ok so i got a new tpms sensor from honda and programmed it to the car using a tpm tool, now all of a sudden the low tire light just keeps flashing not the actual "TPMS". anyone know why this would be doing this ?

Try drive the car. The light should turn off after. As long as everything is all good. And initialized the tpms sensors . The computer needs to relearn the sensors signal. Just gotta drive it . Over 40 at least. Might turnoff just after 25mph. If doesn't turn off. Need to check for codes.

ok yea im gonna try that tonight, i didnt have time to drive it last night, i used the bartec 400plus and they said on hondas the low tire light will blink indicating that the procedure was done correctly and that you have to drive it to turn it off. so ill let ya know thanks

dedonderosa

all good it turned off as soon as i hit 28mph

Now that you guys are talking about this, I have a question for you.

If I have 2 set's of wheels for my car with the seniors on them, can you switch wheels when ever you want or do you have to program the seniors every time you put them on the car. For example, my stock wheels and a set of aftermarket ones.

thanks

I think it depends on the sensors
The OEM Pacific sensors have individual codes that need to be programmed into the TPMS computer for everything to work right
if you have an aftermarket sensor that can be cloned like an Orange sensor all you have to do is copy an OEM code in to the sensor and simply swap wheels
since the S2000 TPMS has to be programmed via the OBDII port I'm pretty sure you will need the use of a TPMS tool eventually

I ordered an ATEQ VT55 and will know for sure soon!

I was planning to get OEM seniors for the aftermarket wheels. there no way around the TPMS tool, just trying to figure out if I need to reprogram the seniors every-time I change the wheels.

I am not sure if the TPMS module in the S2K can hold more than 4 codes at a time
if you get 4 more OEM sensors, that will be 8 individual codes that you will have.

I called a local Honda stealership and they quoted $130 to reprogram new OEM sensors in the TPMS computer
so I think you will have to reprogram the sensors everytime you change the wheels

oh yeah almost forgot, as long as you know all the codes to the TPMS sensors, I think you can use an ATEQ Quickset
to switch between a "winter" and "summer" set of wheels

also it's "sensors" not "seniors" bro

wow, sorry about that. I can't believe I wrote seniors.

Now if you get 4 aftermarket sensors, don't you have to add a TPMS Module some where in the s2k? Can the ECU take 4 OEM ones and 4 aftermarket ones?

Also, which aftermarket sensors would you go with? just read your posting in the wheels and tires section, thank you.

Thanks for your help
