Thank you for your vid! A terrible system by Honda! I was able to install one on my 2012 CR-V. Great communication and fast delivery by 9thgenEE

@AlmostAverageAutomotive Жыл бұрын

I agree! I could deal with a light but not being able to turn off traction control is what did it for me, Also that's good to know it will work on the CR-V, I've had several people ask about them but never could verify.

@kipirvin3462 Жыл бұрын

I got stuck in the snow bc I couldn't turn tc off. I was ready to sell it until I saw your vid lol. He makes them for various years for civic, crz, fit, crv, accord, ilx and crosstour

Thank you so much for making this, I've been looking for something like this for so long. I have a 13 si which I have a set of wheels specifically for track, I didn't bother buying the tpms for them as it was an extra $100, found out the hard way that I could never turn traction off.

@AlmostAverageAutomotive Жыл бұрын

That was the biggest factor for me, especially in the snow! Sometimes that little bit of wheel spin gets you out of a bad situation.

This also works for a 2010 Honda CRV, however the TPMS module is in a different location. In the 2010 CRV the module is to the left of the shifter knob under the center console, to get to it, go down by the gas pedal, remove that side panel, there are 2 screws really easy, look up into the panel look toward the shifter and you will see it, it is difficult to take out, I used a super skinny screw driver the undo one of the tabs then wiggle out the card by wiggling the connector cable, be careful everything is plastic, you can totally do it, it will take you about 30 min because it's in a hard to reach place; but it totally works. No more TPMS light. Thank you so so much.

Am i the only one who remembers a time when checking the tire pressure and the fluids was something you did on a semi-regular basis? Perhaps America needs to be more like Japan where you're tested on Automotive Theory before you can even get a permit or Scandinavian countries where proficiency in basic Automotive maintenance is required!

@AlmostAverageAutomotive 4 ай бұрын

I agree! I regularly check fluids and tire pressures usually whenever I'm fueling up. Believe it or not, I know someone who called a tow truck because their low tire pressure light came on 🤦

The TPMS system on the 9th gen Civic represents everything thats wrong with American automotive regulations. As a 3rd generation autocrosser i competed in my first autocross at 15 and in 35 years of road driving i had never been at fault in an accident (ive been rear ended 3 times)....that was until i got caught out in light snow in my ex's 2012 civic. While trying to go up a hill (25mph zone) the combination of a bad TPMS sensor with traction control and a slushbox transmission turned the car into a semi autonomous driving turd. The car headed straight towards a ditch but luckily a sign post stopped that from happening. I recently picked up a similar 2012 Civic EX to commute in and the first thing i did was order this module. Just came 2 days ago

@AlmostAverageAutomotive 2 ай бұрын

This module is a must, it's ridiculous to me that Honda would tie in so many traction control systems to the tire pressure light. The biggest reason I installed it was because I got stuck in a half inch of snow one day on a very slight incline and the car wouldn't allow me to power through it because of the traction control.

@juanesteban8827 2 ай бұрын

@@AlmostAverageAutomotive I had a very similar experience,. going up a slight incline I started to drift backwards towards the car behind me. I started doing club autocrosses with PCA in a 1970 Porsche 914 almost 30 years ago ( before I even had my driver's license). A 4 speed with proper 3 pedals and no power brakes or power steering or power windows (Only 2 wires to the engine). I was in control and the car responded to every input I gave it. I'm comfortable driving anything but the way my Honda reacted in less than an inch of snow scared the crap out of me. I have a feeling that's why Honda ditched the setup after a year

@maverickperson5443 10 ай бұрын

Curious if you just unplug the sensor would it throw a CEL and work or no?

@AlmostAverageAutomotive 10 ай бұрын

Negative, there's really no way to just disconnect the sensor since they run off of a radio frequency. Only way would be to remove the fuse but then that throws the Christmas lights on the dash. Main reason I did this was to retain the ability to turn off traction control for winter driving, if your tpms light is on the system is permanently on. Therefore if your tires spin, traction control takes over and you have no control over the throttle input.

@AlmostAverageAutomotive 3 ай бұрын

From what I understand, if it is unplugged the car acts as if it has a TPMS fault. Therefore the lights will remain on, only way to get the light off is to trick the system to think all the pressures are correct. I've seen people also do this by removing the sensors, placing them into a PVC pipe and then pressurizing the pipe to 32psi. Once your done, throw them in the trunk and it will also trick the ecm.

I would like to give your guys whoever has the issue with TPMS Honda Civic 2013. So many instructions showing by using traction control to reset but it will never work at all .Especially, Civic 2013 does not have Tire Calibration pressure function on HDMI dashboard, Do this it will save you lot of money because I just did reset Civic 2013 for my daughter with TPMS faulty. There is the reason caused by flat tire or lack of Pressure on of the tire. As you follow this instruction it would take aways TPMS on your cars. 1- Check your tires pressures in all four wheels to make it 35 PSI 2- Rotate your tires Left to Right (Purpose of this step is cheating on CPU ) if the Front didn't help then do it on the REAR. 3- Hit the Information button on steering wheel then hit Menu. 4- Select Maintenance reset then go to Tire Rotation Reset then hit Enter.(This function will take care TPMS reset, this function is available on CIVIC 2013 or maybe 2012 and other models, use this function to reset TPMS instead Tire Calibration on 2014 and further.. 5- Drive the car for 1/4 miles, it will automatic reset the TPMS light. 6- Don't spend anything before you do it. Good luck.
