Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are a mildly controversial feature of some modern cars. While it’s nice to have quick access to the current PSI readings of your tires from the comfort of your driver’s seat, some manufacturers (hello, Honda!) have a history of TPMS problems that turn the system into more of a headache than just getting out of your car and checking the tire pressure yourself. The simple purpose of TPMS is to electronically monitor your tire pressure and warn you when one of your tires falls out of the recommended PSI range. Yes, this is something that should be done by all drivers without the assistance of an electronic system, but … here we are. TPMS does have some benefits: There are two types of warnings that come with most tire pressure monitoring systems: Honda owners have been experiencing that 2nd issue – a lot. Some say it happens as often as every couple hundred miles, while others say the warning light stays on indefinitely until a mechanic is seen.

The problem can reportedly be triggered by a number of things, including temperature, driving distance and even small fluctuations in PSI. “Since then, the TPMS light has illuminated approximately every 700 miles. Currently, car has 3400 miles and the light has illuminated again (the fourth time). On every occasion, all the tire pressures were within 1 lb. psi of normal.” – pylit, Waxhaw, NCThere is a widely reported solution: tell your Honda-certified mechanic about your problem and ask them to perform the software upgrade outlined in TSB #14–006. We are looking for a copy of this document, but from all accounts it a simple software upgrade that fixes many TPMS problems: Got the CRV back from the TSB 14–006 software upgrade.

Home   >   Honda   >   Ask the Honda Service Team   > By We Heart Honda on September 11, 2014 Autumn is on its way, and once there’s a nip in the air, we’ll be getting this call several times a day: Customer (questioning): “Hey, there’s this little exclamation point light thingie on my dashboard…” Service Tech: “Yes, that’s your tire pressure gauge.” Customer (now worried): “Yeah, well, it’s on right now…wait, does that mean I have a flat tire?” Service Tech: “Most likely not, it’s just the change in weather. If you do a quick check…” Customer: “But why would a change in weather make my tires flat? I’d better bring it in just to make sure…” Yes, we know it sounds strange, but it happens every year. The outside temperature affects your tire pressure, which signals the tire pressure light to go off, which signals you to worry that your tires are low or flat. If your tire pressure indicator light goes on, you can do a quick check on your tire pressure to see if you actually need more air:

1) Tires should be checked after sitting for about 1 hour or so (so that they are at a cooler temperature.) 2) The correct pressure for your vehicle’s tires can be found on the chart located on the driver’s side doorjamb, or you can find this information in your vehicle owner’s manual. 3) Check the air pressure using a standard tire pressure gauge (no need to get fancy here, you can get one at Benny’s or Target.) If you’re not sure how to do this, check out these helpful instructions from the DMV. Make sure the psi is in the recommended range. If it’s not, add some air. Herb Chambers Honda Seekonk Senior Service Adviser Tim Islip recommends that our Honda customers check tire air pressure each month. It is also not a bad idea to increase the tire pressure by about 2 lbs as colder weather approaches. If this problem is persistent after adjusting pressures, then there may be a nail in the tire, and it will need repair or replacement. If that’s the case, or if you have any other questions, give the service team at Herb Chambers Honda Seekonk a call!
