To reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on a 2017 Honda Accord, first inflate all tires to the recommended cold pressures shown on the door jamb placard. If the TPMS warning light remains on after inflation, you can reset the system either with a dedicated TPMS reset button (if your trim has one) or via the vehicle’s settings to recalibrate the sensors, followed by a highway drive to relearn.
What TPMS does and why reset
TPMS monitors tire air pressure and alerts you when a tire is underinflated. After tire service, rotation, or wheel changes, the system may need to relearn the sensors so readings reflect the current setup.
Reset options for the 2017 Honda Accord
Before you start, confirm all four tires are inflated to the recommended cold pressures listed on the door jamb placard. Then choose the method that matches your vehicle’s equipment.
Reset using a TPMS reset button (if your trim has one)
- Turn the ignition to ON with the engine OFF.
- Locate the TPMS reset button. It is typically beneath the dash on the driver’s side near the fuse box or knee bolster, and may be labeled "TPMS" or show a tire icon.
- Press and hold the button until the TPMS indicator in the instrument cluster blinks slowly and then stops.
- Drive at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h) for about 10 minutes to complete the relearn cycle.
Note: If your vehicle doesn’t have a reset button or the light doesn’t reset after using the button method, proceed with the calibration method described below or consult the owner’s manual for your exact trim.
Calibrating TPMS via the instrument cluster settings (no TPMS button)
- Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine OFF (or in RUN depending on the vehicle).
- Use the steering wheel controls to access the driver information display.
- Navigate to Settings > Vehicle > Tire Pressure Monitor (TPMS) or TPMS Calibration.
- Select Calibrate or Relearn, then confirm.
- Drive at a steady speed of 50–60 mph (80–97 km/h) for about 10 minutes to complete the relearn.
Conclusion: After calibration, the TPMS warning light should turn off if the tires are properly inflated and sensors are functioning. If the light remains on, there may be a sensor issue or a leak requiring professional inspection.
Additional tips
Always measure tire pressures when the tires are cold. If you rotate tires or service the wheels, plan for a TPMS recalibration. If you notice a slow leak or sensor issue, replace or service the affected sensor and recheck the system.
Summary
Resetting TPMS on a 2017 Honda Accord centers on inflating tires to the correct cold pressures and using either a dedicated TPMS reset button (if equipped) or the vehicle’s Settings menu to calibrate the system. A brief highway drive at steady speeds completes the relearn. If issues persist, professional diagnostics may be needed.
