I just got these wheels with tires and the guy said he think it have tpms installed. I think it does too by looking at the valve stem parts. It look exactly the same like my stock valve stem. After I installed the wheels and drove for couple miles. The TPMS error came on. I called the dealer and they said if the wheels have tpms all I have to do is drive it for couple miles and it will register. I drove it again and nothing happen. Can you guys help me by looking at the picture if it have tpms or not? Last resort I have to take it to a tire shop and have they pop the tire loose and look. I took a picture of the valve stem of the wheel claiming with tpms and a valve stem of the non tpms.


Wheels I bought.



Regular valve stem, no tpms

The wheels need to have TPMS sensors compatible with your system

Exactly. They might have TPMS installed but either those TPMS are not compatible with your vehicle (I assume 09-14' TL?), are universal and haven't been programmed to work with your vehicle or they're damaged.

Oh, didnt know that. I thought they are running at 315mhz then it be fine. How can I program it to my car? Or is it cheaper to buy a used set or swap them out from my old set? Thank yoy

swap your old tpms from your stocks..

Anyone know if the TSX TMPS are the same as the TL? Found a set for deals. I'm assuming they are since everything else is identical to the TSX minus the exterior and a few other things. I'll check part numbers later but at work. Not interested in swap my stocks since I'm still keeping those wheels since everything is still under 3000 miles.

Thanks!

They're not. ZDX TPMS are.

Vi3tguy2000

This is what I will do.

Viet, if you're going to be swapping wheels for summer/winter than it might be a better investment to buy an extra set, since unmounting and mounting tire/tpms cost will add up.

Vi3tguy2000

I wont be needing to swap back and forth since I'm living in Florida. A used tpms set cost around $150. TSX, TL, RL, RDX, MDX used the same tpms?

I know for a fact that ZDX and TL TMPS are interchangeable, I'm unsure about the rest.

Never played with the acura, I have a few sets for my Ford and I have to train the wheel sensors every time I change rims. Might want to check into it. Matter of fact just Google it. Even my trained wheels have to be redone when I switch them out with the others.

No need to do anything extra to new Honda/Acura TPMS sensors.

Just install the wheels, drive the car around normally for a couple minutes, and the tire pressure readings will start to show up inside the dash display.

Thanks everyone for your input. The wheels I got 2nd hand is from a Camaro and the guy from tires place said they run at different frequency. To be safe, I'm just gonna use my old sensors and not worry about it anymore. Stupid me thinking that all tpms running at 315mhz.
