As the title says another change for all 2008 civics -they have TPMS. I wonder how hard it will be to retrofit on 06 and 07s?

[1stk20z3]

wat the hell is TPMS?

[hondasi006]

^^ me too

[AXIS]

tire pressure monitoring system, i knew that was gonna be a change the gov't or someone required it to be standard on all cars as of 08

[Firestrife]

first this is a repost.
second TPMS is Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Third retrofitting would be kind of a waste of time.

[inyong1988]

eh i don't need that anyway.

[hondasi006]

oh yeah 08 required, how does that work with aftermarket rims and tires or does this not affect the system, if it does im sure thats another thing that has to be working for inspection, god i hate nj

Well the monitoring devices go on the Valve Stem but it depends if the rims will accommodate the device and same tire pressure.

[dude]

it will be the same as in the Elements -the warning light will be on until you reach 25mph or more.
One more hassle esp when you change tires-one TPMS valve is about $60 and you need 4...

You cant use aftermarket wheels with the tpms system,unless if you dont mind the tpms light on at all times.

[hondasi006]

damn the crap they come out with! this kinda crap should be optional. its for people that dont maintain their own

[Skylinegtr06]

OMG Im so happy I didnt wait for the next gen, or am I?

[eh_civicracer]

the new 08 si are going to come with the following

HIDs
LED taillights (coupes only)
TPMS
TCS
leather seats and side panels
push start ignition
AVTEC
Fully adjustable damper system
HFP kit already installed
Navigation (plays dvd video,mp3,cd,wma, and sd slot)
high performance bridgestone potenza re 01r 225 45 r17
17in alloys bronze color
brembo 4 piston front calipers with 12.2inch rotors
single piston rear brakes with 12inch rotors
powered and heated seats
automatic climate control
bluetooth plug in
spare tire is 17inch with 215 45 r17
6speed manual with 5.07 final drive
7speed automatic transmission

I think that is it.
If these things are not on the new civic si then o well. all those things are what i want.

Got aftermarket rims on my 2007 Suburban and it has TPMS.

[baz938]

tpms works by detecting different rotation in the tires...well thats how its works on my girls car

[07whitefg]

not every tire pressure system has sensors inside the wheels, and the government doesnt actually require that type of direct monitoring. this other type works by detecting diffrences in wheelspeed for a long duration of time, i.e. if a tire is low on air, it will have a smaller radius than the other tires and hence spin faster. the computer uses the information from the 4WAL (4 wheel anti lock brakes) sensors and determines if the tire is too low. this is how most "lower end" cars will monitor the pressure, although it is my guess that the civic will indeed use the valve stem radio signal type, which are a pain in the ass even if you have stock wheels b/c you have to reset it every tire rotation and every time it has a low tire warning...... the system is not inteded for enthusiests (sp?) like us, but rather people who DGIF (dont give a fu**) about their cars.
