I have a 08 Fit and a friend of mine is telling me that if I change the rims on the car it will throw the TPMS light and that there would be no way to get it turned off, is this true?

 

I have an 08 fit also, after reading the owners manual and from what I've read on another site, the tpms is triggered by sensors within the wheels. These sensors send a message to your ecu telling the car when tire pressure is low. Now for it to just come on from taking the wheels off Im not sure. I just picked up a set of wheels that Im planning on putting on the fit myself. But I'm sure your local Honda dealership can turn the light off if it were to come on.

 

if they are any thing like chevys witch they look like they should only have to be put back on the same side but ill find out when i get some rimes fo mine

 

can the tire pressure sensor be taken off the OEM rim and be installed on the new rim?

 

Yes they can be put in new wheels.....

 

Take a look at:

shows how to move them...even how to break them.
