Before you get too excited I'll tell you up front that this is not a complete Do It Yourself process. It takes some expensive equipment to complete this process. This process is only needed if sensors new to your Titan are put in your wheels. A siimple tire rotation should not require this process.
1. Locate the TPMS interface plug. This is a white female plug that is attached to the OBD II wire loom under the dash right about where your right knee would be when sitting in the driver's seat. You may have to cut the tape that is holding the TPMS interface plug to the OBD II wire loom.
2. Attach the Nissan TPMS Reset Device or stick a paper clip into the interface plug. If you use the paper clip be sure it is small enough to fit in and don't jam it in there hard.
3. Put your key in the ignition and turn it to the last click before the engine starts. This is the KOEO position (Key On, Engine Off).
4a. If you used the Nissan TPMS Reset Device connect the alligator clip end to any exposed ground (metal). Squeeze the trigger on the device 5 or 6 times within 10 seconds.
4b. If you used a paper clip then tap the end of the paper clip (the end NOT in the interface plug, duh!) on any exposed ground (metal) 5 or 6 times. The bracket that holds the OBD II socket is in just the right position.
4. If you completed step 4a/4b then the TPMS warning light located on the lower left corner of the instrument cluster will start to slowly flash and you have activated the TPMS relearn process. If it flashes fast that's not right. Somehow I got mine to flash really fast. If yours isn't flashing slowly then check your connections, turn the key off and start over at step 3.
5. Using a TPMS Sensor Activation Tool start at the driver's front tire. Initiate the tool. Within about 5 seconds the turn signals/four ways will blink to tell you that the onboard computer has recognized the sensor.
6. Redo step 5 at the passenger's front, passenger's rear and finally the driver's rear. I don't think the order really matters but this appears to be the order that everyone uses.
If you have the navigation system then all four TPMS sensor should show up on the Nav screen with a number for the PSI.
I scoured the Internet for true DIY solutions. These sensor cannot be magnetically initiated, it takes a sensor tool to do it. There were some postings I found that said to lower the PSI down below 30 and then drive for a couple miles. One also suggested that you put the PSI over 50 and then drive. I tried both with no success but this might have been due to my TPMS warning light flashing fast.
The sensor tool referenced in step 5 is very common and all tire shops should have one. What they don't have is the Nissan TPMS Reset tool and the instructions listed above. My local Discount Tire had the Nissan TPMS Reset tool but they didn't know how to use it until I showed them how on my third trip to get this taken care of.
Good luck!
