Tire Sensor Issue

I'm posting this for my little brother, so any input to him when he checks, would be appreciated. I helped him create this profile to get assistance when I'm not here....

My 18-year old brother recently inherited an '04 Expy with 127.XXX-miles on it. It has some age issues, but recently he took it to the shop and had then fill the tires with nitrogen (personally, I'm not a nitrogen fan, so the Ford forum can provide input on this for him as-well). The tires are maybe a year old, filled with air when installed originally, and the sensor light did not come on. Since he inherited the truck, and putting the nitrogen, the tire sensor light stays all the time.

Thoughts?

First off I am not a fan of nitrogen in the tires. Tires and rim got along just fine for a 100 years on air. IMO, it's just another way to waste your money. Now, in order to fix a faulty TP sensor the tire has to come apart, so kiss that nitrogen good-bye. However, first is the PSI correct?
