Last Wednesday boston got like 3" of rain. Hit a huge pothole on rte 93 in Medford - destroyed my tire and wheel (07 TLs). Cost me almost $700 to fix

Anyway, I couldn't figure out if the spare tire had a tire pressure sensor. Most of the time it said zero, sometimes it said error, once it said 59 (which would make sense with the temp. spare).

Tech said I also had to replace the sensor, which may have been why it said error sometimes. Is the sensor in the wheel, or with the brake assembly and does the spare have a sensor?

LOL, the spare is an alloy wheel, but doesn't match the rest of the wheels. What's the point?

If the car didnt come with one- here is the free download link

No it doesn't.

correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt the spare solid rubber?

Normally there's a receiver in the wheel wells, and a tpms transmitter in the nozzle piece of each of our tires.

No, the spare is a 60 psi doughnut.

TPMS is TWO sensors, 1 in the wheel (measure and send) and 1 in the car (receive/display).

The spare does not have a sensor, so an error message would be an appropriate diagnosis from the receive unit.

Also, ALL your TMPS sensors show 59 psi for a moment after start up.

It is more hope that my constantly posting the Owner Manual link- that some people will read theirs, and stop asking the basic stuff thats contained in the book.
Acura went to a lot of trouble to write about all the systems- especially the newer cars and traction control wierdness etc. ---
the least we can do is to read them and understand the car better. I post acuras phone number too- and the owner login link- in hopes that all will use the system to their advantage.
Maybe then we wont see- how do I find my radio code??- post anymore, all ziners will register theirs on their acura.com account

I guess you have to leave it on that when you shut the car off to see that huh Bear? Because by the time you thumb thru the features, it's regular. I will do this tonight. I want to see it just for kicks...if I remember.

I 'm pretty anal about the owners manual.....more so with my '07 TL-S.
Some of the many features that you have, you may never know about without reading the manual. And I don't know how you could even USE the Nav. system without reading it.

Sounds right Ray. I've only seen it a couple times, but had a heads up from posts here that is was normal at startup. It only lasts for a moment or two.
