To reset the tire pressure light on a 2014 Honda Accord, first bring all tires up to the recommended pressures shown on the door placard, then either drive the car to allow the TPMS to relearn automatically, or use the TPMS calibration/reset control if your model supports it. If the light remains after correcting pressures, there may be a sensor or tire issue that needs inspection.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the 2014 Accord uses sensors in each wheel to monitor air pressure. When a tire is underinflated or a sensor is replaced, the warning light may illuminate. Reset methods can vary by trim level, and some cars require a simple drive to relearn, while others offer a manual calibration option. If you can’t locate a reset control, the system may still self-learn after driving with correct pressures, or you may need to consult your owner's manual for the exact procedure.
Relearn by driving (automatic reset)
If your tires are inflated to the correct pressures, the system will often relearn automatically after you drive for a while on a highway or steady-speed run.
- Inflate all tires to the recommended pressures listed on the door placard (including the spare if applicable for your model). Use a reliable tire gauge to verify each tire.
- Drive on a highway or in steady-speed conditions at around 50–60 mph (80–100 kph) for about 10–15 minutes to allow the TPMS sensors to relearn.
- Observe the TPMS warning light: it should go off once the system has successfully relearned the sensor data. If it stays illuminated, proceed to manual calibration if your model supports it.
Automatic relearning is the preferred first step on most 2014 Accords. If the light does not reset after driving at steady speeds, try the manual calibration steps below.
Manual calibration / TPMS reset (if equipped)
Locating the TPMS reset control
Some 2014 Accord trims include a TPMS calibration button labeled TPMS, SET, or CAL. It is typically located on the left side of the dash near the hood release or under a small panel inside the driver’s side area. If you cannot locate a reset switch, your vehicle may not have a dedicated manual reset, and you should rely on the automatic relearn by driving or consult the manual for alternatives.
How to perform the manual reset
Follow these steps if your car has a TPMS calibration control:
- Ensure all tires are inflated to the door placard pressures.
- Turn the ignition to ON (engine off) and set the transmission to Park with the parking brake engaged.
- Press and hold the TPMS button (or CAL/SET) for about 3 seconds until the TPMS indicator in the dash flashes or a confirmation message appears on the Driver Information Display.
- Release the button and drive at 30–50 mph (50–80 kph) for about 10 minutes to complete the calibration.
If you don’t see a change after calibration—or if there is no TPMS reset control—the light may still reset automatically after proper pressures and driving time, or you may need a dealership or tire shop to diagnose a potential sensor fault.
Troubleshooting and common issues
When the TPMS light won’t reset or keeps returning, check these common causes.
- Tire pressures: Recheck all four tires with a reliable gauge and adjust to the recommended values. Minor deviations can trigger the light.
- Punctures or slow leaks: Inspect tires for damage, punctures, or slow leaks and repair or replace as needed.
- Sensor issues: TPMS sensors can fail or their batteries degrade over time, especially on older vehicles. A diagnostic scan may be needed to identify a faulty sensor.
- Recent tire work: After rotating tires or replacing wheels/sensors, some vehicles require a relearn or calibration to update sensor IDs.
If the light persists after trying automatic relearn and/or manual calibration, consult your owner's manual for the exact steps for your trim or visit a Honda service center or tire shop for a precise TPMS diagnosis.
Summary
The tire pressure warning on a 2014 Honda Accord is typically reset by inflating tires to the correct pressures and either driving to allow automatic relearn or using a TPMS CAL/SET control if your model supports it. If the light remains, investigate potential sensor failures, punctures, or leaks, and seek professional service as needed.
