I got a question, my tire pressure monitoring system warning light went on last night. I was parked on a slight hill facing upward so when i released the parking break and brake my car rolled back and put the tire into the curb just a little bit, its happen before, but then the TPMS warning light came on. All the tires seem fine right now, so what gives?

 

that is interesting... lol prolly just a glitch

 

I work at Costco Tire shop, so maybe I can answer this question. The TPMS may have registered a tire pressure that well above operating pressure because of the curb compressing the tire some. It shouldn't have been too much difference, though. A mystery.

 

Maybe when you hit the curb you damaged the little tpms.

 

I've had an issue with TPMS once. It was actually the night I bought my Fit. I was driving home when the TPMS light came on (the system light). Turns out when I checked my tire pressure the next day, one of my tires was overinflated by about 10 PSI. I released the air, and after running my car for several minutes, the light went out.

Just thought I'd share the story, hehe.

 

Check your tire pressure when they are cold (as in having not driven the car for 4 hours). IF they are fine then take it to the dealership. If they are low/high then adjust the pressure.

 

the first day of the fit, I had a bad sensor. got it replaced and all better now

 

wow we have a TPMS????

 

When you say alright does that mean you checked tire pressure with a good gauge? And did you bend the wheel so the monitor sensor is no longer aligned? Or crack the eheel?
You need to have a good tire shop or dealer check.

 

Haha, yeah we do.

 

I would say if it stays on or if it comes on again check the tires... the TPMS shouldnt be on unless the tires are below 27psi i believe so that wouldn't make sense if you hit the curb and it went off, because by pushing ur tire on the curb it would force the pressure to raise a bit in certain spots due to basic physics. If you're worried, I would check it out.

 

The '08 fit does, the '07 fit doesn't.

 

yeah, my TPMS came on a cold day this past winter. I added some air and everything was fine.

 

Its required by law now to have them on all new cars.
