My names Juan and i own a tl 2007... Im glad to find ppl from canada in this acurazine as i always go to the ones from the states but its not the same... I have a hugr concern i just put these aftermarket wheels on my tl and i drove it for a Couple kms n all of a sudden the tpms came on i flipped the arrows to see my tire info and it says "error".... I didnt have this problem with my factory wheels... Anyone know what to do? Like how to reset the computer or what to do?
Thanks
Thanks
I'm quite certain these aftermarket wheels you purchased were not equipped with TPMS. The seller would usually advertise something like that since they cost around $100 for all four.
You have two options. One is to deal with the error message all the time and just keep driving. It isn't a big issue, just an annoying "i" indicator on the dash all the time and the MID won't tell you if your tire pressure is low so it would be safe to check the tires manually every so often. Second choice is to purchase 4 TPMS and get them mounted. In order to do so, I'd take it to a tire place to get them installed. The reason so is because they have to break the bead between the tire and wheel so that they can replace the valve stem with the TPMS. If your aftermarket wheels don't fit the factory TPMS, you can buy mounting kits that wrap around the wheel allowing them to fit.
Best of luck!

I wonder how he did driving in all that snow. Last Thursday, I was barely getting any traction on my way home in my "all-season" tires. I switched back since I have to do so much driving but it looks like by the end of the week it's going to be double digits. The question is now, when do I switch back to summers yet again and pray there isn't another random snowfall.

Soo i went to alberta honda fountain tire and canadian tired.. Alberta honda told me
I didnt have sensors in my tires and that i "needed" them cause
It would screw up the computer and all this stuff anyways they were charging 500 for parts tools and labour... I went to fountain tire and canadien tire to get different outputs n they said honda was just trying to make money out of me n they only thing i wouldnt know is when my tires need air cause theres no sensor so the computer wouldnt know which is fine by me cause i have a tps these guys said its not important at all n if they were me theyd just leave it... The light is soo annoying but im not payin 500 bucks for it
So i think im just gona leave it at this...
Anyone has more opinions or outputs??
Thanks

Did you take the time to read my post above?
Yes if a dealership suspects they have an unknowing customer they'll try to milk them for extra money. It is a dealership after all. Canadian Tire and Fountain Tire are correct. The 04-06 TL's didn't have TPMS so it's not like they revamped the computer system in the 07-08 TL's to accommodate the TPMS. It's not a big deal not to have them but I was annoyed by that indicator as well. Hence why I bought (4) new TPMS and got them installed on my winter wheels. If I recall correctly, they cost around $130 shipped from one of the vendors here.

If you're looking for a fix, buy the 4 TPMS from a vendor here. It's much cheaper purchasing the parts online. Find out if your wheels will require the mounting ring for the TPMS and get them installed at a tire shop. It's not too difficult, just a hassle. It's worth it if the "I" indicator annoys you as much as it did for me.
you don't have to do that yourself. If you find sensors from vendors here, 130$ isnt bad. And Ed the tire guy can out those in for you for cheap, 40$ lets say, and you are good to go. There is no resetting of computer or anything like that. Vinsiniti got it all done for even cheaper than what i just said.
another greddy for sale!!! thats cheap!

The owner's manual recommends to use premium, even when you open the gas door on the cap or inside of the door it says to only use premium. Not too sure why the previous owner wouldn't. I stick to only Shell V-Power since I like to gain air miles

Wow so.. tried to log into 780tuners just now and apparently got banned for spamming. Didn't know making "ONE" post that was supposed to be helpful to some members was considered spamming and deserved a ban..
#2787
@Gnuey - 780tuners is a joke. At least you aren't IP banned like me for some odd reason. I messaged them asking why and got no reply so the only way I can check is on my phone or a different connection.

Posted in the thread about headcount for members going to Driven in Calgary. I posted a link to a coupon for 3M blue tape for those that wanted to tape up their cars for the drive down. Somehow that translates to spam and a ban i guess..

I may have (2) extra 25mm spacers if they're too wide for my front.
I'll be dropping my car this Sunday at Ricky's shop. I think I'll leave the winter wheels on for at least another week or two since I don't want a repeat of the gong show recently.

Yeah definitely looking at around 2". Don't want to be slammed but not looking at an excessively conservative drop either. Oh fudge, didn't take rolling spacers into account. I thought it was going to fit flush with the right spacers. Recommend a place? Will I need all four corners done or just the rears?

Nice pickup Sanjay, now drop that baby.
Vince, I can't wait to see it dropped with spacers and all.
I might put back the summers this weekend granted I get my studs replaced. If it snows, I already arranged something for my transportation to school.
