My wife drives a little rocket ship that is a 2016 Nissan Juke Nismo RS with a manual shift. It’s basically a factory built racing car with turbos, recaro bucket seats, short shifter, racing brakes and racing summer grade tires. This is the way it came from the factory. She loves it, but living in Pennsylvania summer racing tires don’t work well in the winter. We purchased a set of rims and winter performance tires that get us through the winter. Every time the tire store changes the tire/rims set between winter/summer and summer/winter - the TPMS light goes on. The tire store (Goodyear) does not have the equipment to reset the TPMS and tell us to drive it and it should reset. But it does not and we end up at the dealer - paying to have them reset.. I have asked them how they do it and if I can do the same at home. They refuse to tell us how.
I have found links that show mostly jukes in Europe being reset with a push of a button on the dash - but our version does not have this option or button.
Please help - if you can! I have tried a tpms reset tool I purchased from Amazon but it did not work.

I looked and didn’t find a simple solution. Without the fancy scan tools, I would just live with it. As long as you check the tire pressures manually from time to time, I would just let it be.

I bought a TPMS system from amazon for $25, first for my matrix. It shows all four tires and it super easy to install. I liked it so much I got one for my Lexus GX470. The tpms was dead in the matrix, but even though the Lexus works, it is so basic I don't like it. This one shows all four tires, even the temperature of them. The onlt thing I have had go wrong is some batteries died. It came with extra so no biggie, and they are cheap on amazon.
When I switch to my winter tires, it takes me less than 10 minutes to switch them out. They just run on solar, no issues with it at all.

Or you can keep paying the dealer.
@wolaniuk, Not sure why you did it but posting personal information is a very bad idea here or on any public forum. No one from this site will contact you via phone or email. Posting such information only attracts spammers and scammers. If anyone does contact you that way claiming to be Scotty, or from this site, due to the exposure of your information it would be fraudulent and should be disregarded. (Personal information removed.)
I bought a TPMS tool for my GMC on Amazon for $8. It works great.
What are its capabilities?
@daywalker
Sensor relearn.
For instance, if I rotate my wheels+tires, then the FR,FL,RR,RL info in my DIC becomes incorrect. (it's not smart enough to know where on the vehicle the wheel is).
So, I activate the relearn from my DIC. My manual states I can just let out a bit of air from the tire to activate the sensor in order for the computer to match up the sensor. But this never worked reliably for me. (maybe the batteries are getting low?) Now I just press the button on the tool. This tells the sensor in the wheel to start transmitting, and the TPMS receiver pairs it with the correct indicator in my DIC.
