Default Tire Pressure Sensor

Can someone tell me what the torque specs are for the pressure sensor?

Thanks,
The Big Dog

Tight enough so it doesnt come loose? I dont think they need much. Just give the nut a little oomph crank and it should be fine.

I use a 1/4 inch drive screwdriver like extension with a deep socket and tighten them this way so as not to overtighten them. Remember they have an O-ring that does the sealing and you don't want to distort it too much.

This is from the C5 2004 Gm service manual. "Torque tire sensors to..
7n-m which = 62 lb.in = 5.16 lb.ft."


PS: Use a 12mm deep socket to torque the tire pressure sensor...

I put a light film of oil on the o-ring to help seal, then I just hand tighten gently. Never had an issue. I guess the wrist just clicks when it is right.
