The TPMS reset button on a 2013 Honda Civic is located on the lower left side of the driver’s dashboard, near the hood release lever. After inflating all tires to the recommended pressures, you can recalibrate the system using this button.
Location of the TPMS reset button
In most 2013 Civic models, the reset button sits on the lower portion of the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel and just above the hood release lever. It is a small button labeled TPMS or marked with a tire icon.
How to reset the TPMS on a 2013 Civic
Follow these steps to reset or relearn the Tire Pressure Monitoring System once you’ve inflated all tires to the recommended pressures.
- Inflate all tires to the recommended cold tire pressures, using the door placard as your reference. Do not rely on warm tires for this step.
- Turn the ignition to ON with the engine OFF.
- Press and hold the TPMS button until the TPMS indicator on the dashboard blinks twice, then release the button.
- Drive straight at a steady speed of 30 mph (50 km/h) or higher for about 10 minutes to allow the system to relearn the new pressures.
- Turn off the ignition, wait a moment, then start the engine and confirm the TPMS light stays off after a short drive.
If the light persists after these steps, recheck tire pressures for accuracy, inspect sensors for damage, and consider a dealer or tire shop diagnostic to perform a proper relearn.
Troubleshooting notes
Not all Civics are identical by trim or region; some variants may rely on automatic relearn or require slightly different button behavior. Always refer to the owner’s manual for your exact vehicle version. If you can't locate a TPMS button or the reset procedure doesn’t work, a professional diagnostic can reprogram or replace faulty sensors.
Summary
The TPMS reset button on a 2013 Honda Civic sits on the lower left dash near the hood release lever. To reset, inflate all tires to the recommended pressures, press and hold the TPMS button, then drive at 30 mph or faster for about 10 minutes to complete the relearn. If the warning light remains, seek professional help to diagnose sensor issues.
