TPMS Question
Yes, that is correct, the BCM can only recognize one set at a time (4 wheels only).
Disconnecting the battery or resetting the ECU will have no effect on this. I believe that a Consult III is the only way to program TPS.
There is a diagnostic plug under the drivers side dash - a 2 pin plug with only one wire in it - that when grounded causes the TPS light to display any system faults. In the service manual it tells you how to decode the blinks in to the actual problem - if I remember right there are 30+ possibly codes that can cause the light to come on.
It amazes me that with all the improvements that they have made on this car since '03 that the TPS system is as basic as it is. They should have updated the sensors to a version that would transmit acutal PSI insteald of high/low status. Then they could have tied it in to either the navi screen or the driver information center and given the driver something useful - real time monitoring of each tire.
Oh well, something to look forward to in the future!

Even the old 350Z TMPS setup would allow for actual real-time pressure readings.
