TPMS Warning Light
Honda Vehicle
Severity: ModerateWhat Does This Error Mean?
The Honda TPMS warning light means one or more tyres are significantly under-inflated. Inflate all four tyres to the pressure shown on the sticker inside the driver's door. On most Honda models you then need to manually reset the TPMS — it does not reset automatically.
Affected Models
- Honda Civic
- Honda CR-V
- Honda Accord
- Honda HR-V
- Honda Pilot
- Honda Ridgeline
- Honda Fit
- Honda Jazz
- Honda Passport
Common Causes
- One or more tyres 25% or more below recommended pressure
- Cold weather causing pressure to drop below the warning threshold
- Slow puncture from nail, screw, or road debris
- TPMS sensor battery dead or sensor damaged during tyre change
How to Fix It
-
Inflate all four tyres to the correct pressure.
Find the recommended pressure on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb. Typical Honda pressures are 32-35 PSI. Check cold — before driving more than a mile.
-
Reset the Honda TPMS after inflating.
Honda TPMS does not reset itself automatically on most models. With the ignition in the ON position (engine off), press and hold the TPMS reset button under the steering column until the TPMS light blinks 3 times. Then drive at 25 mph or above for 10-15 minutes.
-
If the light flashes then stays solid, a sensor is faulty.
A flashing TPMS light that transitions to a solid light indicates a sensor malfunction — usually a dead sensor battery. Sensor replacement is needed at a tyre shop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the TPMS reset button on a Honda?
On most Honda models, the TPMS reset button is located beneath the steering wheel, below the dashboard on the left side. It is a small button labelled TPMS SET. On some newer Honda models with touchscreen interfaces, the reset is done through the vehicle settings menu instead.
Does the Honda CR-V show which tyre is low?
On Honda CR-V models 2017 and newer, the multi-information display can show individual tyre pressures. On older CR-V models, the TPMS light illuminates without identifying the specific low tyre. You need to check all four manually with a gauge.
