Yes. The 2021 Honda Accord has a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that can display the current pressures for all four tires on the driver’s information display or the central touchscreen, depending on trim and configuration.
This article explains how tire-pressure readings appear, where to find them on different trims, and best practices for using TPMS to keep tires properly inflated for safety and efficiency.
How the TPMS works in the 2021 Accord
The Accord’s TPMS continuously monitors each tire’s air pressure and alerts you if any tire falls below the recommended level. In normal operation, you’ll see either a dedicated tire-pressure screen in the instrument cluster or a TPMS page on the touchscreen that shows individual tire pressures, typically in psi. If pressures are dangerously low, a warning light will illuminate on the dash.
Where to find tire pressure readings
On the instrument cluster (driver information display)
In most trims, you can cycle the driver’s information display using the steering wheel controls until you reach the Tire Pressure screen. That screen shows the current psi for each tire and flags any tire that’s underinflated.
On the central 8-inch touchscreen
Some trims provide a TPMS or Vehicle Information page within the center display. Access the Home/Menu, then navigate to Vehicle information or TPMS to view each tire’s current pressure. The exact path can vary by market and trim, but the basic idea is to display the four readings together on one screen.
Tips for using TPMS
- Inflate tires to the recommended psi printed on the door jamb placard. Pressures change with temperature and load, so check when tires are cold for accuracy.
- If you replace tires or rotate them, you may need to reset or relearn the TPMS according to the owner’s manual. In many cases, the system relearns automatically after you drive for a short period at highway speeds.
Summary
The 2021 Honda Accord does display tire pressures via TPMS. You can view the readings on the driver information display or the central touchscreen, depending on trim. Regularly checking and maintaining proper tire pressure helps safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity.
