Low Tire Pressure warning

[accord_tsx]

My low tire pressure warning came on. All 4 tires measure 30psi (2 gauges, same reading)

1) Is this the normal level to trip the TPMS indicator?

2) Any easy way to see which sensor is indicating a problem other then adding a few pounds to each tire one at a time?
Thanks

I was told by my dealer the tpms system will go off with a 20% decrease in pressure. I had mine go off this weekend when the weather changed drastically. aired it up. the system took a bit to shut off so after airing it up i drove it a bit and it shut off.

I hate the TPMS. My Nissan Titan had an annoying problem with the light coming on constantly. Now my wife's Rogue is doing it too. Nothing seems to help. I hate the fact that my new Civic has the system. I wish they would just do away with it. I ended up putting electrical tape over the little light with the Titan, hope I don't have to do the same with the Civic!!!!! NOTE TO CAR MAKERS...GET RID OF IT

^ FMVSS 138... I think. It's not going away, it's now a mandatory law (in the US) that requires every car made in and after 2008 will have to have TPMS installed. It is a hassle, it makes changing tires a bit more of a hassle at times.

TSX displays the actual pressure for each tire so it doesn't suck as much. I brought all of the tires up to 32 from the original 30 and after about 30 miles the light cleared and has stayed off. I have a feeling this will be a problem in the winter.

Don't let your tires get low and it won't be an issue, I check mine once a month

Im guessing putting tape over the light or removing the bulb from behind the dash wont help... as your trusty I-mid will be there with its warning Notificationnn to remind you your tire pressure is not what its suppose to be... so unless you put tape over the imid screen......... yea

Is it your "TPMS" light or the low pressure icon?
TPMS indicates a communication error between your car and the sensors and can be triggered by things like hydro towers, cell phone chargers and even tinted windows.

Low pressure warnings can register at as little as 6% below normal, in the case of 32psi, 6% would be 30psi, as far as I understand, this is the case.
