Two days ago, I got in my car and started driving. I realized I had a flat tire, so I pumped it and made sure I didn't hear any leaking air sounds. I proceeded to go to work. Later that same day I find the problem; I see there's a little screw in my tire. I take it out to fix the puncture and pumped it back with air. Then after the fix my TPMS light came on, not the low tire pressure. Just the TPMS light. I have tried checking all my tires and none of them are 2.0 psi less than the recommended. It's getting colder now where I live so I'm not surprised by the little fluctuations. I have driven a few miles over the last two days and still the light hasn't turned off. I don't know what to do anymore.

When you say the TPMS light and not the low tire pressure light, I believe they are one in the same.

I have a question. The ILX wasn't produced until 2013. Can you confirm the model year or model for me?

Let me know.

So when they fixed the tire, they must have damaged the tire pressure sensor which is common. Here is the part you will need to replace. These cars were made since 2013. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
