SUBJECT VEHICLE: Honda Accord and Crosstour, 2008-2013.
RELEARN PROCEDURE? Yes. When a tire pressure sensor or control unit is replaced, or a known good wheel is substituted, the ID(s) of all four tires’ sensors must be memorized by the TPMS control unit. After memorizing the sensor ID(s) or doing a tire rotation, the mounting location of sensors 1, 2, 3 and 4 must be determined.
SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED? Yes – scan and TPMS sensor tools. NOTE: The Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) or an OBD-II compatible scan tool and a TPMS sensor tool must be used to program information into the new TPMS control unit.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on the 2008-2013 Honda Accord and Crosstour consists of a low tire pressure indicator, TPMS indicator, and TPMS control unit. The TPMS control unit monitors all four tires, the system, and alerts the driver if there is a large change in the tire pressure or a system problem by illuminating the appropriate indicator.
When the vehicle speed exceeds 28 mph (45 km/h), the tire pressure sensor begins to transmit.
The tire pressure sensor transmits its ID and tire pressure, using a RF (radio frequency) signal, to the TPMS control unit once every 60 seconds. In this stage the tire pressure sensors enter into “normal function mode.”
When the vehicle is stationary for five minutes or more, the tire pressure sensors enter into “sleep mode” to reserve the battery life. Each sensor is an integrated unit made up of the tire valve stem, a pressure sensor, and a transmitter. The unit is attached to the inside of the wheel, around the valve stem. Each low pressure sensor has its own ID to prevent jamming by similar systems on other vehicles. After memorizing all of the sensor ID(s), the control unit receives only those specific signals.
NOTE: Tire pressure sensor ID memorizing is required if the TPMS control unit or sensor is replaced.
Tire pressure monitor warning indicators
NOTE: Tire pressures will increase slightly as the temperature in the tires rises during driving at highway speeds.
Pressures will also increase or decrease slightly with changes in outside air temperature.
A temperature change of about 18 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) will change tire pressure by about 1.5 psi (10 kPa). If the outside temperature drops, the tire pressure could decrease just enough to turn on the low tire pressure indicator. After the outside temperature increases the low tire pressure indicator will turn off.
To resolve a complaint of such intermittent indications, confirm and clear the stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)and check the tire pressures. Then explain to the customer how temperature changes can affect the system, especially when tire pressures are near the low end of the TPMS normal range between 24 and 32 psi (168 to 220 kPa). NOTE: If the outside temperature is at or below -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C), the system may not function properly.
If the TPMS control unit detects less than 24 psi (168 kPa) in a 16-inch tire or 25 psi (175 kPa) in a 17-inch tire, it alerts the driver by turning on the low pressure indicator and setting a DTC in the control unit.
When the tire pressure is increased to more than 28 psi (190 kPa) in a 16-inch tire or 29 psi (200 kPa) in a 17-inch tire, and the vehicle is driven above 28 mph, the control unit will turn off the indicators and store the DTC(s) after the transmitter has sent the tire pressure signal to it. The TPMS indicator will come on if the following has occurred.
NOTE: If a flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the TPMS indicator will come on, and DTC(s) will be set, because the system is no longer receiving the signal from the flat tire’s transmitter. This does not indicate a problem with the spare tire.
Reset procedures
NOTE: When a tire pressure sensor or control unit is replaced, or a known good wheel is substituted, the ID(s) of all four tires’ sensors must be memorized by the TPMS control unit (see memorizing sensor ID).
After memorizing the sensor ID(s) or doing a tire rotation, the mounting location of sensors 1, 2, 3 and 4 must be determined. When the “activate sensor” signal is sent to each wheel using the required tool, or the TPMS sensor tool in sequence, the tire pressure sensors can be located by the reaction sensor number (see sensor location).
NOTE: The Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) or an OBD-II compatible scan tool and a sensor tool must be used to program information into the new TPMS control unit with both of the reset procedures.
If the low tire pressure indicator is lit continuously due to low pressure in one or more tires, adjust tire inflation to the proper pressure as indicated on the tire and loading information placard. The light will go out once the tire pressure is properly set, and the vehicle is driven above 28 mph.
Tire pressure sensor memorization
NOTE: To ensure the control unit memorizes the correct ID, the vehicle with the new sensor must be at least 3 m (10 ft.
) from any other TPMS pressure sensor not installed on that vehicle.
1) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and wait five minutes for the tire pressure sensor to enter into “sleep mode.”
2) Connect the HDS to the Data Link Connector (DLC) located under the left side of the dashboard.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON position, and verify that HDS is communicating with the TPMS control unit.
4) Select “Sensor ID Learning” on the HDS tool.
NOTE: If the vehicle’s ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position before all sensors are memorized, the memorizing ID is canceled.
5) After turning on, hold the TPMS sensor tool near one wheel, and memorize the pressure sensor ID by following the screen prompts on the HDS. If the TPMS control unit is still having trouble learning ID(s), refer to appropriate service information.
6) Repeat step 5 for each wheel until all four sensor ID(s) are memorized. When all are memorized, the low tire pressure indicator will blink.
7) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and disconnect the HDS from the Data Link Connector (DLC).
8) Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least one minute. Monitor the low pressure indicator to be certain it does not blink.
9) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, reduce the pressure in one tire until it is below 24 to 25 psi then turn the ignition switch ON.
10) Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least one minute. Verify that the low pressure indicator turns on, and then re-inflate the tire.
11) Repeat steps 9 and 10 for all other tires. Clear any DTC(s) with the HDS.
[PAGEBREAK]
Sensor location
1) With the ignition in the LOCK position, connect the HDS to the DLC located under the left side of the dashboard.
2) Turn the ignition switch ON, and verify that the HDS is communicating with the TPMS control unit.
3) Bring up the TPMS DATA LIST, scroll down to the bottom, and locate the four tire pressure sensor ID numbers.
These are the sensor ID numbers currently assigned to each tire location.
NOTE: Initialize the wheels in the following order: left front (LF), left rear (LR), right-rear (RR), right front (RF).
4) Follow the prompts on the HDS to activate the tire pressure sensors using the TPMS sensor tool. Start with the left-front (LF) wheel.
NOTE: If the tire pressure sensor does not respond to the TPMS sensor initializer, rotate the tire 1/4 turn and repeat Step 5. If the tire pressure sensor does not respond after a complete rotation with the current tire and switching the tire to a good known location, replace the tire pressure sensor.
5) Check the HDS screen, and note the active sensor reception order of tire pressure sensors 1, 2, 3 and 4.
6) Note the sensor location for future reference.
7) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Demounting/mounting procedures
CAUTION: The tire should be demounted from the wheel using the tire changer manufacturer’s instructions.
Use the following information to avoid damage during the demounting/mounting procedures.
NOTE: When a tire pressure sensor is replaced, the sensor ID must be memorized by the TPMS control unit. See RESET PROCEDURES.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the TPMS must use wheels made for the system, or the system will not work. On all models, a “TPMS” mark is visible on the wheel, and a counterweight is cast into the opposite side of the spoke to balance the weight of the sensor.
Tire pressure sensor removal
CAUTION: Fluid sealant used to repair a punctured tire can damage the tire pressure sensor mounted on each wheel. It can prevent the system from detecting the correct tire pressure and set a DTC, even though the system is normal.
1) Raise the vehicle and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2) Remove wheel with faulty sensor.
3) Remove the tire valve cap and valve core, and let the tire deflate.
4) Remove any balance weights, and then remove the tire from the wheel with a tire changer.
Note these items to avoid damaging the tire pressure sensor:
5) Remove the valve stem nut and washer, and then remove the tire pressure sensor with valve stem from the wheel.
NOTE: The valve stem grommet might stay in the wheel; make sure to remove it.
6) Remove and discard the valve stem grommet from the tire pressure sensor (see Figure 3). NOTE: Use a new nut, valve stem and screw.
1) Clean the mating surfaces on the sensor and the wheel before installing tire pressure sensor.
2) Install tire pressure sensor and washer to the wheel, and tighten valve stem nut finger tight.
Make sure sensor is resting on the wheel (see Figure 4).
3) Lube the tire bead, and position the wheel so the tire machine and tire iron are next to the valve stem and will move away from it when the machine starts. Then install the tire onto the wheel (see Figure 2).
NOTE: Make sure the tire bead is seated on both sides of the rim uniformly.
4) Inflate the tire to 44 psi (300 kPa) to seat the tire bead to the rim, then adjust the tire pressure to specification as indicated on the tire and loading information placard, and install the valve stem cap.
5) Check and adjust the wheel balance, and then install the wheels on the vehicle.
6) Remove the safety stands and lower the vehicle.
7) Memorize the pressure sensor ID(s). See reset procedures. ■

You are the proud owner of a recent car, the benefits of tactile gadgets, the integrated technologies should bring you a significant usability of your Honda Accord, however, it says that the technology is talking about electronic, and as we all unfortunately know , in some cases problems that need to be fixed. Today we will focus on the tire pressure sensor and specifically on the tire pressure sensor. how to reset the tire pressure sensor on a Honda Accord so that this indicator never appears on the dashboard again. In order to achieve this, we will divide our article into two parts: first we will focus on the classic situation where the tire pressure indicator light occurs and the subsequent process, and then on the circumstance that the tire pressure indicator remains on even if the tires are inflated.
So how to reset this tire sensor on honda accord.
First, we will focus on the classic way to reset a tire sensor on a Honda Accord, which if it lights up, here are the basic tricks: tire pressure indicators on your Honda Accord, get out of the way immediately if you are driving on the highway, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel just in case.
The indicator light should have gone out or gone out after a few seconds. . If this is not the case, we advise you to go through the next section. Now that you have tried the normal process of removing the tire pressure sensor on the Honda Accord, and this didn't work, we'll move on to the second alternative, which is to have the tires on my Honda Accord well inflated and I still want that light to go out. This almost certainly means you have Faulty tire pressure sensor. For this important reset the value on the dashboard of your car. However, be careful not to do this while driving as pressure fluctuations will interfere with your sensors. In most cases, you need to go through the car configurations, then you should find an option for inflation detection or "deflation detection".
While on this tab, you must hold down the Select or Reset button, depending on the year of your Honda Accord, until a message appears from the car console confirming that the reset is being taken into account (usually takes a few seconds). You can now turn off the ignition and restart your Honda Accord to see if the tire pressure light has gone out.
If you have any further questions about the Honda Accord, do not hesitate to contact us. Honda Accord category.

The article says:
When the tires are optimally inflated, the low tire pressure indicator (TPMS) does not light up on the vehicle's dashboard. However, in some cases, it lights up even if the pressure is normal. This can't help but be annoying, especially when the tires are inflated normally. In our article today, we will figure out how to reset a tire pressure error.
American and European scientists conducted a study, during which it was found that most drivers do not check whether the wheels are properly inflated before getting behind the wheel of a car.
Only 40% of car owners perform such a check - and even then only once every 12 months. This is the reason for a large number of accidents.
The TPMS (Tyre pressure monitoring system) system is designed to monitor tire pressure, as well as warn of a malfunction. If the tires are under-inflated or over-inflated, an error will be displayed on the remote control or an audible signal will appear.
What is dangerous too high or, conversely, low pressure? The risk of an accident increases, the car begins to consume more fuel, in addition, the rubber wears out faster.

The above devices operate on the same principle. Let's figure out how information about what tire pressure gets to the control panel.
Consider how pressure is calculated by measuring instruments. Typically, the sensor performs a comparison of the angular rotation of the wheel. Knowing the value of this parameter, you can calculate the distance that the wheel will travel in one rotation.
Obviously, if the tires are under-inflated or over-inflated, then the outer diameter of the wheel will be different.
Visually, a person cannot determine this change. But the sensor notices even such changes. The system fixes non-compliance with the required parameters.
The sensor will still respond, despite the fact that the wheel circumference has changed quite a bit. In this situation, it is necessary to find out what mechanical reason led to this. Only in this way can you eliminate the misinterpretation of the signals transmitted by the system. This can happen because:
Also, the TPMS system gives an error when you install new wheels or rearrange them.
When, after these steps, a tire pressure error appeared, indicating unbalance, you should reset the settings, and then set the basic parameters. In this case, the control signal may remain even if the basic settings have been selected.
Why such problems may occur:

How to reset tire pressure error? To begin with, imagine that the TPMS system is working properly and the blinking light indicates a problem with the undercarriage of the machine.
The first thing you should do is slowly release the gas. You can not brake sharply, turn the steering wheel. After the car has stopped, inspect the tires to make sure the rubber is not punctured or broken. Then you can check if the tire pressure is normal.
Pay attention! The TPMS will not always show a tire pressure error. For example, if the tires are slowly deflating, the system will not inform you about the problem. In the same way, she will not notice the error if the tire pressure starts to drop rapidly. This usually happens when a tire ruptures. This feature of the TPMS system is explained by the specifics of identifying and counting nonconformities.
However, in some cases, it happens that the TPMS system indicator is on, but the tires are in perfect condition. How to reset tire pressure error? We understand.
The complex TPMS system in some cases starts to work incorrectly.
Usually, car owners observe the following picture: a tire pressure error is displayed on the display (the tire is underinflated), but in reality everything is fine with the wheel. You have to reset the tire pressure error. Otherwise, the TPMS system starts to work incorrectly.

You also have to reset the tire pressure error when there is radio interference from high voltage power lines. Or when sources of radio signals are located in the immediate vicinity. But as soon as you move away from them, the pressure error disappears and the system begins to function properly.
The reason for the malfunction may lie in the sensor, which is "failed". This damage cannot be easily repaired. How to reset a tire pressure error if the sensor flashes, while you hear a beep, lose your vigilance and find it difficult to drive a car? There are 4 ways to fix this problem.
To reset the error, pick up a speed of 80 km / h and continue driving for another 15 kilometers.
This method is the easiest to implement. If your car has this feature, then turn on the cruise control so that the speed does not change. Depending on the model of your car, you will be able to reset the tire pressure error at a speed that exceeds the specified one. After you cover a distance of 15-20 kilometers, maintaining the same speed of 80 km / h, make a stop. Turn off the motor. When you start it again, the tire pressure error will disappear.

Press the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) reset button on your car and you will be able to reset the error.
It does not matter what type of low pressure warning system is used. In any case, there will be a sensor on each wheel of your car. Sometimes it may be necessary to reboot the touch system of the car. Read the owner's manual for the vehicle. It contains information on how to reset a tire pressure error. Most often, the instructions indicate which button to press to reset.
The ignition key must be in the lock. No need to start the car, just turn it to the “on” (“ON”) position. Then press and hold the reset button, which may be under the steering wheel. We are waiting for the low pressure indicator to flash 3 times. After that, you can release the button. We start the car, it should work for 20 minutes. After this time, the computer will calibrate the sensors on the wheels. Now you can turn off the car.

Lower and then re-inflate the wheels.
Failed to reset tire pressure error using the previous method? Then we inflate all tires to 0.2 bar, this is the pressure that should be according to the recommendations of car manufacturers. Did the error go away? Then we lower the pressure in the tires completely.
Now we pump up the wheels again. The pressure in them should be the same as indicated on the driver's door pillar or in the car's operating instructions. When there are sensors on the wheels, you need to remember about the spare tire. Now you need to drive about 3-5 kilometers, adhering to a speed of 25 km per hour. So you can reset the tire pressure error.
Remove the battery terminals and then connect it to reset the error.
Each car has a computer that receives data from all kinds of vehicle sensors, including TPMS system sensors. However, any electronics can fail. To reset the error, you will have to reboot the system, for which you need to turn off the power.

To do this, open the hood. The battery is located under the hood. Disconnect the negative terminal from it. To perform this operation, use a wrench. Then sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the "ON" position, but do not start the car. Now you need to press the signal for 3 seconds. This will use up the energy that remains in the electrical system of the machine. Then reconnect the battery. This way you can reset the error.
Sensors keep track of tire pressure. However, you need to be sure that they function properly. Of course, you do not need to constantly walk around with a special measuring device and find out the status of the sensors. It just needs to be calibrated from time to time.
It is performed quite simply. The most important thing to remember is that, depending on the make and model of your car, for each wheel there are pressure parameters strictly defined by the manufacturer for winter and summer.
These values should be given to the sensors. How the installation and configuration will be performed depends on the controller used.
Experts do not recommend using the internal controller yourself. However, additional settings are not required if the data is read using the screen that is directly on the control system. For current promotions on the Halva card, which will help you profitably purchase household appliances, you can follow here.
To prevent a tire pressure error from appearing, it is important to calibrate (adjust the TPMS system) every time a change is made. For example, when you installed a new set of wheels, repaired tires, did balancing, and the like. Using TPMS controllers is quite simple. The main thing is to read the instructions for use of the device. And make sure that the tire pressure is the one recommended by the car manufacturer.
