Ok, i've had my Fit for a little over 3 weeks now and this past weekend my TPMS light came on again for the 2nd time. I've heard more than once that Honda seems to be having a problem with the TPMS systems in alot if not all of there cars. I'm just curious to see, how many other people out there are having issues with TPMS? I have a 08 Sport with stock wheels and as of this weekend, it has just over 1000 miles on it. Anyone else having issues of the recurring TPMS light?
God, I wish my ol' lady had a PMS light, so I could find out the easy way.
And to any feminazis, "Ol' Lady" is not a derogatory term, spoken among motorcyclists. I love my ol' lady more than most guys love their wives and girlfriends. I sincerely wonder why sometimes, but I do.
Oh, you said a TPMS light. That's very different. Never mind.

I just had the same problem this weekend, my TPMS light is on also but I also did swap out my rims with some Mugen RNR's. Is there any way to disable or trick the TPMS system with my new wheels or do I have to bite the bullet spend some cash on a second set of sensors?

Check all ur tires pressure and for nails or staples. I had a small staple on one of my tires, but the tire didn't went down flat completely flat. It actually looked normal. So I thought it is the TPMS sensor problem and took it to the dealer and found out there was the staple on one of my tires. Also that tire was at 20-25 psi if i remember correctly.

I had a TPMS light come on, and that was due to an overinflated tire. And this was the first night I had the car. I bled the excess pressure the next day, and it eventually went off. Hasn't come back on since.
Well, I assume you're talking about the light that actually says "TPMS," and not the light that says "Weird picture of an underinflated tire," right? Having that light on means that the TPMS system is not working, not that a tire has incorrect pressure.
I had a sensor broken at pep boys when they were removing a blown out tire from the rim. After I took it in to Honda to get a new sensor, the TPMS light was still on. I just took it back again today to get cleared, and I was told that everything was fine, they weren't sure why the light came on again, but having something in the accessory slot could cause a problem. I pulled my ipod charger from the accessory slot and the TPMS light hasn't come on since.
If you have any electronics that aren't stock (whether it be a complete radio swap, or just something plugged into the 12V power socket), I believe that this could be the culprit. If possible, go back to stock and get the code cleared.
I can only hope that whatever the actual cause is for you, it's covered under warranty. I don't know what is covered under the standard warranty, since I got the extended, which apparently saves my ass from everything except when pep boys breaks a TPMS sensor.

For me, I had one tire that registered 40-42 psi, when it should have been 32 psi. I drove the next morning and it was still on. When I was at lunch that day, I checked and found that the one tire was off. After bleeding the air, I went to run an errand. The TPMS light was on for a couple of minutes, then it disappeared. Maybe an overinflated tire can screw up TPMS?
And it was the TPMS light, not the bloated tire with the exclamation point.
yeah, i had the same problem. the same day i got my car, i got home and I notcied the light was on. It was due to one of the tires being about 10psi overinflated. it was at about 50psi.
5k miles, no TPMS problems. I had thought the front tires were under inflated because it looked a bit squished, but I checked and it was around 33 PSI so I left it alone.
I have never seen the "low tire pressure" light come on. It is the actual TPMS light. This is the 2nd time in 3 weeks it has come on. I got some song and dance about how Honda has been having issues with TPMS systems in most of their cars and they had a "new tool" coming out to help correct the problem. My dealer just recieved the "tool" and I am supposed to take it in tomorrow to get it checked out. I know my tires are not over inflated so that isnt the problem. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having the TPMS light issue and had to keep going back to the dealer to get it "reset". I'm beginning to wonder if there is a problem with my TPMS system.

Today, as I started to drive to work, my low tire pressure light came on. When I checked my tires at lunch, all were at about 28-29 psi. After inflating them all to 32 psi, I drove until the light went off, which took maybe 5-7 seconds after I started to go forward. I guess my TPMS is working the way it should!
