    Having purchased a 2010 CR-V, I was reading up on tires (or the
    changing of tires) and came upon the TPMS problems which led to VSA,
    Sensor IDs and reset tools for TPMS. It seems the more I read about
    this stuff, the more questions I develop. Before I ask questions,
    please don't ask me what the manual says. I've already looked at it
    and it doesn't answer my questions.

    I think most of my questions might be solved if I can buy a TPMS reset
    tool but can anyone educate me on what are Sensor IDs and how do you
    read them? Do you have to take the tire off to do this or is there
    another way? Is the TPMS reset tool different than a OBDII scanner?
    Is there a TPMS reset tool that can automatically input the Sensor ID
    values without me doing this manually? There are just the beginning
    questions I have on this stuff. Feel free to answer other questions
    related to this as I want try to get educated before I have the
    problems. I suppose I can ask the dealership but some questions they
    may not want to answer like reset tools since it would affect their
    bottom line. I've never had a TPMS vehicle so when educating me,
    assume I'm a beginner. And any good links on this subject? I've got
    a couple URLs for some Honda Forums but they still leave me with some
    questions tho I'm still looking for more URLs. Thanks.

    Lets get the intimidating jargon out of the way.

    TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

    VSA = Vehicle Stability Assist

    Both come to you at great cost courtesy of your federal NHTSA.

    (Wave and say hi to the nice regulators! Hi guys! Hey, you over there, use
    ALL your fingers, not just one!)

    I think the only way you can reset TPMS/VSA DTC's is with a Honda HDS tool,
    or by disconnecting the battery.

    DTC = Diagnostic Trouble Code

    HDS = Honda Diagnostic System

    i could tell you. but you don't like it when i confront you with the
    fact that you're a childish attention-seeking freeloading idiot who
    can't wipe his own ass or do an effective google search, who clearly
    will never be able to contribute anything of any interest or importance,
    and who wants experts to donate their hard-earned [and expensive]
    knowledge simply for their own childish attention-seeking asinine
    entertainment...

    actually, they come courtesy of our friends at frod. when they were
    about to be rumbled for their deliberate decision to kill people selling
    a vehicle they knew to be unstable and whose passenger cell was
    susceptible to collapse in the subsequently inevitable rollovers, they
    [successfully] bullshitted [and bought] their way out of it by blaming
    the vehicle's tires. [sic] tpms was pretty much the inevitable outcome
    of the smokescreen and bullshit that they paid to emplace.

    no vehicle should roll because of a flat. ever. that our
    representatives allowed themselves to be bullshitted so successfully on
    the preposterous notion that a mere flat tire can roll a vehicle and
    kill it's occupants just beggars belief. but then again, look up who
    has the patents on tpms, and it's not the japanese or koreans or
    europeans, and you can see flag-waving enter the equation too.

    Don't bother yourself. I'd rather hear from someone who knows what
    they are talking about.

    Apparently that is a fact, or else you would have blocked him and moved
    on with your life and allowed the rest of us who have him blocked the
    peace and quiet of not seeing his posts.
