Hi... I have 2008 TSX. I put 3k miles on it already.

From last week, Tire Pressure light is showing up while I driving.

It says, Tire Pressure Error. Some Times, it shows

0 35


34 35


Like this. But My wheel and tire have no problem.

What should I do.... I lowered my car.

I had the exact same problem with mine. i had only 2500 miles at the time. Mine tire pressure was dropping to 26 over 80mph and went back up after i slowed down. My lights came on with error codes. I took it to the dealer and the replace the TPMS sensor for free under warranty. kept it for 2 days tho to run tests. Good news is that I got a loaner TSX to play with.

I went to dealer, and they said when the weather is cold and hot (big up and down).
The sensors read wrong air pressure. That was the problem... =(

But I got free car wash from the dealer. =)

I have the same problem today on a 2007 TSX. I'm in NJ and was driving this morning and the right front tire pressure came on to check. It went from 30-29-28-27-28-29. Few minutes later, it came back with "Tire Pressure Error". What do I do? Do I wait? Call the dealer? I hope it is the moisture/cold and not a flat.

**UPDATE**

I called the dealer, they insisted I had a nail in the tire to bring it in. I decided to check the tire myself by having a friend inspect the tire as I inched up and turned the wheel to the far left. Found no nail. When I drove around the "Tire Pressure Error" went away.

Is it the sensor?

Not a nail in the tire, it's a PITA, sounds like.

Boy, that's hooey if I ever heard it. I'm a little surprised at the comments; my wife drives an 07 that she's had since April; over 12K miles with no TPMS issues. Of course it may not be working; I mounted a couple of snows with no sensors and according to the MID, it didn't know the difference (no error messages). (Oh, to those that do have problems: welcome to the nanny state).

After I've been to dealer, I have no issue at all.

well... very curiously issue.

You can double check to see what the pressure is with a simple $10 contraption called a tire gauge, which you can get at any Walmart or Autozone. I carry a digital one in my 2006.

I've yet to have to pump in more air as each time I bring in for oil change, I've made sure that they check the tire pressure so I don't have to pay for air. I am rebelling against gas companies that are forcing me to pay for air.

You mean a "free swirl installation" ?

the dealer i take my tsx to hand washes the cars and also vacuums them-does an excellant job-no swirls- (knock-on-wood)

This happened to me twice this week with 6K miles on the car. The system comes up with TPMS error and reads 28 0 28 28. It will stay on for about 25 mins of driving, then the error disappears. My tire looks fine. Just the constant beeping is annoying.

The dealer told me it was the colder weather also. I think he was reading it straight from the TSX owners manual. But does this mean it will happen more with the winter coming? hmmmm...

davidspalding

Cold weather does it...? Suddenly one tire reads low...?

In a pig's behind.

I had a TPMS on my Toyota Sienna (2000) and never had a problem, even during an ice storm, snow, etc. I suspect this "hot/cold weather change" excuse is only that -- an excuse.

frack

Is anyone else having the "tire pressure error" light keep coming on?

Mine has been on for 3 days now....it says my two front tires are low....but i checked them and they are all fine. The weather isn't even that cold here.

I guess I should bring it back to Acura?

tire pressure naturally fluctuates depending on the temp of the tire. when it is cold (when you first startup the car in the morning, for example), the reading will be lower. that is the reading you will want to use and make judgements off of. when you have driven on the tires for a period of time, they heat up and the pressure increases. this is all natural and happens during everyday driving.

an error can mean two things:

a. one or more of your sensors are messed up
b. tire pressure is dangerously low in one or more of your tires

Your tire pressure does go down when the weather gets cold. My warning lights came on last week one morning for one tire (26lbs appears to be the sensor's warning level). That afternoon it had warmed up enough and the lights went off. Pumped 'em back up to 32 this afternoon so I don't have to deal w/ the lights anymore (they had been around 28-30). If I was getting an error when I know they're full enough, I'd make them fix the sensor.

I've found my gauge shows 1-2lbs more than the sensor, so it's actually surprisingly close. I'd never automatically trust the sensor though-- my tire gauge fits nicely in that "pen slot" in the arm rest.

My mother had that problem on her 07 Element and the dealership found a bubble on the inside of the tire. She replaced the tire and the warning went away. The tire was covered under manufacturer's warranty.

Just an FYI, I've read a couple of places that the old-style "pen gauges" aren't reliable. I don't claim to know the inner works, but I've had 2-3 Accutire mechanical (needle and release/deflate button) racing-style units which I've liked. like this but without the extra hose:



I have one of these, which is okay, but not my fav. Cheap, though.
