no, but the tire pressure light can come on for overinflation as well as underinflation

Not sure why the light comes on from time to time, unless it's related to temperature. Good to know there's no damage from that; thanks! |

No damage from overinflated tires. If you drive on it for thousands of miles it may wear the center of the tire out faster.

Probably a problem with the transmitter in one of the tires. Resetting the warning light isn't going to fix it. I'd insist they diagnose it properly and fix it.

The pressure sensor is likely out of calibration, and coming on when the pressure is still high enough.
Some techs will over-inflate slightly to turn the damned idiot light off. Oh, and those sensors each have a battery that will die 3 to 4 years after it was installed. They will not replace the battery, but the whole sensor when this happens. Call the service dept and ask what a set of sensors installed runs.

No, but check your spare tire pressure as well. Mine is a full size with a sensor, and it took me a couple tries to figure that out when my light wouldn't go off.

It is great because I HAVE failed to put air in other spares only to have it be flatter than the flat I just blew out once I put it on. :D Spares leak a little air over time and will end up worthless if you don't check them. |

All you can do is reset the pressure that you consider is "normal" for that tire. This is to allow you to change tires which may call for different inflation pressures than your OEM tires. |

Those sensors go bad. My TPMS light was on when my tires were inflated properly according to my gauge, 2 of my dad's and 2 or 3 of my grand-dad's. Last time I had one go bad, I took it to Walmart where I ordered and had my tires put on, they replaced it for me. Light went off. Got a nail in the tire shortly after that, the air leaked out, light came on again, took it and got it plugged (got the road hazard warranty when I got the tires), they re-inflated it, light went off. Everything works as it should. The TPMS sensor cost me $4 when I got it done. I'd hate to think about what it would cost at a dealership stealership.
Most (if not all) cars have a sticker in the door that is printed with what the tires should be inflated to. If it's not there, look in the manual, if you don't have the manual, google it. I guess when they sent him to tire...college, he was sick on tire inflation day...
Also, people can hate on Walmart Tire & Lube Express all they want, but the store I take my vehicles to is the store I used to work at. I've known those guys for 7 years, and trust all of them to work on my vehicle. 2 of them are my best friends, shooting buddies, and fellow ARFcom members. While I can't speak for all of them, and trust me, I know there are some bad TLE's out there, the one I go to is pretty good. All the work I've ever had done has been done right, and I've never had any complaints. |

I would think the Japs would have the same technology as the domestic mfgrs whixh means that the TPMS module or BCM or whatever module they use will store the sensor location of the last few sensor malfunction locations, ie RF, LF, etc..shouldn't be hard to have them tell you which sensor it is and then have them replace it

No idea who that comment was aimed at, but the 3 gauges I have ranged from $10 to $40, and all 3 show the exact same pressure. I'm pretty sure all 3 of them aren't off by TWENTY POUNDS.

Is 55 lbs the maximum inflation printed on the tire?
I did that once when I was a pre-teen for my Grandmother. Didn't hurt anything. Maybe if she would have hit a pot hole they would have bulged or popped, though. I keep my tires at 35 psi in every car. For others I follow directions in the door. For my father I add about 2 psi to the recommendation. Can't believe my 03 Toyota Camry calls for 29 psi. That's quite low. |

Hello, Honda tech here.
Want to know what I know? You say it has a reset button in the car? That means its using the new indirect system. It uses abs sensors to see if one tire is low or not. This system requires calibration, hence the button. Press and hold, light flashes three times. Calibration begins. Calibration takes about 60 miles to complete, foot note here. You must calibrate when: You adjust pressures You rotate tires You change tires Ect... Foot note I've delt with this 60 mile thing before. My thought is its using abs to calibrate So the ideal thing to do is calibrate with 60 miles on straight highway, no turns. Questions? |
