System Structure: Indicators

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Honda Pilot, 2007 Honda Pilot, and 2006 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Six indicators are in the gauge assembly: The low tire pressure indicator, four tire indicators to show which tire is affected, and the TPMS indicator that comes on only if there's a problem with the system. When two or more tire pressures are low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on about 5 seconds before the appropriate tire indicator. Once low pressure is detected, the system scans all four pressure sensors to ensure that it turns on the correct tire indicator.
