What does the display show for the rire pressure?

Set all your tire pressures to 32 psi which is the factory spec. You should be able to go through your MID screen and see what your pressures are. This is winter for every 10 deg. less it is outside you lose 1 psi. Theory says if you were driving in the afternoon and it was 50 outside your tire pressure are at 33, now the temp over night is 30 and your tires have cooled down you are now 2-5 PSI less which will triger the light if it falls below 28 psi.

As you drive the tires get warm which increases psi inside the tire. Over night while sitting and it's colder from the afternoon hours your psi inside the tire drops and may drop below the 28 mark. If after setting your tire pressures to 32-34 drive the vehicle around the block see if the light goes off. If indeed the indicator is solid for a tire and not flashing while still showing a TPMS warning then it's most likely a bad TPMS sensor.

it shows all the tires as a blank.what i mean by the theres a blank line next to each tire where the psi number should be....i reset the screen and i checked all my tire pressure and there all fine 32 psi every single one.

Would it be possible to upload an image.. Sounds to me like your TPMS is normal. If there was an issuse it will either flash which tire is low and tell you that PSI or if the sensor malfunctioned it will just show a solid box without a psi number but the other will have a psi number.

ill try to post up pictures tomorrow afternoon..what happens is an orange screen comes up saying tpms system error. i click select and it goes to my tire pressure and it shows a blank line next to each tire.

There is a system error. You need to try and relearn the sensors to the TPMS control unit. Some tire shops will be able to do it. Otherwise a dealer will have to do it. If the control unit can't read a sensor, you'll need to replace the sensor. I had to replace all 4 sensors a few weeks ago.

IF the TPMS sensor is bad, what would the cost of replacement be from the dealer or is their a DIY for us to do it?

Doubt that all 4 wheel sensors would go bad at the same time, its more than likely the receiver in the car thats having issues.

I had this problem when i was driving my 06 home from the dealer when i bought it. turned out the dumb ass that put my tires on broke all the TPMS sensors and just threw in normal valve stems. dealer had to buy me four sensors and install them. It was 300.00 total i think. Sounds like your computer just needs to be re programed. Take it to the dealer or a tire shop. all four sensors would not go out at once!
Now i just get this issue when i have my summer rims on as i didnt put TPMS sensors in them!

I told myself the same thing. I would never believe all 4 sensors would go bad either. It was an 09 TSX. I swapped over a different TSX's wheels with tires and relearned those sensors to the car and it read them all just fine. I swapped the old wheels back and the car still wouldn't read the sensors. stock wheels and tires and everything. I put on 4 new sensors and tah dah. works perfectly! I know its odd though.

are all sensors look the same ?
