To reset the TPMS on a 2015 Honda Accord, inflate all four tires to the recommended cold pressures shown on the driver’s door jamb label, then reset the system using either the dedicated TPMS reset button (if equipped) or the TPMS reset option in the vehicle’s settings, followed by a drive to complete the relearn.
In the 2015 Accord, the exact reset method can vary by trim and equipment. Some models have a TPMS reset button located under the dash or in the glovebox, while others rely on the information display or infotainment system to perform the reset. After inflating the tires to the correct pressures, you’ll typically need to drive at highway speeds for several minutes to allow the system to relearn the new pressures.
Two common reset methods for the 2015 Honda Accord
The following approaches cover the two most widely used ways to reinitialize TPMS on this model. Choose the method that matches your car’s configuration.
Method A: TPMS Reset Button (if your trim has one)
Follow these steps if your Accord has a dedicated TPMS reset button. This method re-learns sensors without needing to navigate the display menus.
- Ensure all four tires are inflated to the recommended cold pressures listed on the driver’s door jamb label.
- Turn the ignition to ON with the engine OFF.
- Press and hold the TPMS/SET button until the TPMS indicator light blinks slowly (or blinks twice, depending on the model), then release.
- Drive at speeds above 30–50 mph (50–80 km/h) for about 10 minutes to complete the relearn.
- Check that the TPMS warning light turns off. If it stays on, repeat the steps or consider trying the alternative method described below.
The TPMS should now recognize the current tire pressures. If the light persists, verify tire pressures again and inspect for leaks or damaged sensors that might prevent a proper relearn.
Method B: TPMS Reset via Vehicle Settings/Info Display
Use this method if your car’s TPMS reset is accessed through the driver information display or infotainment system.
- Confirm all tires are inflated to the correct cold pressures per the door jamb label.
- Turn the ignition ON (engine OFF).
- Open the vehicle’s information display or settings menu. Navigate to TPMS Calibration/Reset (the exact path may be Settings > Vehicle > TPMS Reset or TPMS Calibration).
- Select Reset/Calibrate and confirm. The system may indicate that it is undergoing relearn and may prompt you to drive at highway speeds.
- Drive at sustained speeds (typically 50 mph or higher) for about 10 minutes to complete the relearn. The indicator should turn off once the process completes.
Note: The on-screen wording and menu path can vary by trim and software version. If you cannot locate the TPMS reset option, consult the owner’s manual or contact a Honda dealer for the exact steps for your vehicle’s configuration.
Troubleshooting and helpful tips
If the TPMS warning light remains on after performing either reset method, consider these checks and steps:
- Re-check tire pressures with a reliable gauge to ensure they are truly at the recommended cold pressures.
- Inspect tires for slow leaks, punctures, or damaged valves that could prevent proper inflation.
- Ensure the spare tire (if a full-size sensor-equipped tire is used) is not the source of a warning if the car is monitoring it.
- Some TPMS issues require replacing a failed sensor or module; if you consistently cannot reset the system, have it inspected by a professional.
Direct TPMS uses wheel-mounted sensors, and the system learns the correct pressures by comparing sensor readings. If a sensor battery is weak or a sensor is damaged, the light may not reset despite correct tire pressures.
Summary
Resetting the 2015 Honda Accord’s TPMS involves inflating all tires to the correct cold pressures and then performing a reset through the dedicated TPMS button (if present) or via the vehicle’s TPMS/calibration menu. After resetting, a highway drive typically completes the relearn. If the warning light persists, double-check tire pressures, inspect for leaks or damaged sensors, and consult a dealer if needed.
