I'm putting my OEM's back on and wondering about this TPMS. Is there anything I have to CONNECT?
Also what's the TORQUE for the Wheel Nuts?
Thanks!

Anywhere between 75-85 will be fine. Also I found out yesterday the theory of the TPMS light going off. So our cars only have the light go off if, the sensor is not installed, or the pressure is low. Because the car doesnt have a specific display for each tire pressure, it does not matter where you have the sensors on the car Sorry for my misinformation earlier

I have to get a TPMS sensor replaced because a carwash ripped my valvestem out which broke the sensor. The dealership is telling me that it would take over an hour to replace the broken sensor and calibrate it. I KNOW it takes less than 15 minutes to replace the sensor itself, so the time for calibration would be absurd, and thats if its even needed!adidas2go wrote:Anywhere between 75-85 will be fine.

Am I understanding this right that calibration shouldn't even be required when I get a replacement sensor?

Re: TPMS & Wheel Nut Torque (nifty)
The thing is that, the sensor is a battery powered radio frequency. Thats it. So, you do have to calibrate each and every sensor to the right frequency and pressure, or the sensor will throw the code. It wouldn't surprise me if it takes them an hour to do it, considering it takes the same amount of time to sync the key fob to the car. If your worried about them charging you for an hour of labor....its because, thats the lowest incriment they can work in. Ever seen a bill from Nissan be .7 hours
