Problems That are Not System Faults
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Honda Pilot, 2007 Honda Pilot, and 2006 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Tire Sealant
Fluid sealant used to repair a punctured tire can permanently damage the tire pressure sensor mounted on each wheel. It can prevent the system from detecting the correct tire pressure, which sets a DTC 11, 13, 15 or 17 even though the system is normal.
- Cold Weather
When the weather is extremely cold - about - 40°F (-40°) or colder - the output of the lithium battery in each tire pressure sensor may drop far enough that the control unit sets a DTC for low battery voltage (31, 33, 35, or 37) even though the system is normal.
- Non-TPMS Wheels
Vehicles equipped with TPMS must use wheels made for the system. Every TPMS wheel is marked with the letters TPMS; do not use any other type of wheel.
