Tire Rotation w/ TPMS - Honda Pilot

BigBlackAv · 06-01-2008, 12:23 PM

I just rotated my tire for the 1st time myself (on my new Pilot) and am trying to find out how to adjust the TPMS to the new tire locations.
I have read w/ aftermarket TPMS you have to tell it the location of each wheel...but, after searching (here and abroad) I can't find any info on how to let the TPMS system know that the front wheel is now the rear, so it reports accruately which tire is low.
I have gathered that it will "learn" new transmitters by driving at 15 mph for 40 seconds ... and right now am assuming that if I drive around it will re-learn the wheels position.
Does anyone have any insite on how this works.
Thanks!

Basically, you got it. The sensors in the wheels are "read" by sensors located nearby that location (say right front). Hence, when the right front tire is moved to the right back and then gets low, the sensor reader (for lack of a precise term) at the right back, tells the system that the right back is low. Hence you will know the correct tire has low pressure. The sensors are far enough apart that they can't be read by another location.

There is nothing to "reteach" the system.
