Vehicle with air pressure sensors?How do i go about new wheels?

[HYBRID VL]

i have never owned a vehicle with air pressure sensors in the wheels or valves or where they are.

im wondering do just move them over 2 a new set of wheels from the valve cap or or is there more to it?

Yeah they usually mount under the valve stem. Whether they are moveable or not might depend on the kuntery index of the OEM.

New wheels as in season (Winter/Summer)? If so, no. Moving them that often will destroy them. TPMS valve stems are surprisingly fragile. 

If this is from an old set to a new set of wheels that will remain on the car all year round, then yes you can move them. Depending on the vehicle and year, you may have to reteach them if they change position. This can be done without any special tools on older Nissans (Jumper under dash that you ground out 5x) and does not apply to newer Nissans (They self-learn as you drive).

i dont change tyres to season so it will most probley be just the once.

just if i get a new set of wheels.

Yeah broadly speaking, throw the sensors on new wheels, then tell your car to do a reset/re-learn via the infotainment system. I can't recall if newer BMWs need new sensors (probably since it's "German engineered", but I hope Nissans don't.

They shouldn't require any calibration or other special handling from the tyre shop in order to be transferred to the new tyres. My R35's wheels needed to be replaced, and they were easy to do—they just transferred across!
