    • @AlmostAverageAutomotive
      @AlmostAverageAutomotive 2 месяца назад

      Hey thanks for watching, unfortunately parts for these trucks are getting scarce. I find the majority of mine between Rockauto, eBay and Facebook groups. Rockauto has a majority of the drivetrain, brakes and some engine parts like gaskets, rings, spark plugs etc. Body panels is where it gets difficult, that's where I surf FB marketplace and eBay. Seems like there are alot of parts that come out of Thailand and are typically OEM.

    • @AlmostAverageAutomotive

      No unfortunately they way Honda wired the car, the TPMS is tied into both ABS and traction control. If you remove the card or fuse the system see's it as something broke and you will have multiple codes as well as dash lights.

    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.

    • @AlmostAverageAutomotive
      @AlmostAverageAutomotive 6 месяцев назад

      Was it working before you got the tires changed? If so I would take it back to the shop that changed them and have them fix it. If not chances are the sensors need replaced, you don't have to replace the tire but the tire will have to come off in order to replace the sensor since they are built into the valve stem on the rim. If you don't want to do that then refer to the video that is tagged on the short, there is a device you can buy that eliminates the light but you will still have to check the pressure manually.

      I had my TPMS warning beeping in my face when driving for two weeks. Took my car to tire shop and they said rear right TPMS needs replace. Replaced it and still nothing fixed after a week of driving (supposing it’ll relearn the new sensor). Went back in a week later (different tech now) said the front right is not registering so I must replace that too. Now the total cost is $160. I told him the first time was the rear right, 1 week later now it’s the front? So I canceled the service for the front right TPMS and just pulled fuse. Now I’m going to do a delete so I can turn off Traction control which is uselesss cutting engine power when i need momentum to get my a** unstuck in the winter.
