I don't know about the 2013 Leaf, but the 2012 does NOT auto learn new tires. A lot of people initially think it does, because it takes a LONG time to produce a warning condition (flashing the TPMS light when the car is first turned on). For me, it would take 2 to three DAYS (of normal...

There doesn't seem to be a way to re-program the TPMS system yourself, without special tools. And yes, it must be done every time you change your tires. However, there is a fairly inexpensive tool (<$150) that gets the job done. See my post here...

While I still don't know of a way to manually tell a LEAF to relearn new TPMS sensors, user Shaka pointed me toward this tool: http://www.ateqtpm.com/products/tpms-personal-use/ateq-quickset It's available from Amazon for $150, or if you live in Canada, you can get it from Partsource for $135...

I just changed my tires over from winter to all-season (both sets have TPMS sensors). I had the same experience; it took 3 days for the TPMS system to register an error. Seems I now need to see my dealer for re-programming. It does seem odd that it takes the system so long to register an...

I just changed my tires, and was hoping to use the method above to re-program the TPMS. Unfortunately, I quickly hit a dead end. There doesn't seem to be a TPMS/DLC connector under the dash. There is definitely an easy to find OBD plug, but no other plug. I even removed a plastic panel that...
