Hey guys, I'm hoping someone here can chime in through experience or whatnot, but I have a question about TPMS.
I just recently purchased a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder SL Tech Package, and I bought aftermarket wheels and winter tires.
Nissan is telling me that if I install the wheels without purchasing Nissan TPMS Sensors, I'll lose my Traction Control, ABS, Navigation and Reverse Camera.
Does anyone know if this is legitimate or not? I'm planning to install the wheels and tires tomorrow and test out for myself, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience/input?

With Acura, you only have to deal with the light being on.
With Nissan, it wouldn't surprise me if they're not operating, it takes out their VDC system as it is linked to everything from ABS, traction control and probably stability assist. Not to mention lane departure or collision warning if they have it now.
They're problem right. But I'm sure google will answer your question.

That would be pretty accurate assumption 40 years ago. But nowadays, there's a lovely governing body called OMVIC which oversees the operations of all new and used car dealerships. Exclusively in Ontario and Alberta of course. But by their standards, it's literally breach of code of ethics that every dealership is bound to thus giving all consumers recourse if they, OMVIC sees fit.
I'm not saying you're wrong about dealers bullshitting or plain lying. It's obviously unavoidable. Just need to take it with a grain of salt so to speak.

• If wheels or tires other than the NISSAN recommended ones are used, the VDC system may not operate properly and the warning warning may flash or illuminate. Sounds like at least the VDC won't operate if the TPMS has issues. I realizing I am just assuming based on what is written here but this isn't extremely technical so I would say it's safe to assume.

I was referring mostly to sales end. If the vehicle had been accidented, stolen..
Glad it worked out for you Eric. 'Accidented'? Really? Let's say it together: "Had been in an accident"... Now repeat it again: "Had been in an accident"... This has been your daily English lesson brought to you by Professor Ponte.

These TPMS things have not been around for THAT long. For most of my life, you knew something was wrong with a tire when you heard or felt it. Also, tire technology was not what it is today. Flat tires were COMMON, yet somehow we still survived.
