Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System is a valuable tool, but only if you pay attention when the Honda TPMS Warning Light comes on. When the tire light alerts you to low tire pressure – you will need to address the problem and reset the light.
Please remember that the tire pressure sensors are not a substitute for checking your tire pressure regularly. It won’t light up unless the problem is becoming serious. Underinflated tires can be a safety hazard.
Honda Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems vary, depending on the model type and model year. Furthermore, TPMS systems are not uniform across the spectrum of car brands.
In addition, the technology changes from time to time, meaning that older models may not have the same capability found on new ones. Here’s some good information that may answer some of your questions about TPMS and your tire warning light.
The tire pressure light isn’t required to come on until the tire is 25 percent below recommendations. Therefore, you should never ignore it. The manufacturer’s recommended air pressure is in your owner s manual.
The most likely trigger is cold. Tire pressure drops about 1 psi with every ten degree drop in cold weather. As your tires heat up, the pressure stabilizes. That’s why there are winter and summer standards for properly inflated tires.
Try driving the vehicle at over 28 miles per hour for a few minutes. At that speed, the TPMS will get little or less interference from other sensors and radio frequencies. This allows it to update through the serial data bus, sending the proper tire information to the TPMS sensor.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, systems may flash or stay on longer to indicate a problem with the TPMS system rather than the tire.
After checking that your tires have the proper pressure, you may need a mechanic to read the code and tell you what’s happening.
The spare tire does not have a sensor for the TPMS system to read. The system may register nothing where the tire should be. As long as you are confident that the spare has the correct tire pressure, it should not represent a problem.
Unfortunately, human eyesight cannot detect that a tire is low until the problem is really severe. . Your manufacturer’s recommended pressure is in your owner s manual.
Some people try to clear codes by disconnecting the battery. Generally the system saves all codes and doesn’t reset them just because the battery is removed. This is actually a fail-safe feature because mechanics need those codes to determine what is wrong with a vehicle.
If you are able to clear the TPMS code, you will be overwriting it with a new code.
Unless the system triggers the sensor again, your mechanic will not find the important code.
According to the automotive journalists at Edmunds, a mere 5 PSI can cause a tire to fail. An underinflated tire generates heat as it struggles to keep up with the job it has to do. This causes faster degeneration.
Furthermore, an underinflated tire affects the accuracy of steering and handling. Thus, the vehicle declines in performance and fuel economy.
Direct TPM sensors are attached to the valve for the most accurate reading. With indirect TPMS, the anti-lock brake system assists in determining approximate pressure. Although a good system, it is not as fast as a direct system.
Starting with the 2008 model year, every Honda has TPMS. All cars made before the 2018 probably don’t have this feature.
If you don’t have a light to turn on and warning you, it’s all the more important to carry a gauge to check and add air as needed.

Tell me, has anyone had this problem? Tire pressure sensor lit up! The pressure in the wheels is normal, I didn’t get into the pits, I haven’t changed winter tires yet.It caught fire out of the blue and has been burning for three days already. What should I do? Should I go straight to the dealer or can I wait for T.O. to come up?

Through the i-mid menu, with the engine turned on, activate the tire pressure monitoring system, the indicator will go out, then you need to continue monitoring - a slow puncture may

Everything is logical. The computer counts the number of revolutions of the wheel, and the summer one probably differs in diameter, respectively, and produces a different number of rotations. Just when changing tires, it was necessary to reset the pressure sensor through the menu and activate it againa colleague at work has the same Civic and the same situation!
