TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROCEDURES FOR 2008 Honda Pilot AUTOMOBILES
Relearn Procedures -> Memorizing Tire Pressure Sensor ID w/Scan Tool -> Memorizing Tire Pressure Sensor ID Without Scan Tool
Vehicle: 2008 Honda Pilot Value Package 3.5 V6 GAS
When a tire pressure sensor is replaced, the sensor ID must be memorized by the TPMS control unit.
To ensure the control unit memorizes the correct ID, the vehicle with the new sensor must be at least 10 ft. from any other TPMS pressure sensor not installed on that vehicle.
When replacing the TPMS control unit, use a suitably programmed scan tool to memorize IDs.
Memorizing Tire Pressure Sensor ID Without Scan Tool
After rotating the tires or replacing a tire pressure sensor, drive the vehicle for at least 40 seconds at a speed of 15 mph or more. All the sensor IDs will be memor...
