Tire Rotation and TPMS

You don't have to worry about resetting anything. All Hondas and Acuras with TPMS have receivers called "initiators" which automatically detect the tire closest to them. They are located in each corner of the vehicle.

One issue I noticed is that you can't change out the TPMS sensor on the newer Honda. So if you have a winter and a summer set of tires, you have to have a dealer update you TPMS code (or buy one of those TPMS code banks to download your current code and then change out the tires and new TPMS at the dealer and download the second set of codes to your TPMS code bank
. I don't know if and Acura is like that. I have an 04 MDX but I never changed the TPMS tires like I did on my Honda.

Thanks for the clarification. I misspoke (or miswrote). I was replying to the OP who had an '09 MDX, which does have initiators and does not have to be reprogrammed.

I've had no problem rotating my tires on my 04 MDX.

Are the initiators mounted inside the cabin or outside in the wheel well?
