#25 of 34 08 Fit, 2 OEM sensors w/ 2 aftermarket sensors possible? by ton16l

Apr 09, 2010 (7:26 am)

I just had 2 rear tires on my 08 Fit replaced. Pep Boys busted the TPMS sensor on one wheel. The manager wasn't around so the issue is still being resolved, but I just noticed on my bill, it looks like they installed "DILL Tire Pressure Monitoring System Component Kit", Qty: 2. That makes me think they put in 2 new sensors for the 2 rear wheels.
 
So if I go to a dealership, can they reset the computer to recognize those 2 new non honda sensors?

Does your owner's manual have a section on doing a "TPMS reset"?

#29 of 34 Update TPM by andysd

I got some good data yesterday that helps me understand the system on my car. On a 2011 Honda Fit, the TPM icon came on. I checked the tires and found 28 all around. I pumped them up to 30, and after about 20 miles, the light went off.
 
Contrary to at least one comment, the spare tire is not monitored.

Further update: the tpm indicator came on again after I pumped the tires to 30, so I pumped them to the specified 33 and the indicator immediately extinguished.

Recapping, with 2011 Honda Fit, TPM light came on, pumped from 28 to 30, light went off after 20 miles. Update: after a couple of days the light came back on, so I pumped to specified 33 psig, and light went off immediately, and has stayed off.

Can your instrument panel or information display (if your car has one) display the actual pressure readings?
