Tire Pressure Sensor

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.

Each sensor is an integrated unit made up of the tire valve stem, a pressure sensor, and a transmitter. The unit is attached to the inside of the wheel, around the valve stem. The sensor transmits the internal tire information to the TPMS control unit once every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 28 mph (45 km/h). When the TPMS control unit receives a tire pressure signal that is less than: With 17 inch wheels 183 kPa (1.9 kgf/cm2 , 27 psi) or with 18 inch wheels 190 kPa (1.9 kgf/cm2 , 28 psi), the TPMS control unit then turns on the low tire pressure indicator or the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator. When that tire's pressure is increased to more than: With 17 inch wheels 210 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm2 , 30 psi) or with 18 inch wheels 220 kPa (2.2 kgf/cm2 , 32 psi), and the vehicle is driven above 28 mph (45 km/h) the transmitter sends the tire pressure signal to the TPMS control unit, and then the TPMS control unit turns the indicator off.

NOTE: Do not mix the tire pressure sensors or TPMS wheels with other TPMS types. Be sure to use the correct sensors and wheels for this system.
