I am planning to replace the stock rims on a 2005 Honda Pilot LX with rims from a Pilot EX. I'm told the TPMS light will be lit all the time if you do not have the sensors attached. Are they on the inside or outside of the rim and how are they removed? Thanks.

the tpms sensors are attatched to the back of the valve stem....they are easy to replace and easy to break so be careful

Those are quite sensitive and if any tires pressure is out more then 1 lb or so the light will come on so check the tire pressures again and use a good tire pressure checker and be sure they are all the same factory recommended pressure. Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way if it is a sensor issue that vehicle could still be under warranty so check with the dealerships.

most cars use the anti lock brake system to monitor tire pressure. So there is no actual connection to the rims to monitor the pressure, the sensors measure how many times the wheel spins at a certain speed and according to the math a tire is either correctly inflated, underinflated or overinflated. Because tires get "taller" and "shorter" when they have different amounts of air in them.

The sensors are normally part of the valve stem and are on the inside of the wheel. If you can swap them to the new wheels, you will be fine.

If they're anything like the Ridgeline, they're on the outside of the rim. It looks like the base of the valve stem. No idea how you'd remove it. I guess you could just find the fuse for it and pull that.
