What Does TPMS Mean?

TPMS Light on Dash

Your Honda vehicle is equipped with a number of technology features that make it easier to plan for key services, including the TPMS. The tire pressure monitoring system is pretty much just what it sounds like: a system that monitors your Honda tire pressure! TPMS automatically keeps track of pressure levels in each tire, and then triggers a dash warning light when tire pressure dips lower than the recommended level for your vehicle.

Tire pressure monitoring systems are so effective that most new vehicles have one, and tire failure due to low pressure is a problem that mainly affects older vehicles. Still, we often hear from Appleton and Depere-area drivers who have questions about Honda tire pressure system features, how to perform a Honda TPMS reset after refilling the tires, and when to schedule service for your vehicle. Get the answers you need in the guide below!

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Features

When pressure in any one of your tires drops below the recommended level, the tire pressure monitoring system will warn you with a dashboard warning light. The symbol for TPMS is usually the letters “TPMS” or an icon of a flat tire with an exclamation point in the middle. If your TPMS light comes on, don’t wait to address issues with low Honda tire pressure! Driving with low tire pressure may cause problems like:

  • Poor traction
  • A flat tire or blowout
  • Decreased load carrying capability
  • Reduced fuel economy

Maintaining tire pressure is a quick and simple way to reduce the likeliness of an accident and save money on maintenance in the long run. Consult your owner’s manual for more info about the proper Honda tire pressure levels.

How to Reset Your Honda TPMS Light

After you add air to your tires, the tire pressure monitoring system dash light should turn off on its own. Sometimes this doesn’t happen, but the problem is easy to fix with a Honda TMPS reset. Follow these steps to reset and recalibrate your vehicle’s TPMS:

For vehicles with a touchscreen display:

  1. From the Home screen, select Settings.
  2. Select vehicle.
  3. Select TPMS Calibration.
  4. Select Calibrate.

For vehicles without a touchscreen display:

  1. Use the steering wheel buttons to access the Driver Information Interface.
  2. Scroll to the vehicle Settings screen, and select it.
  3. Select TPMS Calibration.
  4. Select Calibrate.
