System Structure: Wheels

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TSX and 2007 Acura TSX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The TPMS will not work unless TPMS type wheels are installed on the vehicle. The original equipment wheels have a "TPMS" stamp (A) on the back of the wheel, and counterweights (B) cast into the opposite side of the spoke to balance the weight of the tire pressure sensor (C).
