TPS Sensor Nut Torque Spec
Anyone know what the torque specification is for the nut that holds the TPS sensor to the wheel? Getting some new tires mounted and would like to ensure that the shop torques it down correctly. Thanks in advance.

Those sensors are just aluminum, so they have to be real careful.

You certainly don't want them to do lb ft! That would be a little bit much!

The above spec is for the 97-2000 years. For 01 - 04 (looks like you have an 03) the spec is 7 N·m (62 lbs in).

Sorry Jack, he's right, I checked in my 04 Service Manual. I guess that I had that 98 for so long that it's spec is drilled in my head!
