06 TPMS problems?
Anyoe else with a 06 encounter problems with the new TPMS? Mine just starting to act up and it reads one of the tires at 58PSI and after driving around for a bit. It flags it as malfunctioning, After some more driving. It come back to normal and reads all tires fine. Here's bacially what happens.
1: start car and all system checks okay.
2: look in the tire pressure system and 1 wheel reads 58 while others at 33PSI.
3: no malfunctions until I drive it around for a little while.
4: cancel the malfunction status screen and the dash TPMS remains lit.
5: some more driving and everything goes back to normal with a quick check and all wheels now at 33PSI.
Once I shut the car and start it again, The process starts all over.
Anyone have some insite on how this system works so I can get a better understanding of it? I know it's sensor base but where is it and how does it read the tires PSI's.
Thanks

I have the TPMS in the RL and the only time it has gone up to 58 or anything that high was when I swapped out the tires. It was resetting the system because the TPM sensor lost contact with the antenna in the car. I would suggest going to your dealer to have it checked out and possibly replaced.

Welp just a quicky update. I haven't gotten a chance to go back to dealer for them to look at this problem. Anyways, It's been quite warm the last 2 days or so and now the problem sensor seem to be working perfectly fine. No signs of the pass experience as far as the problem is concern. So to me it seems like the sensors are a little sensative so since we are still in the middle of winter and more than sure the temp is gonna go down south again. I'm going to hold off till it acts up again till I have the dealer take a look at it.

You should take it to the dealer to get it checked out since the TPMS light is on which means theres something wrong with it. My only shows 58 psi right when the car is started and changes to the right reading after a couple of seconds.

I guess the system is like Microsoft... It just needs a hard reboot every once in a while

All the world's a stage
I don't know what the problem is but that's what a warranty is for.
Bring your car into Acura and have them figure it out instead of causing more undo stress.

1) I prefer to NOT be without the car that I make a monthly payment on.
2) I prefer to NOT have the dealer monkeys breaking 2 things trying to fix one.
I would prefer constructive advice and experiences rather than running off to my incompetent dealer...

Not every one is having such bad experience from their local dealers.
The Acura TPMS systems also uses the diagnostic tools that only the dealer has access to.
If there is a malfunction of the TPMS sensor, it should be covered under the basic warranty.
Also, please note that some tire dealers are refusing to work on any cars equipped with TPMS for the fear of breaking a sensor and having to pay for an expensive repair.
It is better to have someone properly trained to unmount and install tire on TPMS equipped wheels then some grease monkey who has no friggin idea.

My home fix seems to be effective... Pull the fuse, reset the system, and the problem is solved. If the problem becomes recurrent, or comes back and won't go away
Lee, the sensors are not position specific. Rotating the tires has no affect. The problem I had was not with the sensors(transmitters). The entire "system" failed for one afternoon.
