TPMS Check TPMS System Error

Has anyone gotten this error message on their MDX? It comes up and Clears itself while I am driving. When the error comes up tire pressure has --- next to each of the tires. If you had this error what is the fix? The tire pressure is fine. Thanks in advance for your your help!

So do I have to check each sensor?

Hey, did you ever find a fix for your TPMS issue, it's happening to me on my '13 MDX. Same message, intermittently reads all four, then error message, all four read dashes.

The sensors batteries average lifetime is within 7-9 years. So if you are anywhere around that age, it's likely the batteries are starting to fail. Time to swap the sensors.

Likewise, received the "Check TPMS System" light on my 2011 MDX, and the dash display reading for all tires showed "--" psi. Unlike the OP, the light was not intermittent and just stayed on constantly.

Took it to Costco where they determined that one of the TPMS sensors/batteries went bad. They replaced it and TPMS functioning fine now, showing ## psi readings for all 4 tires.

As thoiboi's question implies, one would think that just one bad sensor would be easy to identify using the TPMS psi readings on the display, but apparently, when one goes bad, it throws the whole system off.

Thanks for sharing! Just got this on my 1G RDX. Will get it checked and share feedback.

So I have the same issue-
Tire shop says all the sensors ok.
This started off with just the driver side rear sensor not reading adequate tire pressure, even thought the tire pressure was correct
Now I have these warnings
Thoughts?

If the ALL sensors are ok, then you need to read the code

The Honda / Acura dealership diagnostic scanner should be able to diagnose the problem and find a solution to replace the parts. They have a dedicated menu of TPMS tests.
