Title: Nissan Primera
Post by: Andy B on 27 January 2009, 20:33:21

I know!!!  ::) But a work mate has just bought one ......  :-/ Honest!!!  ;)
He's had some tyres replaced and now the car is complaining that it can't detect the low tyre pressure warning sensors. The hand book unsurprisingly says to return the car to the nearest Datsun Nissan dealer to have the system reset.
Anyone any ideas how to do yourself? Can it be done without a Nissan type Tech II?  :-/  :-/  :y  :y  :y

And if he had them done at a "bodge it and Scarper" or Can't fit Fitters then the sensors probably got trashed when the tyres were taken off the bead! :o :o ::) ::)

Thanks. It looks as though he'll have to put his hand in his pocket again then.

he says they're fastened to the inside of the rim in the 'well'. I believe it Renault that have them in  the valve.

Pretty sure they're like every other one i've ever seen where it's basically a huge valve - well it is on GM and Ford family (Landrover, Jag, etc) cars.  They have to be bolted in somewhere - and the valve hole is the only place i've seen them (both Siemens VDO and Schrader ones).

If removal is a bit heavy handed (or even fitting..) they they're scrap
