well, they don't look like the OEM sensors that i have...but the description on that page says they're for a TL...so they should (in theory) work.

who installed them? make sure they are seated properly or they won't be able to calibrate.

yeah if they're installed properly, once you go driving they'll all say "58" and then within a few minutes they will calibrate and voila...you have tire pressure readings.

if they're new, and installed correctly...they should work.

if one broke during install or isnt installed correctly, nothing will work and you'll get that annoying as shit error message.

^yeah take them somewhere and have them dismount your tires from the wheels and make sure they aren't damaged and that they are installed proplerly.

EDIT. should have asked, what wheels are these installed on? some aftermarket wheels require an adapter for the TPMS to work.

^well then they should work.

just curious, why didn't you just by OEM acura sensors from one of our vendors? they're the same price.
