tpms, vsa, sensor IDs, reset tools for tpms
Having purchased a 2010 CR-V, I was reading up on tires (or the
changing of tires) and came upon the TPMS problems which led to VSA,
Sensor IDs and reset tools for TPMS. It seems the more I read about
this stuff, the more questions I develop. Before I ask questions,
please don't ask me what the manual says. I've already looked at it
and it doesn't answer my questions.
I think most of my questions might be solved if I can buy a TPMS reset
tool but can anyone educate me on what are Sensor IDs and how do you
read them? Do you have to take the tire off to do this or is there
another way? Is the TPMS reset tool different than a OBDII scanner?
Is there a TPMS reset tool that can automatically input the Sensor ID
values without me doing this manually? There are just the beginning
questions I have on this stuff. Feel free to answer other questions
related to this as I want try to get educated before I have the
problems. I suppose I can ask the dealership but some questions they
may not want to answer like reset tools since it would affect their
bottom line. I've never had a TPMS vehicle so when educating me,
assume I'm a beginner. And any good links on this subject? I've got
a couple URLs for some Honda Forums but they still leave me with some
questions tho I'm still looking for more URLs. Thanks.

Lets get the intimidating jargon out of the way.
TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
VSA = Vehicle Stability Assist
Both come to you at great cost courtesy of your federal NHTSA.
(Wave and say hi to the nice regulators! Hi guys! Hey, you over there, use
ALL your fingers, not just one!)
I think the only way you can reset TPMS/VSA DTC's is with a Honda HDS tool,
or by disconnecting the battery.
DTC = Diagnostic Trouble Code
HDS = Honda Diagnostic System

i could tell you. but you don't like it when i confront you with the
fact that you're a childish attention-seeking freeloading idiot who
can't wipe his own *** or do an effective google search, who clearly
will never be able to contribute anything of any interest or importance,
and who wants experts to donate their hard-earned [and expensive]
knowledge simply for their own childish attention-seeking asinine
entertainment...

actually, they come courtesy of our friends at frod. when they were
about to be rumbled for their deliberate decision to kill people selling
a vehicle they knew to be unstable and whose passenger cell was
susceptible to collapse in the subsequently inevitable rollovers, they
[successfully] bullshitted [and bought] their way out of it by blaming
the vehicle's tires. [sic] tpms was pretty much the inevitable outcome
of the smokescreen and bullshit that they paid to emplace.
no vehicle should roll because of a flat. ever. that our
representatives allowed themselves to be bullshitted so successfully on
the preposterous notion that a mere flat tire can roll a vehicle and
kill it's occupants just beggars belief. but then again, look up who
has the patents on tpms, and it's not the japanese or koreans or
europeans, and you can see flag-waving enter the equation too.

Brian, I didn't want to bother with the filters because from my own
experience and someone else's post, filters aren't perfect. I was
hoping to humilate him into submission but now that I have to say
this, it won't work. In other words, you blew my idea away. Now I
have no choice but to rely on a filter.
To get back on topic.... Hours later after I made my original post
about TPMS, I had to get a car inspected. I was talking to the car
inspection guy about TPMS and the first thing he said to me was that
people hate it. We talked about it and the CR-V with it. He also
cleared up some things that I may have read only one post about
elsewhere. He said in Texas, if the TPMS dash indicator comes on, it
will NOT fail a car inspection (if engine light comes on regardless of
TPMS, it will fail inspection). He also said the CR-V monitors the
spare tire. So far I've read the TPMS can not be reset and it can be
reset by disconnecting the battery so I don't know which is true. He
told me something I also read that if you see it on the dash, deflate
the tire like 10 pounds and reinflate it and then drive it for a
short while (10 minutes or so) and it should go out. Also what I've
read elsewhere is never put tire sealant in the tire if you have TPMS
as it will foul up the TPMS and for the CR-V, changing tires will not
set off the TPMS but changing rims will. This seems to **** off a
lot of people who use snow tires. All this said, I have no idea what
is or is not true.
Sounds to me like TPMS is more hassle than it's worth. Personally
since I never had it before and got by well with out it, it will
likely get in my way now. I've never had to inspect my tires for air
on a daily basis so why I need this monitor now is a joke to me. So
far, my tire gages have worked well for me.
And going a little off topic, this guy was trying to sell me on
Nitrogen in the tires saying it will reduce the false alarms for TPMS.
Elsewhere I've read that most people don't think much of Nitrogen.
Bottom line is I guess I know a little more about it but still some
questions remain so if any one else can add to this TPMS stuff, feel
free to (except for Beam of course). BTW, regarding inspection, that
info was for Texas so other states may vary.

Nothing is perfect (or fool proof), but filtering an annoyance is a
good start. :^)

I have been checking my tire pressure for almost four decades without
any issues regarding tire wear or safety, with a regular tire pressure
gauge. All these new gadgets are for the lazy people in the world.

Air (what surrounds us all) has 78% nitrogen in it, why throw money
away to make it a higher concentration (not 100% either) in tires?

Nothing is perfect (or fool proof), but filtering an annoyance is a
good start. :^)

I have been checking my tire pressure for almost four decades without
any issues regarding tire wear or safety, with a regular tire pressure
gauge. All these new gadgets are for the lazy people in the world.

Brian, I don't know but I'll take your word for it. To try to look at
this on a "simple" basis, I've probably driven 2/3 of the miles I will
ever drive so that leaves 1/3 left. At this point, the cost savings
if any using nitrogen is reduced for me and that's giving them, the
pro nitrogen guys the benefit of the doubt. Likely the truth is
somewhere between what you and I feel and what they feel so you can
see my savings will not be that great. The other factors such as
convenience/inconvenience comes into play vs whatever the savings is.
For example I have an air compressor so I can easily fill up my tires
at home without running to the shop to get more nitrogen. Of course
there are likely some other variables I'm ignoring but I'm trying to
look at this on a simple basis. One idea just popped into my head
but how do you really know how much nitrogen they're pumping into the
tires....ie: 100%, 90% due to the imperfection of their own equipment
such as leaking seals, etc.. ??? So this is why even if they are
correct in theory about saving money, in practice it could be less
than their proposed savings. Last as I said earlier, from what I've
read on the net, I get the impression the majority are not in favor of
it for the every day drivers (non-race car drivers). I remember even
reading this with the corvette owners in their own newsgroup a couple
of years or so ago. So the bottom line is, I think I'll stick with
just air <grin>.
