This is the second TPMS sensor that I have had to replace, the first
one was under warranty and was replaced by the local Nissan dealer,
who said the sensor cost was $150 plus installation.
The problem is that the valve STEMs developed a longitudinal crack in
the metal, which allows a small air leak and the TPMS light comes on,
as the onboard software (firmware) system is designed to do, when
the offending tire pressure is reduced.
Since my Versa is now out of warranty, I surfed the net and found an
OE TPMS sensor from oreilly.com for $50 and had it installed and
"programmed" (by a local independent shop) to the onboard BCM. The
FSM shows a specific "tool" that must "wake up" the new sensor and
then all 4 wheel sensors must be reset in a specific order, FL, FR, RR, RL.
The sensor that was just removed, is the factory sensor, which was
made in the UK and has the number 40700 JA02B.
Has anyone here had the "crack" problem with STEMS on the Versa?
