Reset TPMS Warning By Yourself For FREE!!!

I hate to revive this from the dead, but did anybody find the location for the TPMS plug on the 2011?

Surprisingly enough, I was able to find it on my friends 2012 G sedan quite easily. Not having much luck on my 2011 though.

It's near the OBD/CAN port next to the steering wheel column. May be taped up. See FSM for details.

LOL, step 4

Not having any luck getting my 2009 to go into programming mode. After installing my new wheels with new TPMS the tire light started flashing. Everytime I start the car the light will flash for about 30-45 seconds and then it stays on. I have tried the grounding before turn on and through turn off and then it goes in to a diagnostic mode. I'll give it a couple of more tries and then I'm done. I'll pay someone to program the new sensors, its just not worth doing while it is +100 outside.

did you get the correct tpms? 2009 - 2010 has different ones than the other years.

Yes, the correct year sensors are installed. The problem was the car would not go into programming mode. I could get it in to diagnostic mode but not programming. The sensors are not even in play at that point as they don't transmit a signal until the wheel is rolling at 25mph.

Today I went by the dealer and had them program them for me. They didn't charge all that much compared to the hours that I have been try to get the car to go into programming mode. It wound up being worth the price just to see the reaction to my Z. When I pulled into the service bay a bunch of the mechanics came out to see what was making all of the noise. They were drooling over my Z with the new AG M590 wheels with RE-11s 265F 305R. When I opened the hood and they saw the supercharger they went ballistic. If was fun answering all of the questions. So all in all it was well worth the $50.

I'm still having trouble with step 4. Put your key in the ignition and turn it to the last click before the engine starts.

Step 1: Set the tires to the following pressures,

Tire position Tire pressure (psi)
Front LH (34)
Front RH (31)
Rear RH (29)
Rear LH (26)

Step 2: Locate the TPMS interface plug. This is a white female plug that is attached to the OBD II wire loom under the dash right about where your left knee would be when sitting in the driver's seat. You may have to cut the tape that is holding the TPMS interface plug to the OBD II wire loom.

Step 3: Attach a paper clip or wire into the interface plug.

Step 4: Put your key in the ignition and turn it to the last click before the engine starts. This is the KOEO position (Key On, Engine Off).

Step 5: Tap the end of the paper clip (the end NOT in the interface plug, duh!) on any exposed ground (metal) 5 times.

Step 6: If you completed step 5 then the TPMS warning light will start to slowly flash and you have activated the TPMS relearn process. If it flashes fast or solid that's not right. If yours isn't flashing slowly then check your connections, turn the ignition off and start over at step 4.

Note: if you're having trouble getting it into the relearn mode, try grounding the connector, turn the car on, then turn the car off while still grounding it. Then repeat the above steps.

Step 7: Once you confirm the lights do not stop flashing, step on the clutch/brake and start the car. Do not turn the car to OFF position. Start driving >25mph until the light goes out. It could take as long as ten minutes.

Step 8: The light will quickly come back on due to the low tire pressures. Refill your tires to the correct pressure.

Does this procedure allow the ECU to learn newly installed TPMS' or only reset with previously programmed existing units?

Thanks

nis350 · 05-30-2020, 04:27 PM

this will allow the ecu to learn the compatible sensors (new and old) on your wheels

Perfect, getting new tires mounted and tpms installed today. I'll give it a whirl.

Tractionless · 06-13-2020, 03:24 PM

I feel I had a hard time getting my '10 into learn mode. Brand new OE TPMS' in the fronts. Procedure followed to the Tee.

Is the learn mode flash rate the same as the usual initial low tire pressure warning flash rate?

The time I THINK I got it right the tire pressure warning light was solidly lit upon turning on the ignition, it then went to blink mode after 5 grounding touches. I immediately took the car on a drive and at 10 minutes on the dot the light stopped flashing and went solid.

I'm not certain it was in learn mode because the flash rate was the same as initial low tire pressure warning flash rate AND when my tire pressures are typically low it will flash in that cadence and then go solid. Trying to get some input before I refill the tires upon cooling.

Thanks for any help you can lend on the flash rate speed for learn mode.
