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.

Learn how to reset the tire warning light with this step-by-step guide and get back to normal. Instructions To Reset the Honda TPMS Warning Light
Posted in Features, Model Information, Service, Tips and Tricks | No Comments »
The following is a guide that will walk you about how to calibrate, as well as reset or relearn, the tire pressure monitoring system that comes standard on Honda Civic vehicles.
A step-by-step guide that is very simple to understand and implement, which will help you successfully reset the TPMS.
NOTE: A warning light will turn on on your dashboard whenever the TPMS detects that your tires have the incorrect amount of air pressure. When the light remains constant, it indicates that you need to have the pressure in your tires checked.
Please follow the instructions below on how to reset or relearn the TPMS tire pressure monitoring system on the Honda Civic from the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
1. Inflate all tires to the pressure listed on the vehicle placard.
2. Select OBD II (PERFORM RELEARN using TPMS Scan tool) from your Tool’s menu.
3. Starting with the LF tire, use your Tool to scan each sensor in the following order: LF, RF, RR, LR (and full size spare if equipped).
4. After all sensor IDs have been read, turn ignition to the ON position with the engine OFF (not the ACC position).
5. Connect the OBD II Connector to the Tool then to the vehicle’s OBD II port. Make sure your connection is secure and the green light is on.
6. Select UPLOAD CAR IDS, from the Tool’s menu, and upload the sensor IDs.
7. When RELEARN COMPLETE / IDs UPLOADED TO CAR is displayed, the ID’s have been successfully uploaded.
8. Drive the vehicle above 25 MPH, for 10 – 45 minutes, and monitor the low tire pressure monitor MIL, to ensure it goes off during the drive cycle.
1. Ensure tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the tire placard.
2. Drive vehicle for at least 12 minutes above 30mph in order for system to learn new sensor IDs.
This is a straightforward guide that will walk you through the process of resetting the tire pressure low warning or the TPMS reminder on your Honda Civic model year 206, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will automatically calibrate itself once you choose the CALIBRATE button, at which point the Tire pressure low notification will no longer appear.
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.
• Rotate the tires.
• Replace one or more tires.
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and comfort.
Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or specification’s page for the specified pressure.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from overheating. Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards, and wear unevenly.
Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in all tires, including the spare *. Even tires in good condition can lose 1 to 2 psi (10 to 20 kPa, 0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm2) per month.

Honda Civic - Video Lesson Model: Honda Civic MK 9 - Years 2012-2015 Today we will see how to reset the Honda Civic tire pressure warning light from 2012 to 2019. Before performing the reset operation of the signaling device, it is necessary to solve any problem associated with a change in pressure in one or more tires, which led to the fact that, in fact, when the light itself lights up. Then we go inside the car and turn on the ignition: using the controls on the steering wheel, we go to the panel menu and scroll with the arrows until we reach the "settings" item.

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!

There was such garbage, but after it sank a bit at speed, I drove to the service, measured the pressure, they said everything was ok. rebooted the sensor through the menu - everything disappeared, since then it has not bothered yet)

In general, the sensors do not light up, the indicators light up.and there are no sensors in the wheels.
