These damn TPMS sensors are really starting to wear on me. After a suspected dead battery on my winters that are going into their third season (seems early to me but not out of the ordinary) our TPMS system went haywire. I took the vehicle into Honda to replace the sensor and after a day of fiddling around with it they called me to tell me that since they were not Acura/Honda rims or sensors not only would their diagnostics equipment not connect to anything their sensors wouldn't seal to the rim so there is nothing they could do for me. I didn't get charged for the sensor, only $100 for the attempts to unsuccessfully diagnose it.
I took the car back to Blaskin & Lane who we originally bought the rims and tires from and they have been absolutely awesome to deal with. We ended up replacing 2x sensors and reprogrammed one of the sensor's ID's that Honda seemingly erased from a good sensor while they were pissing around.
Now I have 4 good sensors and they are accurately reading my tire pressure. But today the system went off AGAIN! I'm now leaning towards the TPMS control unit being pooched. I've got warranty on the car still but have had nothing but problems with Acura lady taxing my wife when I get her to drop it off because I'm frequently out of town for work.
What are Beyonds' thoughts on this? Do I suck it up and take it to Acura hoping they find something faulty under warranty? Is there a way that you Honda/Acura gurus know to determine WHERE the fault is coming from? Do I keep bothering Blaskin & Lane?
