Activate all wheel transmitters. See Wheel Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation Procedure on page 4. Activate LF wheel transmitter. See Wheel Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation Procedure on page 4. Activate RF wheel transmitter. See Wheel Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation Procedure on page 4. Activate RR wheel transmitter. See Wheel Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation Procedure on page 4. Activate LR wheel transmitter. See Wheel Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation Procedure on page 4. Check storage fuse, see Figure 2, page 4. Install or replace (if needed). Check TPMS ECU connector. Re-connect if needed. Perform CONSULT Self Diagnosis:

Parking Lights

Parking lights do NOT flash 2 times after transmitter activation.

1. Tool J-45295 battery low. 2. Ignition OFF during activation. 3. Tool J-45295 not positioned correctly. 4. Transmitters already activated

Perform ID Registration if needed 1. Install new battery. 2. Make sure ignition is ON during activation. 3. Position tool correctly during activation (see Figure 4). 4. None.

NOTE: If more than one wheel transmitter is NOT activated, the blinking patterns for those wheels will combine. (Example: one blink/OFF/three blinks = LF and RR transmitters are not activated.)
2/6

CAUTION (for Pathfinder & Murano ONLY): Do NOT remove the Long Term Storage Fuse with the ignition key in the ON position. If the storage fuse is removed with the ignition key ON, the Wheel Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation procedure must be done.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I.D. Registration: This process informs the control unit of each wheel transmitters location (i.e., LF, RF, RR, and LR). Reason: The control unit must know the location of each transmitter in order to correctly relay pressure information about each tire/wheel.

Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation: Turns on (Wakes Up) each wheel transmitter allowing it to send pressure information to the control unit.

The following chart shows some conditions, which may require I.D. Registration and/or Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation.
Condition If a TPMS control unit is replaced Action Perform I.D. Registration using CONSULT-II. See the Service Manual for more information. Perform I.D. Registration using CONSULT-II. See the Service Manual for more information. Perform Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation using Tool #J-45295.

If a wheel transmitter is replaced

TPMS warning light is blinking or stays ON

See TPMS Diagnostic Chart (page 2) for details. Note: I.D. Registration cannot be performed when the TPMS warning light is blinking or ON (in some cases). See TPMS Diagnostic Chart.

NOTES: 1) In the case of a low tire pressure condition, the TPMS warning light will come on. To turn the light OFF, do the following: Re-set the tire pressure to the correct setting. Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH for several minutes.

2) The wheel transmitters send updated pressure information to the control unit as follows: Vehicle parked with ignition switch ON Updated pressure information sent every hour. * Vehicle driven over 25 MPH Updated pressure information sent every minute. Vehicle parked with ignition switch OFF No pressure information sent to control unit. CONSULT-II will indicate 0* pressure. To update pressure information quicker, drive the vehicle over 25 MPH for a few minutes.

SERVICE PROCEDURE Wheel Transmitter (Wake Up) Activation Procedure. NOTE: This procedure must be performed using the TPMS Initialization Tool #J-45295.

BEFORE YOU START: IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN PERFROMING THIS ACTIVATION PROCEDURE: Do NOT remove the Long Term Storage Fuse (also known as the Electronic Parts Fuse). Do NOT turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If you do either of the above, all four wheel transponders will have to be re-activated.

1. Make sure the batteries in the TPMS Initialization Tool #J-45295 are in good, strong condition. If needed, use a tester to check battery condition.
