Default Tire pressure sensor?

Just took delivery of an '08 Nismo and noticed the tire pressure sensor light is on. I was just wondering how sensitive it is. I have not checked the pressure in each tire yet. This is just a general question. The car is headed to the dealer to get a multipoint inspection etc.

On that note I do know there are valve caps that change color depending on tire pressure loss.. good idea? If so, recommended brand??

Thanks
Rich

Going forward you should probably research this before making a new thread, and additionally this is not only specific to the Nismo. There's a ton of threads on this very issue.

Anyways- your tires should be at 35 psi per corner to meet the factory specs. Once that's done your TPS light should go away. Mine has been on pretty much since I got the car a year ago and nothing seems to make it go off, so I've just accepted it and check my tires the tried and true way: manually.

Being that you live in the Northeast, the salt has most likely damaged/corroded the sensor! You will need a new one or one's! Not cheap either... The steelership will rake you over.

check your tire pressure, it takes about as long as it does to make the post you did.
