I think the back two sensors have deenergized batteries as I read 0 psi on one wheel and varying psi(from 15 to 50 psi) on the other wheel.

Should I get the OEM sensors at about $100 each or go with an aftermarket set...and if aftermarket do you all have a recommended brand that plays nice with the TPMS programming tools most shops use?

 

Autel. $69/wheel installed and programmed at Pep Boys.

 

Yes like the previous poster suggested, the TPMS is standardized so you won't run into problems with one OEM functioning differently from others. I paid $60 per wheel and discount tire / America's tire when I bought new wheels. mainly because I just didn't want to pull off the old tires from the set to sell them. secondly, it's nice to have new transmitters after 20 years.

 

I could only assume the cheaper sensors would have cheaper batteries and not last as long.

 

cheaper than what, OEM? do you realize that car manufacturers use thousands of parts from different companies? there's no such thing as a Nissan TPMS transmitter. but do what you want....
