Makes me want to get working TPMS for my winter wheels.

However, rescanning two sets of sensors twice a year, I just can't pry open my wallet for that. Wish I knew a guy...

 

Another reason why i might not see numbers, is because i dont think my current wheels have tpms sensors. Any easy way to check? 😁

 

Discount tire has one of those TPMS scan tools, so they can check. The issue with them is if they can't find them, they will try to sell you a new set.

 

So after some more driving today i dont get the tpms numbers to populate. Meaning i either dont have the sensors in my wheels or something else is messed up.

Does leaving the config there hurt anything if i cant get it to work? Otherwise i might need to revert the changes.

​​​​​​​Im not from the US so we dont got those, but i might buy a tpms reader myself to check.

 

Yes, if the TPMS sensors are the OEM/factory style, the valve stem has a 12mm metal nut/sleeve on it.
Like this:
If aftermarket, some have that same collar and some don't.

If your TPMS light is off, most likely you have 4 working TPMS sensors.

 

Nope its not on

 

As far as I know, there are no issues with leaving the tire pressure menu enabled without TPMS sensors. It will just show *** for the pressure.

This may be a very long shot, but I have written a plug-in for rtl_433.
This uses a $60 "nooelec RTL-SDR" software defined radio to receive the TPMS signal, decode it and display the TPMS ID and tire pressure.

If there is any interest, I'll post more details.

 

Would it be accurate to say you would like an affordable tool to read and program the BCM for winter and summer TPMS sensors?

I'm working on it

 

I am interested of course....in both this and the device in your post below.

Ill go look at my tire sleeve now to confirm if its the same as the one from amazon.

edit: yeah i am missing the tpms senors i guess, maybe the previous owner removed them since he changed the wheels before selling the car to me (was cheaper with these wheels). Why i dont have an error message? No clue....

 

To my eye, that looks like the normal non-TPMS valve stem.

What year is your G37?
In the US, a TPMS system was required by law in 2007, and 2012 in Europe.
It may be possible your car doesn't have a TPMS system.

 

Yeah im pretty sure its a Normal valve, the boot is rubber and flexible. Year from the car is may 2010. Is there a way to check what options it came with based on vin?

 

Well, yes! And no. Yes, because that would be awesome. But no, because the sensors in my winter wheels (OEM duckfeet) are originals, so... 13 years old? Odds are they've bit the dust anyway. And I'm not going to be buying 4 new TPMS for my winter wheels, since it barely if ever gets driven in the winter anyway.

But keep going, Frank! If this were 10 years ago, I would have LOVED to have a personal scanning device for two sets of TPMS.

 

I contacted the previous owner, he told me my car almost came with all options...except for TPMS and adaptive cruise controle....tough luck

 

I might be able to change your mind...

The TPMS sensors I installed in the spring (video to be out in a few days on how to do this without a tire machine) were from AliExpress and cost $17 Canadian (~$13 USD) each delivered to my door.
So far they work the exact same as my single remaining OEM sensor.

After I've had them for a year, I'll let everyone know if they are still working in a future video.

 

Well... that explains it!
