about the light too, the only way is to pull the bulb.

I think the reason some people have to resynch when they swap is because they don't put the sensor back in the same wheel position that it came from. To work properly when you change wheels, the sensors have to go back in the same position on the car (FR, FL, RR, RL) that they were in before.
