TPMS Broken???

Ok so i already searched and found some good stuff, particularly by BLACKJACK on "re-synching" TPMS after installing aftermarket wheels..

What happened, i was driving to work this morning after putting my vossens on last night (yes the ones i was selling, i have a buyer for my stocks so i figured i'd just keep the vossens) got about half way and the TPMS light started flashing for about a minute or so. Then turned solid. I pulled over and visually checked all 4 wheels, they all looked ok, pushed on them etc to see if any was noticibly different. Got to the gas station right near my job and checked all 4 tires, and they were all at 35psi??

Anyone else have this, and was re-synching what had to be done?

From the manual:

TPMS malfunction :
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute when the ignition switch is pushed ON. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the system checked by an INFINITI dealer.
For additional information, see “TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI dealer as soon as possible for tire
replacement and/or system resetting.
Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the proper

operation of the TPMS.

It looks like you need to reset the sensors at the very least.

I called Infiniti and they said that they have to do it with a computer.
