The TPMS reset button on a Honda Civic is usually located on the lower left side of the dashboard near the driver’s knee, and many trims also offer a reset option in the instrument cluster. If you can’t find a physical button, you can reset TPMS through the driver-information display after inflating the tires to the correct pressure.
Where to look by generation and trim
The exact location depends on the model year and trim. Use this guide to locate the TPMS control on your Civic.
- Older and some 9th/10th generation Civics (roughly 2006–2011 and 2016–2021 in many trims): a small physical TPMS/SET button is typically tucked under the left side of the steering column, near the hood release lever or fuse box.
- 11th generation Civics (2022–present): some trims omit a visible physical button and rely on the TPMS option in the driver-information display (Settings > Vehicle > TPMS) to reset.
If your vehicle’s manual shows a different spot, or you don’t see any button, check the glove-compartment quick reference or search the onboard help guide for "TPMS" or "SET."
Steps to reset TPMS on a Civic
After inflating all tires to the recommended pressure on the door-jamb placard, follow these steps to reset TPMS. Note that some models relearn automatically after driving at highway speeds.
- Turn the ignition to ON with the engine off (or as specified in your manual for your model).
- If you have a physical TPMS/SET button, press and hold it for 3–5 seconds until the dash light blinks or a confirmation message appears.
- If your Civic uses a menu, navigate to Settings > Vehicle > TPMS, select Reset or Relearn, and confirm.
- Drive at or above 50 mph (80 km/h) for 10–20 minutes to complete the relearn process and turn off the warning light.
If the light stays on after following these steps, recheck tire pressures and consult the owner's manual or a dealer for a TPMS system check.
Helpful tips
Keep a record of your tire pressures and periodically check them. Proper inflation helps the TPMS relearn process and extends tire life.
Summary: The TPMS button on a Honda Civic is usually on the lower left dash near the knee or accessible via the instrument cluster menu. If a physical button isn’t present on your model, use Settings > Vehicle > TPMS to reset after inflating tires to spec, then drive to relearn.
