TPMS Sensors... EVERYTHING you need to know (Quick & Easy Explain)

TPMS... or Tire Pressure Monitoring System... pretty much all of the cars you see on the road today come built-in from the factory with them (unless the car is pre-2007). Sometimes, your TPMS light can come in even though you're sure that your tires have air. Let's go over what to do when this happens.
One thing to keep in mind that was not mentioned in this video is that sometimes TPMS sensors need to be reset, and when they are, allow for a few miles of driving before they reflect an accurate reading.
TPMS sensors can go wrong for a multitude of reasons... dead batteries, faulty sensors, damage or corrosion - take your pick. Let's go over it together because this video is everything you'll need to know about TPMS sensors.

Does the nut torque from a new set depend on the sensor you are installing a new set on? Or that torque is the same for any sensor it fits on?
For example, the original TPMS sensor require 65 in-lbs (2009 Nissan Sentra), but new service kit for the nut included in that set gives 35 in-lbs. I didn't look before on the packet of the service kit and installed w/63 in-lbs. The car was driving perfectly fine like for 2 years. Now I'm replacing the wheels and moving the TPMS sensors fm old wheels to the new ones. I'm replacing the service kit items of course (nut, washer, gasket, and Schrader Valve). Here it came to my attention the printed value of the nut torque on the small packet for the new kit (35 in-lbs). So I don't know what torque to apply 65, 35 or smth in between (especially as everything was fine and with 65). I inspected the previous service kit nuts, which were used for 2 years, and which were under 63 in-lbs instead of 35, they were fine, no hairline cracks on them. I would appreciate any opinions on this matter.

We would advise you to stick with your OE's suggested torque settings. However, as you saw after two year, it seems like the extra torque didn't have a negative effect.

It would have been helpful it you'd taken ten seconds to explain how the 'direct' ones work, ie how they communicate to the computer/display etc.
