TPMS system
I just change my rims to be 19 inches for my tsx 2007 w/nav. Then, My dash board said check TPMS system.
I know it is about the sensor of my tired. Acura dealer told me I have to transfer the sensor from my old rim to the new rim.
But how do I know the sensor will fit my new rim or not? Also, is there anyway I can do I by my self?
thanks

If you have access to a machine yes it can be done your self. Its a bitch to remove and install tires on rims with out the machine tire shop uses. As for fitment of TPMS, it might fit it might not. I've see rims that are TPMS capable and some are not. So I assume there is a difference. I've seen people get a small wheel barrow wheel/tire and stuff all four of the TPMS in it and inflate it and leave it in the trunk. And it works. I've seen it done with a 2007 TSX

in order to remove the sensors, the tires must be dismounted from the rims. I am guessing you are not a mechanic and do not have the proper equipment, so I will go ahead and say no, you cannot do it yourself.
i would recommend taking it to a tire shop and have them try to swap the sensors with one of the wheels. that way you don't waste their time or your time if it doesn't fit.

I would think its safe to say that wheels from all of the major wheel manufacturers should be compatible with TPMS. Otherwise check with the specific manufacturer or local reputable tire shop just to be sure.

Unless you're buying ur wheels used, usually the shop you buy wheels from will do it for you free of charge. I'm about to buy some new work wheels and this shop is going to take out my tpms from my old wheels, and then install them onto the new wheels with the adapter. All of this for free.

Gonna bring this thread up from the dead ... so it seems the only way to shut off the error on the car dash is to 'trick' the TPMS to believe the 4 sensors are within the "normal" range of the car (ie use wheelbarrow wheels with TPMS in them). Or else ... I have to buy a new set of TPMS for my winters and recalibrate them.
SIGH ... that's not what I wanted to do. I guess I shall have to suck it up and have that error appear every time I drive the car. I wish there was a way to turn that error screen off.
My Infiniti just has an icon appear on the dash and the functionality of the driver's information center remains normal (until it senses I am near time for servicing ... then I have to acknowledge the error and that's it). I hate it when automation doesn't let you shut errors (minor as this is) off.
