Those look like worm-gear clamps to me. Is it possible that they were over-tightened during original installation?

I can't imagine why Nissan left TPS out of the info display; especially on a car billed as a sports car. The data is already there and programming the display for four more variables shouldn't be that difficult.

IIRC, all four pressures are available in the ECM (or BCM) - you just need an OBD/CAN reader that will access them.

Soooooo The Question Is - Can This Be Turned Off Or Reset DIY?

I Put On 19" Rims And Am Also Dealing With This Light

Tire Guy Said He Can Fix It - Didn't Go There Yet

Dealer Said He Can Fix It - Won't Go There...

Is It Easy To Reset If You Have The "Programmer"

The mount that holds the TPMS is what is breaking. Not the worm clamp.

perhaps you can try the better quality bands. the sensor is so light and don't see why it keep coming off.

I have mine for almost 4 years and have driven the car at 90 without any issues.

Yea - 3rd Attempt At Different "Stealer"
He Confirms Same As Other "Stealer"
Front Left Signal Is Weak - The Light WILL Stay ON

Be Careful - Nice Rims Installed

Installing my esr, i bought 4 brand new napa sensors, had to program the sensor, then i programed the sensor to the car. I did the paper clip method and it worked like a charm.

I Contacted The Online Retailer Of The TPMS With A 60 Day Warranty I Will Try For A Replacement And Make It A Winter Project

Gonna Ignore It And Enjoy The Ride For Now

Finally got around to having the TPMS sensor looked at. The TPS sensor actually broke apart. LOL. I don't drive that hard but I have skills
in breaking these dang things.
