How can tell which tpms is bad? - 2008 Nissan Maxima

ok here is the story of TPMS. tire pressure mon. sys.
first question is, did you read the operators guide yet, it does cover this.
read it. what does it tell you. ????
http://www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/
see page 304 too 314 yet? see Premium system with EVICs
?
some 2010 have a display (cluster) upgrade that allows you to
see which of 5 tires failed. (yes, 5) and tells you in clear english
like RR bad. or? spare? called EVIC option.

mine dont have this upgraded display. the base system sucks.

forcing me to buy the tool that does that. (on sale this month at all tire racks, get one, now for $20, dirt cheap( $150 normal)
get a CUB-Pro tool. and win.
eg:
You then point said tool to each valve core.
and it reads 35psi, (read your door jam sticker) on each and the temp.
on MY left front tire , it reads nothing, because the sensor in the stim
is dead. i buy a new stem for $20 and have walmart put it in.
end story.

there is more to this sordid story, but i stop here,

This is a chat room
That info is in your owners manual
or you ask the dealer or whom ever you
have the warranty with

If you car is 4 years or older you might want to replace all 4 sensors. They only last for 4-6 years. If you need to replace them I found a good source fort TPMS. Just pick your year make and model. Keep is simple. That is what I like. http://www.tpmsdirect.com/ Let me know how it all turns out.

You will need to either have the TPMS sensors checked with a TPMS scan tool or use a high end scan tool to check for codes in the TPMS system. the most common problem is a week or dead sensor in the tire. A good TPMS scan tool will tell you if this is the problem.

Yes there is ,and you already had that done & were told
of the issue

Replace the bad TPMS Tire Valve & Stem

Hi, if you see this TPMS icon illuminated, it means your vehicle has a low tire. STOP, and check the inflation pressure in your tires. This warning light will come on if tire pressure in any of your tires falls more than 25% below the recommended inflation pressure (refer to your owners manual, or the tire inflation decal in the glovebox, driver door pillar or gas tank filler cap lid for tire inflation pressure recommendations).
The TPMS warning light should come on for about one second when the ignition key is first turned on for a bulb check. It should then go out if all of the tires are properly inflated. If it does not go out, or it comes on while driving, you have a low tire.
If the TPMS warning light is flashing, it indicates a fault has been detected in the TPMS system that will require further diagnosis. Common faults include a bad tire pressure sensor, a defective keyless entry receiver module, a fault in the TPMS or body control module (BCM), or wiring problems in the keyless entry/TPMS/BCM circuit.

The new sensor I.D.'s will need to be programmed into the TPMS system. You could spend a couple of thousand dollars to get the tools to do this or call around some local shop or the dealer to see what the get for this. Then next summer you get to reprogram them again.

The other option is to pull 2 TPMS sensors out of your summer tires and install them into your winter wheels. Use a TPMS service kit to seal them up. You won't need to reprogram anything if you go this route.

The third option is not to worry about it. The old fashioned way of doing things was to check your tires every couple weeks for proper inflation. If you are in tune with the way your vehicle handles than you should be able to notice the change in the handling characteristics as a tire goes low. After all we survived for 100 years without TPMS.

You either have low tire pressure in a tire
A bad tire pressure sensor in a wheel
Or just need to reset the TPMS,if you rotated your tires.

Go to a shop with a TPMS tool or scanner with TPMS software, and have it reset.

Check the owner's manual for directions on how to reset the TPMS. You may have to deflate to a certain pressure before filling to proper pressure. There may also be a tire learning mode tied into the odometer's trip meter button. Hope this helps.

The TPMS is a pain in the you know what. Have you changed tire sizes? There could be a bad sensor and may need replaced. We continually get problems all the time with the TPMS. We have reset then they reset again.
