why not just use the valve stem thats on the tpms as the fitting though? just like how it would work on a wheel.

You only need one large container. You drop all four in and pressurize it.

I've wondered about using one of the TPMS senders instead of buying another stem. Only thing I can come up with is the curve of the sender (to match curve of wheel) prevents a good seal. Just a wild guess.

You can if you want to. Dozen ways to do this. You could drill 4 holes or 1 use all the sensors or 1 or none. Doesn't matter, easier to install a stand alone nipple and through the 4 sensors in the pipe.

Point is to pressurize all 4 sensors to get the dash light to go off. Or pull the dash apart and cut the light. Also good write up by Baer383 Reset TPMS Warning By Yourself For FREE!!!

Question

Surfdog, did the light go out after you drove the Z for a block or 2? Or did it stay on? I know if my light is on. I put air in the tire. I have to drive about a block for the light to turn off. Wondering if it a preset distance the car has to go, or a number of wheel revolutions to get the light to turn off?
