323's Build

Well here they are.
They certainly look good, hopefully the programming and installation goes well.

I just wish ours worked like the 2014+, using the ABS instead of sensors

This confuses me. My car being a 2014 doesn't have TPMS sensors? it uses the ABS instead?

Yea you're lucky, I wish they started that with the new generation

So then I can swap wheels with no extra hassle involved? And I'm also wondering how accurate the system is without an actual sensor. I know my TPMS light has come on twice and when I checked the tire pressure immediately following all of the tires were within 2 psi of what they should have been.

Well I'm not too sure, haven't learned too much about the system and how accurate it is but for Honda to put it into it's flagship car, it must work well. And you should be able to switch wheels with no issue, I'm not sure if different tire sizes makes a difference... @webby have you heard anything about it?

 

[Bulkybear]

Pretty sure there is a way to calibrate it from the imid that way if it's off or you change wheels you can rest it to read accurately

I know it can be reset through the iMid. I don't know if there is a way to calibrate or make adjustments to it though.

I'd imagine it calculates the rotations of the wheel in relation to the actual mph the car is traveling. If the tire were low, it'd be turning more times versus a tire that would be fully inflated for the mph you're driving. So, I'd imagine the only scenario where you'd run into issues would be if you put undersized wheels/tires on the car?

That would be genius... Although I thought I remember reading it uses the ABS? Would that mean that the ABS system usually calculates the rotation of the wheels vs. vehicle speed to see when the tires are locked up? So it uses the same system? I'm just thinking out loud.

 

[webby]

I'd think it'd be both. The abs unit could be keeping track of the rotations and talking to the speedo or whatever which is saying.... "hey, you're traveling 40mph, therefore the tire should be turning x amount of times per second"... or whatever. If it's outside the threshold, flip on the dash tpms light. Just my thought.

Makes perfect sense I just never thought of it. The same system must be used to know when the tires are spinning for the traction control. Which means it could've been used in 2012-13 and probably even earlier and tire pressure sensor should've never existed.

I'm just upset because of all the trouble I've gone through recently getting new ones and programming them.

ok here we go - from College hills

Indirect TPMS
Indirect TPMS uses the vehicle’s ABS/VSA (Anti-lock Braking System/Vehicle Stability Assist) wheel speed sensors to calculate tire pressure. This method looks for changes in rotation or resonance that indicates low tire pressure. The system requires calibration any time the tire pressure is adjusted, if a tire is replaced, or if tires have been rotated. Vehicles with indirect TPMS have a calibration button located in the vehicle to initiate the calibration sequence.

As of this post Honda models that have indirect TPMS include the 2013-2015 Accord, 2014-2015 Civic, 2014-2015 CR-V and 2015 Fit.

do you know what clutch you'll go with?

 

[Nomar06]

I had the ABS tpms sensors in the '13 Accord I had. So much nicer to be able to push a button and reset the sensor if there was a change in pressure.

I had to reset the sensors twice. Once in the winter and once in the summer. I thougth it was weird since the tires only dropped 2 psi the entire year. Guess the "extreme" cold and "extreme" heat set them off.

All the Accord "wheel whores" loved the newer sensors since they could change wheels all the time and just reset the sensors really easy and no money involved.

I haven't given it much thought yet, when the time comes I'll have to do my research, read reviews and probably ask for opinions here.

I wish it was that simple...

FX350 is what I plan on going with.
