I appear to be having this exact same problem with only my rear left tire! Guess I'll have it checked for leaks at the upcoming service!

Hello,
I brought the car in to the Honda place twice. It improved slightly but still triggered the TPS every few weeks.
I went to a local tire shop and paid $20 to have them check for leaks. They cleaned the tire and rim seals and remounted the the tire.
This was early summer and it's been good since then.

Barry.

I actually have the same exact problem. The one affected is the rear right tire as well. Light came on, and I checked the pressure and it was at 19 PSI. Filled it up to 32 PSI, and about 5 days later light came back on again, and the right rear tire is down to 25.5 PSI while all the other tires remain fine.


OP, did you ever find out what was the matter with your right rear tire?
The exact same thing and tire is happening to me. What ended up happening with yours?

Hi there, I had this problem for a good long while.. The first time I took it to the dealership and told them about it they checked everything and said there were no issues the techs could find (and I was too lazy to try and make them double check). I eventually went back after a long while for another regular service and had them check again...again they said it was all good - so I told them they need to check more carefully because it is definitely losing air faster than the rest and has been for some time. They ended up finding a nail in the one tire (somehow they missed it....TWICE!). So that ended up being the issue that caused this for me.

A nail with a small head (finish nail), or one that is worn from being in the tread, is very difficult to see even if the tire is off the car.
Had one a few years back that was loosing a pound a week with the other 3 tires loosing none - took quite a while to find a roofing nail with a worn-off head in the tread.
