| Hi. I was just wondering if the tire pressure indicator is built-in the 09 Pilot? The 08 Odyssey has them. Anyone? |

the touring has it. including the tire pressure reading
i am not sure if the LX and EX have it |

| Hey, thanks for the info. |

| EX-L has it but it doesn't give individual tire pressure readings |
|

| I think ALL cars/light trucks are required to have it at this point. |

The tire pressure indicator on my '08 Pilot is VERY sensitive such that I'd like to turn it off. Last night the temperature went just below freezing and today the front two tires were showing a warning -- they may have been down .5 lbs to 31.5 psi because of the drop in temperature.
I will not be a happy camper if this happens every day or so in winter. It seems like a good idea to warn drivers about under inflated tires but this is just silly. I wonder if it can be reset to show a warning at -2 psi.
A mechanic at my local dealer told me of a good customers (senior citizen) who came back just after having an oil change to get the tire pressure adjusted because of this super sensitive indicator. This is not a good use of anyone's time and effort. <sigh>

Pressure is directly correlated to temperature: P=(nRT)/V where T is temperature and P is pressure.
Why don't you crank up the cold pressure psi to 34-35psi so when it does drop .5psi you will still be above the tolerance level.
Safer to have a higher PSI than lower, IMHO.

Another thought is to just do some highway driving assuming the pressure will increase as the tires warm up. btw, I still think the sensor is too sensitive. :)

| just was wondering if the tire on 2008 pilot will fit 2009 pilot? was thinking getting a full size spare instead of the factory spare. any thoughts and comments would be appreciated. thank-you |

So I just had my first indicator experience.
My light came on and the little warning light for the rear passenger tire came on.
I checked all 4 tires and everyone was in around 29 to 28psi. The right rear was 24PSI so my 09 is not super sensitive. |

| Had our first freeze last week and the sensor warning came on, glad it did, my pressure dropped to about 26 in all tires, put it up at 32psi (per my pressure guage) and now the sensor reads all 4 a 30-31 psi and no more warnings. Seems pretty accurate and only gave warning when needed. |

They shouldn't go off at 31.5. Either the monitors are mis-calibrated or the pressure gauge you're using to fill them is. Since you're having two tires show low, I'd suspect your pressure gauge.

Hello again...
My local/friendly dealer/technician says the tire pressure monitor can be very sensitive.
Your suggestion is a good one, Mark, so I checked the gauge with a couple of others and it seems accurate. I haven't had any recent problems, but then it hasn't got that cold again.
FWIW, I bought a set of Goodyear Fortera TripleTred for my new Pilot and put the new Goodyear OEM Intergity tires in storage for a time when I might trade/sell my vehicle.
My other pet peeve is the maintenance light which comes on every time I start the engine although there is/was still 15% oil life left. I really don't want/need all the reminders.
Cheers, Stephen |
