TPMS like came on 30 miles after getting 4 new tires

Do I just need to calibrate it. Got the tires from the dealership. I figured they would have done it. The light was off when i left the dealership. After driving 30 miles it came on.

Re-calibrate it after checking the tire pressure. Sometimes tires places and even dealers over or under inflate. I think you should be at 32F/32R.

Thanks. that was it. Back tires had 37psi and front had 40psi

Was that right after driving, or did you give them enough time to cool down?

Good on you for checking yourself, though.

(btw, I'd probably do 35f/32r like what's on our hatchbacks' door jamb stickers; front-heavy weight distribution and all that)

You need to make them all the same, correct inflation at the earliest opportunity then do a follow on recalibration, whether it's throwing a light afterwards or not... that way it should be spot on.

Only one problem, he doesn't have a hatch.

Right, but the weight distribution isn't much different across all the models, whether we're talking about the hatchback, sedan, or coupe. I don't understand why Honda suggests 32f/32r on the non-hatchback cars, because it just doesn't make sense.

I put all 4 on 32 psi and recalibrated it. the light stayed off finally
