what the hell is that button that says "set" inside the glovebox on the tc and what does it do?

its for setting you tire pressure sensor.

 

tire pressure monitor, read your manual for more

 

It's to set your level of awesomeness

 

make sure all your tires are set to 32 and hold it in for 10seconds. I had my tires set to the specs on the door and one of them dropped 1lb and caused the light to keep going on - my best advice is to do 32 all around and you are set.

 

I've been pressing it for like half an hour and nothing's happening. Maybe you have to press it in rapid succession.



Yeah, it's the tire pressure sensor reset. I had to push mine after a blew a tire. Even though the tire pressure sensor didn't even show up until I was riding on a rim.

Which reminds me, I need to have the dealership check that.

 

So this isn't automatically set from the factory or dealer at 32psi?

 

thats the "dust honda's" button....press dat when ur at a lite wit a civic and u'll see.....muuhhaaaahhahahhahaha

 

look inside your drivers door - it says i think to set the either the front or back to 29 and the other to 32

It depends on the year how the car measures the pressure difference. On the 05-06 it is a different system. It only measures rotational difference. If it notices a difference in the rotational speed of any of the tires it will trigger the light. If all of the tires lose air at the same time it will not notice a difference in rotational speed. On the 07 it is an actual pressure sensor that notices a drop in individual tire pressure.

 

nice post - i had no clue.

 

yes.. '07's have an entirely different ecu along with tire pressure monitoring

make sure when you change rims, that you remove the sensors from your old wheels and transfer them into the new one. otherwise you'll have a very unhappy car.

 

'05 models are different than '06 and up

...because the 06 and later have the steering wheel controls.
You have to hold down VOLUME DOWN while pressing the SET BUTTON in the glovebox. If your arms don't reach, try with your big toe on your right foot.

Put the key in the ACC position, then Press that combo 3 times and you get infinite life and all weapons.
