Does anyone know what manufacturer Honda used for their 2009 Honda Fit Sport? I bought my car new from a Honda dealer. I recently broke a valve stem because I used metal caps on the stem and they corroded and seized onto the stem. I went to the dealer this morning and they told me I had an aftermarket TPMS system installed. I asked how that is possible since I bought the car from them. Looking through the owner's manual, it states the the car IS equipped with TPMS not that it may be optional. I had them remove all of the sensors and had them give them to me. The brand on these are TRW.

Google "TRW Tire Pressure". It says that is Honda outsourcing for OEM tire stuff. First and second result

Thanks for the reply, but wen I Google TRW Tire Pressure I do not get any results that show TRW as the OEM manufacturer for Honda. The entire first page of the search results point to various sites that sell that brand and the TRW website. I actually found another forum where someone was having problems with TRW sensors and was told by the Honda dealer that TRW was the OEM manufacturer.

I was able to verify through Honda America that the TPMS on my car is not aftermarket. The service advisor at the dealer told Honda that the metal caps are aftermarket parts. How do you call valve stem caps "aftermarket"? Oh well, I'm stuck with no TPMS monitors now.
