| Description of the problem | The tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) warning light came on while driving on freeway. Took car to dealer who checked tires and did not find a problem. Dealer reset/recalibrated tpms by pressing button. Drove car for another 300 miles and tpms warning light came on again. Personally checked pressure in all tires with a manual tire pressure gauge. All four tire pressures were within spec at 33 psi. I reset/recalibrated the tpms by pressing button. Read on the internet that other 2014 honda cr-v owners are having the same problem. Honda does not have a fix for this problem. The tpms warning can not be relied on because it gives false indications. I understand that the tpms on the 2014 honda cr-v is an indirect system. There are no actual pressure sensors. It uses the wheel speed/rotation sensors to determine when there is a tire pressure problem. The computer indicates a problem based on different speeds/rotation of the wheels. I don't know if the sensors are the problem or if it is the computer software. |
