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

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