if you dont have the sensors, its going to stay on no matter waht you do.
unless you pull the bulb out from the back of the cluster.

any tire shop should be able to do it. if you get the 06-07 hfp wheels you'll need a spacer to put in between the wheel and sensor.

yeah... there's a tpms switch kit that shops will charge, its like 4-8$ a rim. includes like a new gasket and what not, the switch is relatively simple....


other than that and removing the bulb, youll just have to live with it.

i was looking at getting some 18" hfp wheels from college hills of honda. They also sell the sensors for 30 a piece. How much do you think it would cost to get those installed and the tires put on the rims.

FYI each time you install new sensor, the PCM need to recognize the new sensor; otherwise the light will remain ON. Unless you transfer the old sensor from the OE rim over to the new rim. Just gotta make sure the tire shop have the equipment capable of initilize the new sensor
Good luck

Would you need the dealer to take care of that should you decide to get new sensors?

I know OTC make a tool to get the PCM to recognize the new sensor. However since this is a new model Honda I not sure if they cover that. I positively sure you don't need dealer involve to program new sensor
