TPMS question related to US / EU frequencies

Kenwoodturbo

You are correct the 370z us version all years is 315 MHz and the eu versions are 433 MHz. As stated I suspect you would have to swap the receiver, or deal with the light.

I’m curious for those running with light on if this does not allow you to turn off Traction control? On some previous Honda’s I owned when no TPMS is present or a low tire warning goes off the Traction control was default to on and vehicle would not allow you to turn it off. I’ve not had this happen in my 370z or Maxima so I can’t comment specifically on these.

You can buy Autel dual frequency sensors with a programmer then if you are able to sort out receiver issue you could change the MHz to 315 and if it doesn’t work just run the illegal frequency.

When you say it’s illegal, is that an equivalent to FCC in us saying it’s illegal, or is it something that is required for vehicle inspection? Just trying to discern what you mean by illegal.

Thanks for the tip related to the Autel dual freq sensors. I’ll have a look.

When I say illegal I mean 315MHz is not an allowed frequency for consumer products. In Europe we have 433MHz and 868MHz in the States you have 315MHz and 915MHz. Very unlikely to have any real consequences though.

They are probably very similar to the consequences of someone on a plane that still has a small portable electronic device on during take off

I ordered a set of dual frequency Autel sensors. Thanks for the tip Kenwoodturbo!

I will also get an Autel programmer so I can clone the old sensors myself. Probably go for the TS501. It will be useful with other projects I’m sure!

Just wanted to update this thread with the conclusion. The Autel dual frequency tpms sensors worked great and I used the programmer to just clone the old sensor IDs. No TPMS error light and everything works because the ECU thinks it is seeing the old sensors.

Hey, I'm having the same exact issue here in the Netherlands. Where did you buy the dual frequency sensors and do you have any tips/info/instructions on programming them?

Thanks in advance
