How do you determine which of your TPMS gizmos in your tires are broke?


Replacing tires soon and had 2 ripped out as the values were leaking and needed to get that fixed right away instead of going through the hassle of fixing the existing TMPS light being on.


Figure on fixing the TPMS while replacing tires.

 

Well, if the valve was leaking... then it's possible that's the broken sensor.

But honestly, there's no real way to know without using Honda's diagnostic system to get a report from the TPMS unit (if it even reports). That, or swapping out one, reprogramming in the IDs to match and driving around... then rinse/repeat until the TPMS light goes out. But that assumes that a TPMS sensor is busted and not a fault in the main unit.

In my opinion... save yourself the hassle and take it to a dealer or mechanic that can deal with Honda TPMS. I mention this specifically because I also have a TPMS issue and my mechanic DOESN'T do Honda TPMS =.=". According to him, it's not the sensor... but the main unit, which he doesn't have the software to deal with.
