Yes, but only on models that offer a per-tire readout. The 2017 Civic uses a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to warn you if any tire is low, and on trims with a digital display you can often see the exact tire pressures for each wheel to identify which tire is low. On base trims without that readout, the warning is generic and you’ll need to check the tires manually.
How the Civic’s TPMS works this year
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors each wheel with sensors and triggers a warning light when any tire falls below the recommended cold-inflation pressure. The door jamb placard on the driver’s side door provides the recommended PSI for your tires. In many mid- to high-trim Civic models, the instrument cluster or infotainment display can also show the current pressure for each tire, making it easier to identify which one is low.
Accessing per-tire readings (if your trim supports it)
To identify the low tire on compatible trims, you can display the tire pressures on the digital display or multi-information display by using the steering wheel controls. The exact path varies by year and trim, but the goal is to reach a Tire Pressure or Vehicle Information screen.
- Turn the ignition to ON (the engine need not be running) and press the INFO or HOME button on the steering wheel to wake the driver information display.
- Use the left/right selectors to highlight Tire Pressure or a similar readout option, then press OK/Enter to view the per-tire pressures.
- Identify the tire with the lowest PSI; that tire is the likely candidate for being low or leaking.
Seeing a per-tire readout lets you quickly confirm which tire needs attention and proceed to inflate or inspect accordingly.
What to do if your Civic does not show per-tire readouts
Some base trims may only show a general TPMS warning without a per-tire readout. In that case, verify each tire’s pressure with a reliable gauge and inflate to the recommended level shown on the door jamb placard. After inflating, recheck the pressures and, if required by your model, reset the TPMS using the procedure in the owner’s manual or the vehicle settings menu.
- Check all tires when the tires are cold to avoid inflated readings from driving heat.
- Inflate each tire to the recommended PSI on the placard—not to the maximum tire rating.
- If a tire continues to lose pressure, inspect for punctures or leaks and consult a professional if needed.
When per-tire readings aren’t available, manual verification remains essential to confirm a low tire and to address any leaks or slow leaks promptly.
Practical tips for maintaining your tires
Regularly check tire pressures, especially before long trips or seasonal changes. Keep a good-quality gauge in the car and verify tire pressures when the tires are cold. Remember that cold-inflation pressure is the value specified on the door jamb placard, not the number printed on the tire sidewall.
Summary
The 2017 Honda Civic can indicate which tire is low if your model includes a tire-pressure readout in the instrument cluster or infotainment display. If your trim does not offer that feature, you’ll receive only a general TPMS warning and must manually check each tire’s pressure. Consistently monitoring and maintaining proper tire pressure helps with safety, handling, and fuel efficiency.
