Have you checked your tire pressures? a TPMS error usually means one (or more) of them is low.

what kind of error is it? have you filled the tires with air...

it's actually "tpms system error". when i check the tire pressure reading on the mid display before the error pops up the right front tire is showing 58 psi and the rest were 32. i had new left front tire replaced a month ago due to poor alignement. maybe the dealership over inflated the tire? i'm gonna check the pressure manually and see 58 psi is the real reading.

manually check the tire pressure. TPMS is fairly accurate so I would guess you have a tire pressure issue...

ok i manually checked the tire pressure and the right front tire is 31 psi, not 58 shown in the MID display. so does this mean i need to replace the tire pressure sensor for that one tire? thanks

shadowkahn

Most likely, yes.

is this something that's DIY or do i need to take it to the shop?

Are all tires the same size?

shadowkahn

It's inside the tire, on the part of the valve stem that you can't see. The tire has to be taken off to get at it, so you'll have to take it in.

Maybe the installer damaged the in wheel sensor. Did this error message start right after the tire replacement?

all the tires are the same size. this error came up about 1 month after dealer install the left front tire. the error is for the front right tire. guess i will bring it in when i get the chance. hopefully it isn't an expensive job

What year is your TL? It might still be covered under warranty.

bought it new april 2006 but i already have 90k miles so i doubt it haha

Had the same problem with a wheel falsely reading 58psi. Swapped this defective tire with another one to see if the problem moved. It did, which proved it was the pressure sensor in the defective wheel. Ordered an Acura TPS on Ebay (eBay My World: dch.acura.of.temecula) for about $45. Have a knowledgable tire place properly torque the new sensor on the wheel. The Acura TPMS will sense the new working sensor without needing the dealer for any programming.

Good Luck

got it fixed at the dealship today. sensor was $50 and the labor was $100 with $15 disposal fee for total of $165. is there anywhere else i can take it to next time this occur again?

Disposal fee for something that small .. I would have said " give it to me ... I'll dispose of it " then took it home and garbaged it.
