Ive heard a lot about this, but theres no excuse for mine. Bought a 2018 si a couple weeks ago. Tires were low when I got the car, 28-30 on all around but a cold front just came in then, filled them up to 33 front 32 rear, came on again twice more. I called honda and I brought it in saturday morning, it was really cold again that morning and I checked the tires before I left, fronts were down to 30 but they probably had a little bit of heat in them when I filled them, they didnt leak. When I got to honda they just filled them up to 35 and had me reset the tpms 3 times, they said it usually trips at 30 so they put a few extra psi in them, especially during winter, and that the tpms stores data for 3 calibrations. Ok, makes sense. Drove a lot saturday, didnt come on, next day it came on within 20mi, checked them at 35 and the right rear almost 40, later it came on again in under 75mi and they were all 35. Im going to call honda again, but I live pretty far away from the dealer, they will probably want to check the alignment. The car drives straight as an arrow with no vibrations or tire wear, but since it will be a few days before I get it checked out I want to know if there is any way I can monitor the wheel speed sensors to see if I can see one that might trip the tpms? If there is something wrong with the alignment that right rear sticks out, see the previous owner was ran on a curb and had to replace that tire. I would have assumed theyd have checked the alignment then and the other tires had so few miles on them you cant even tell that tire is any newer.
Is the tpms seriously that unreliable or do you think there is a problem with the car?
