Unhappy Tire Pressure Monitoring System Broken!!!



My Tire Pressure Monitoring System for the front left tire is broken. My car is only 2 months old, 2006 model. And I have not serviced the car in any way yet or filled up the tire with air. I inspected the tire, rim, and fender for any damages or air leaks and there is none whatsoever. It was working fine just 2 days ago and today, I noticed this...

My question is, can I go to any local Acura dealership to have this repaired under warranty or do I have to go back to the Acura dealership I purchased the vehicle from?

You can have warranty work done at any dealership. You do not have to go to the dealer you purchased the car. This is standard for any car.

Coming from the top of my head, I believe it's 34 Front, 33 Rear. The TPMS only applies to 2006 models. To check the tire pressure, press the right of the "Select" button on the bottom right of the gauges until you reach "Tire Pressure", then you press the "Info" button and it will be displayed.

Should be front 34 and back 32

Mine does this when I FIRST turn on the car and then after about 10 sec they go to right temp...

You can try to pull the fuse and put it back in to see if it resets. You can even put the key in pos 2 with the fuse out. It will just say TPMS error, than put it back...

Its first fuse in middle row. Its always hot... I played with mine when I thought it was going nuts but I actually did need air. HAHA

Just take it to any Acura dealer. It doesnt matter where you bought it unless you want to just be faithful to that dealer.... I am with mine...

Is this fuse just for the TPMS? I have an 06 with aftermarket wheels with out the sensors in the wheels and would like to disable the warning

my front is supposed to be 40/41. the front driver side went down to 34. so yesterday, i put in 2psi more, & the monitor said 57. then 10 seconds later, it went back to 36.

then i put a little more air in the rear tires & the pressure went down 1psi, then a minute later up one, then another couple minutes it was all set. when i 1st had the rims on they were all off for a few miles. I guess it can get mixed up when changing, but mine always stays balanced out. btw-235/35/19- i was recomended 40/41 in front & i stay -2 in back.
