Not running tpms?

[808rallyred]

I was wondering what will happen if I don't put tpms sensors in my new wheel setup which lights will be on?

you will get a tpms error on your imid display when you turn the car on.

And the error will sit there and annoy you on your i-Mid every time you start the car, along with a chime.
It's not worth it.

My winter tires do not have TPMS and I do not think i see either the error or any chime.

I researched a bit and I think Canadian models do not have it which would explain it.

^correct. US models are affected.

lucky canadians!!! the good old lawyers in the states got hold of the ford explorer rollovers, and now its law in the states.....

I wonder if there is a hidden menu via a code to turn it off. I'm sure there is a way to register new TPMS if one ever gets damaged.

Dealerships have a tpms tool to program new sensors. You can also buy 3rd party sensors from online tire shops. They just need programmed by a dealership so the ecu recognizes them.

You can also buy the programmer, which is around 2-300 bucks.

its only my winter setup, i refuse to buy another set of sensors, plus pay the ripoff dealer 100 to program them. maybe if it was a more reasonable charge.

i just let the chime go off, its only when you first start the car.
and you cant turn the traction control off. but oh well

Yeah, you would think Honda be smart enough to have it sense freezing temps and no TPMS installed the car would realize you are using winter tires.
