WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- When the vehicle is traveling at more than 28 mph (45 km/h), an RF (radio frequency) band wave signal is transmitted from each tire pressure sensor to the TPMS control unit.
- When the wheels rotate, the tire pressure sensors momentum is detected, switching them from sleep mode to normal function (awake) mode. After the vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes, the sensors switch from normal function mode back to sleep mode to extend their battery life.
- Each tire pressure sensor has its own tire pressure sensor ID to prevent jamming by similar systems on other vehicles. After memorizing all the sensor IDs, the TPMS control unit recognizes only those specific signals.
- A tire pressure sensor ID cannot be memorized automatically. The TPMS control unit knows which sensor ID belongs to each tire pressure sensor. This recurring sensor ID confirmation prevents any confusion in the system as a result of normal tire rotation.NOTE: Be careful not to bend the brackets on the TPMS control unit. Misalignment of the TPMS control unit could interfere with sending and receiving signals.
