The location and method for resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in a Honda vary by model and year. There isn’t a single universal button; some models have a physical TPMS/SET button on the dash, while others require a menu-based reset inside the instrument cluster or infotainment system. In many cases, tires must be inflated to the recommended pressures and the system relearns automatically after a brief drive.
Common physical locations for a TPMS reset control
Many Honda models that still include a dedicated TPMS reset control place it in one of a few typical spots. Here are the locations you’re most likely to encounter.
- Left side of the steering column on the dash, near the hood release lever or the light/dimmer stalk, where a small TPMS or SET button may be located.
- On a removable panel in the lower dash or knee area, sometimes tucked behind a cover near the driver's left leg.
- In some trims and older models, there is no physical button at all; the TPMS reset is done through the instrument cluster or a touchscreen/settings menu.
Note: The exact location depends on the model year and trim level. Check your owner's manual for the precise placement in your specific Honda model.
Reset methods: button vs. dashboard menu
If your Honda uses a physical reset button, follow these steps. If your model relies on the dash menu, use the on-screen procedure instead.
- With the ignition on and the engine off, press and hold the TPMS/SET button until the indicator light flashes or confirms a reset, then release. Afterward, drive to complete the relearn.
- Make sure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressures listed on the door jamb placard and re-check pressures after adjustment.
- Drive at a steady pace for about 10 minutes (or until the TPMS light stops flashing and stays off) to allow the system to relearn the new tire pressures.
- If your model uses a settings menu, go to Settings > Vehicle > TPMS > Reset/Learn, confirm, and then drive as directed to complete the relearn.
After the reset, the TPMS warning light should stay off as long as tire pressures remain within specification. If the light remains on, re-check all pressures and, if needed, consult a dealer or tire professional for a diagnostic check.
Model-specific notes
Because Honda’s TPMS implementation has evolved over the years, the exact procedure and location can differ. In newer models, a dedicated physical button is less common, with resets handled through the vehicle’s settings menu or automatic relearn after inflation and driving. Always refer to your specific model year’s owner’s manual for precise instructions.
Summary
To reset TPMS on a Honda, expect variation by model and year. Some cars have a physical TPMS/SET button located on the left dash near the steering column, while others rely on a dashboard or touchscreen menu (Settings > Vehicle > TPMS > Reset/Learn). Regardless of method, begin by inflating all tires to the recommended spec and then drive the vehicle to complete the relearn. When in doubt, consult the owner’s manual or a Honda service professional for model-specific guidance.
