Question How to determine which TPMS is bad?

Hello All,

So finally TPMS sensors are on their way out on my G37 with 45k miles on it, which is as good as it gets, I managed to get the car into TPMS diagnostics mode by holding a clip against grounded surface for 6 seconds. Now I have two blinking types: __ - - - - and __ __ - - - - - - - -

I have this manual:



TPMS

I am an IT manager in a global corporation but I spent 1 hour to understand it bu could not get it how to decipher this scheme? What's blinking pattern 15? 22? I think two sensors are on their way out looking at the blinking patter (I also had a tpms light on due to low pressure in my rear LH tire just a few days ago due to it being at 25 psi so that one is still alive).

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

So I figured that out. One long light = first digit, 1 short = second digit. So 21 would be 2 long blinks + 1 short.

OBD Fusion app with the enhanced diagnostics addon will show you individual pressures for each sensor and will show if one sensor isnt working.
Frank from Motorvate DIY made an amazing video on how the process works.
