C1709 on Nissan by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
Nissan bulletin NTB13-088 covers TPMS radio-frequency interference causing C1708/C1709/C1710/C1711 “No Data,” along with sensor leaks, registration, wheel-service damage and environmental pressure effects. GT-R-specific records also require verifying whether the sensor transmits before replacement; on certain 2018 cars, a transmitting sensor with recurring codes can lead to HVAC-blower diagnosis. A sensor should not be replaced based on one code alone.
Common Symptoms
- TPMS 'No Data' fault codes (C1708-C1711)
- Air leaking at a TPMS sensor or valve
- TPMS faults after tire or wheel service
- Recurring TPMS codes even though the sensor transmits
How to Fix
Confirm cold tire pressures, read the exact wheel-position DTC and use the approved activation/diagnostic tool to verify transmission. Remove or relocate nearby aftermarket electronics when RF interference is suspected, and inspect for sensor or valve leakage and tire-service damage. Establish the transmission result, code path, wheel equipment and VIN fitment before buying a sensor, valve kit, activation tool or HVAC blower.

Frequently asked questions
What does C1709 mean on a Nissan?
C1709 stands for "Data From Front Right Transmitter Cannot Be Received." A Nissan/Infiniti-specific tire pressure monitoring (TPMS) code. The body control module or TPMS receiver is no longer receiving the radio signal from the front right wheel's pressure sensor. The TPMS lamp typically flashes at startup and then stays on, and the display shows blanks or dashes for that wheel. The tire itself may be fine — the fault is in the sensor or its reception — but that corner is no longer monitored, so check its pressure manually until it is fixed. On Nissan it is documented across 1 model: GT-R.
What are the most common causes of C1709?
The most common causes of C1709 are: Dead battery inside the front right TPMS sensor (typical life 5-10 years), Failed or physically damaged TPMS sensor, often from a tire change or from tire sealant, Sensor never registered/relearned after a tire rotation or wheel swap, Aftermarket wheels with no TPMS sensors installed, Radio frequency interference, often from aftermarket chargers or electronics (see Nissan TSB NTB13-088A), Weak or faulty TPMS receiver/antenna, damaged antenna wiring, or a faulty body control module. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix C1709 on a Nissan?
Repair costs vary widely with the root cause and Nissan model; each issue on this page carries its own estimate where one is published.
