Have any of you noticed that the TPMS on your IS is too sensitive ? My nag lights came on when I started the car on my way home from the office. They were fine when I drove in. I did a quick visual check and the tires looked normal. Later at home I checked, the fronts were off by 1 psi (34psi) and the rears were dead on (38psi) - WTF ??? Here's the one area where I like Acura's system better, in my Mdx, the lights would also show which tire was reading low. So I put a few psi in the fronts and after driving for about 10 minutes, the nag lights went off. Seems to me that it should take more than 1-2 psi to register a low tire warning light (more like 4-5 psi would be practical). Anyone know if I can adjust the sensitvity of the system ???

 

They are suppose to go off if they are severely low... not just 1 or 2 psi. I mean, the pressures change as you drive and stuff. Also, you have to reinitialize the tires once they are back to normal pressure. just reset it at the menu using the side keys (to the left of the steering wheel...)

 

Hmmm, are you sure about this ? I tried to re-initialize thru the satellite keys when the lights 1st came on, since I felt that the tires were within an 'acceptable' tolerance - nothing happened, nag lights stayed on. I put air in this a.m., so I'll have to check the ambient pressure before I leave the office tonite . . .

 

Mine went off when psi dropped by 5.
