okay guys, I am in a very very bad situation :/
I need help :/
I swapped wheels from my cousin's G37 sedan (2013 model) to my g37 sedan (2012 model) as the tpms sensors were working on his car, they didnt work on mine.
If the sensors were not working on your vehicle before you started, why would you expect sensors from another vehicle to work after you swapped wheels from another vehicle?
You do realize that TPMS sensors need to be properly programmed to each wheel?
You may want to consider doing some research and read the FSM for your vehicle?
Check the 10 Amp fuses with a meter as shown on page WT-13

I thought its normal, anyway, my tpms are of course not reset but i have another issue now.
Of course you do.
That spark was the fuse that blew.
Sparks are not normal. You should have checked and measured any voltage prior to grounding the wire.

i will be taking the car to the dealer, i hope i get this fixed :/ what the hell...
If you're not too comfortable going through fuses on your car, I would recommend against doing any electrical things in the future. You're likely lucky that you only blew a fuse this time, grounding random things could lead to much larger problems in the future.
I have a G37s Coupe 2008 and the sensor on the right rear rim no longer works and needs to be replaced. I have purchased new sensors for this model on ebay and i am just waiting for them to arrive. I have found a shop that will install them for $20 but cannot program them. Can anyone confirm that the above steps of setting the tire pressure for each tire to the specified pressure stated above and then locating the tpms plug and grounding it actually works? If so, where would i locate this tpms plug in the 2008 G38s coupe and would i need to change all four or can i just replace the malfunctioning sensor and perform the relearn?
I just bought a 2013 G37x sedan - traded in my 2003 G35 coupe MT. The dealer put new tires on and the TPMS has been on. Thought this reset would work but I cant find the interface with the white wire, looks like I have a different connector. Did they change the interface for the 2013 or am I looking at the wrong thing? Thanks!
My 2013 has the same looking connector to the one you show, which is different than the one described in the beginning of the thread. There's no way I found to either reset the light or force the car into "relearn" mode.
I've got a set of winter tires and grew tired of the TPMS light glowing. I recently purchased a ATEQ QuickSet to program the car and it worked fine. It took a little futzing around with the computer to figure it out (load the newest drivers after installing the software). You'll have to make a visit or two to a tire place and if you politely ask them to read the TPMS id's on each wheel they'll do it. Have your cell phone handy to take a picture of the TPMS id's as they're scanning each one.

the tpms were working on my cousin's car before we transferred wheels to my car. my tpms gave no issues to my cousin.
... Still flashing
