I need some help/advice with regards to newely installed tpms.I purchased a new TSW set off of e bay and had them installed this morning with new tires and rims,after driving for about 5 mins 2 wheels registered pressure,1 was flashing a low pressure reading and 1 no pressure,when i got home i realized that the one that was reading low was actually leaking.I went back to the shop and on my way there i got a tpms error on the display and now there is no pressure being registered even though the leak has been fixed.
Any advice on what i may have to do?
Thanks in advance.

 

The one that you got no reading from that sensor is broken unfortunately you just have to buy another sensor. If you have any more questions regarding this just let me know.

 

Are those new or used TPMS sensors ?

These TPMS sensors are very fragile and can be easily damaged during removal from old wheels.

 

Thank you,so if one sensor is broken,there will be no display on the others? at present on start up tpms error shows on the screen and the tire light flashes and then stays on after a few minutes.I guess my best option is to go to the dealer since the tire shop that did the install is saying there is nothing they can do.Please advice,thanks again.


Thanks,they are new off ebay.

 

Do you still have the part number for those TPMS sensors you bought off ebay ?

Double-check if they are compatible with 4G TL's. Don't trust the seller's words.

Honda/Acura has several types of TPMS sensors, and they are not compatible across all vehicle models.

 

Thanks Edward, i checked the part # when i recieved them,it is correct mind you they were from tsw.
I cannot ignore this since i find it bothersome,i will take it to the dealer sometime next week,too bad that i may have to remove the wheels to fix this,kinda my fault though i should have bought the oem one's.

 

In your defense, I also bought ebay sensors and they work fine. Mine registered within a few miles of driving.

Maybe you do have a defective one. the seller should be able to replace it for you.

 

stupid question, but what would happen if we didn't put the TPMS sensors on our aftermarket rims?

would we get errors on the desk board? Or would it just be a black dash where the pressure is suppose to be?

thanks

 

Error MSG.

 

^^^ probably similar to what happened to me,tpms error in display and tire symbol will light up.Members with more experience can chime in to give you more info.

 

My problem has now been resolved,i had one defective sensor which was replaced,i ended taking out one from the oem rims,everything reset itself within a few minutes of driving.
A special thank you to Azine member,njsimons who was patient and extremely helpful in answering all my question with regards to the tpms issue.

 

No problem man glad I could help. Now just enjoy those wheels!!!
