CR-V Tire Pressure Monitoring System
I have a 2008 Honda CRV, 50,000 km
When I took my vehilce in for servicing about 8 months ago they said the valves in the tires had sezied. I had a tire warranty so they fixed the problem free of charge.
Since then I have been getting the tire pressure icon on my dash every week or so. I would head to the gas station and top up the tire pressure on 1 tire every time and a few times on a 2nd tire.
Two days ago I bought some new tires because the tread was down to 3/32".
I showed up with the tire pressure warning on. They changed the tires and as I drove off the warning came off the dash.
Last night while I was driving the Tire Pressure Icon came back on.
1. I have new tires
2. The tires were filled about 36 hours prior
What's going on?

I suspect the TPMS is faulty (go figure LOL). The Honda sensors are integral with the valve stem. They can easily be damaged especially during tire removal and installation.
So, seems to me you have had a problem for 8 months and you still have it. You could have a damaged sensor, a faulty schrader valve in the stem and/or you need to go back to the dealer, have them test and calibrate the TPMS. They need to be calibrated.

I have an appointment at 3:30 today.
I just don't want to be cruising around with flat tires or deflated tires all day
