Noop, If I can't find a solution I am pulling all this off.

Yeah - I Am Frustrated Too...
Put New 19" Rims On With Reconditioned TPMS Sensors
My Tire Guy "Read" Each Sensor Before Mounting Tires
He Kept Track Of Lft-Frnt, Rt Frnt, Rt Rr, Lft Rr While Installing
Idiot Light Still Came On...
Went To Local "Stealer" To Reprogram - He Said He Can / NP
They Couldn't Read Rt Rr
Went To Tire Guy Next - He Said He Can / NP
He Couldn't Read Lft Frt
All The Rest Were Readable ??? WTF
At Least The Dash Light Is TINY

Makes Me Wonder If Any One Knows How To Do This "Easy Fix"
I Am Thinking About Trying The Paper Clip DIY Next

your reconditioned sensors may not be compatible with the TPMS or the batteries in them are weak.

There are at least two OEM versions AFAIK.

These TPMS were OEM NISSAN parts - Reconditioned / Tested / Certified
And All 4 Tested Good By My Tire Guy While He Was Installing Them
Could It Be The Readers

Ok... so to play dumb, do you remember the model numbers of the sensors you have?

Also, if at first all four sensors were good, now one place isn't able to read one and another place isn't able to read a different sensor, I'd place the blame on either the sensors (or the operators).

Yea - 3rd Attempt At Different "Stealer"
He Confirms Same As Other "Stealer"
Front Left Signal Is Weak - The Light WILL Stay ON
Sooo I "Renamed" This Idiot Light To
Be Careful - Nice Rims Installed

NISSAN OEM TPMS 40700-JA01B Per NISSAN OEM Wheel Instructions

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.
