Honda Jazz tyre deflation system - is there a problem?
I bought a Honda Jazz nine months ago, and for most of this time the tyre deflation system has been giving false warnings. This recurs every day or so after it has been reset.
The Honda dealer has looked at it several times, but can't find an actual fault. They do say mine is not the only car with the problem, and that Honda are aware of it. However, there has been no progress in nine months. Do you have any information on this, and should it be listed as a problem in your Jazz review?

The system is quite sensitive and will register a disparity in pressures between the tyres of as little as 4PSI, which is around the amount that pressures increase after the car is driven for around 50 miles. So it works with increases in pressure as well as decreases. I had a bit of fiddling about with my Honda HR-V, but, once I got the pressures equalised and cancelled the TPMS warning, it has remained okay.
