How Do I Reset the TPMS Light in My Honda?

February 19th, 2019 by

It’s happened to us all at least once. You’re driving and your “Low Pressure” light turns on. You stop your vehicle in a safe place, check the tire pressure and adjust it to the specified level on the label on the driver’s door jamb.  You starting driving again, but the light is still on. Why?!

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System in your Honda monitors the tire pressure while you are driving. If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message appears on the display. Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you need to re-calibrate the system. The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes of cumulative driving at speeds between 30-65 mph. The vehicle must be stopped to begin calibration, and the process finishes automatically.
