DTC 32, 34, 36, 38: Tire Pressure Sensor Signal Failure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Inspect for an aftermarket electrical device interfering with the RF signal from the sensors when driving the vehicle (inverter, battery charger, CB radio, etc).

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Make sure all four wheels are TPMS wheels with the mounted tire pressure sensors.
Are TPMS type wheels with a tire pressure sensor mounted on the vehicle?

YES -Go to step 3.

NO -Install the TPMS wheel, and then memorize the pressure sensor ID with the HDS (see MEMORIZING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID ).
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Note the tire pressure sensor(s) number by the indicated DTC.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR REFERENCE

DTC	Tire Pressure Sensor Number
32	No. 1
34	No. 2
36	No. 3
38	No. 4

Do the tire pressure sensor location procedure to determine the affected tire location and relate it to the tire pressure sensor number (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LOCATION ).
Did each tire pressure sensor respond to the TPMS tool?

YES -Go to step 7.

NO -Check for an aftermarket electrical device interfering with the RF signals from the sensors. If there are no electrical devices causing interference, replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ).
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and wait 5 minutes or more.
Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.
Check if the value of the AIR PRESSURE and AIR TEMPERATURE of the affected sensor changes from DEFAULT to the correct tire pressure on the TPMS DATA LIST.
Does the value of the AIR PRESSURE and AIR TEMPERATURE change from DEFAULT to the correct tire pressure?

YES -The system is OK at this time. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

NO -Replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ).
