Exclamation TPMS Light

Howdy!

I have a 2005 Honda Pilot and my TPMS Light is coming on but, none of the Tires are illuminating, showing which tire is low. Does this mean there's a fault with the TPMS system itself or something else? Any suggestions to troubleshoot this fault?

Any/all replies would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

welcome to the forum. check all 5 tires for correct pressure with a tire guage. then reset the tpms then check to see if the tpms comes back on, it it does one of the tire monitor/sensor may be damaged.

Thank you acmech52 for your reply. If all tires are the correct pressure and one of the sensors is faulty, wouldn't the system show that tire as low? I'm not getting any indication of a single tire on the display. All I get is the TPMS light itself. I don't know this system but common sense would dictate if one of the sensors was bad, that tire would show faulty and illuminate on the panel. Am I missing something?

Thank you again for your reply!

Default Great article...

Thank you, acmech52!

Great article! Looks like TPMS is a great accessory to have but, what a pain to troubleshoot when it's not working correctly! Not sure what direction I'll go in but at the very least, I have this article to fall back on.

Best regards,

Phoophan

If you decide to go ahead and install TPMS or if you encounter any issues in the future, don't hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance or guidance. It should be noted that among the large list of games strongly stand out still online casinos, but unfortunately a lot of scammers, so you should look for information https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos/taka-bdt and play only in verified games. Whether it's through articles, online communities, or professional help, there's usually a way to address TPMS-related problems and ensure your vehicle's safety and performance.

There are two systems of TPMS. One is indirect and the second is direct TPMS. Most modern cars now have the direct TPMS system as that directly measures the air pressure and sends that information to the ECM. On Honda, if the symbol with the tire and exclamation mark comes on then this means one of the tires is low on pressure. If the letters TPMS light up then there is a fault in the TPMS system. Usually a faulty sensor. There is no way to know unless you have the TPMS tool to activate the TPMS sensor and read its response. TPMS sensors need to be programmed to your make model and year of the vehicle. Then, each sensor's code needs to be learned (along with position) into the ECM. Again a TPMS tool is needed to do this. Autel makes a good tool that can program their MX tpms sensors. Their sensors can be programmed to about 97% of the vehicles available. Sensors can be cloned to ones already on the vehicle so no relearn may be needed. Or, whole new sensor codes can be relearned.

Yeah, two years old. But, still can learn something new.
