Bulletin Summary

Technician newsletter - TPMS Interference When troubleshooting a TPMS malfunction indicator lamp, it is important to note that sometimes something outside of the system can interfere with the TPMS signal going from the wheels to the receiver. Honda has experienced several cases where the technician has spent countless hours trying to repair a system that is not actually broken. Many aftermarket accessories such as HID lights, cell phone/GPS chargers, and other electrical accessories can emit radio-frequency noise that can interfere (RFI) with the TPMS signal. If the motorcycle is equipped with any of these accessories, make sure to remove/disable them before you begin to verify the problem.

About Technical Service Bulletins

A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
