what does it mean when my Honda Accord TPMS light is on

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cool.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressures

• Sub-steps:
  • Remove valve caps from each tire.
  • Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
  • Inflate or deflate tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, usually found on the driver's door jamb.

3. Inspect and Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  • Safely lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it on jack stands.
  • Remove the wheel to access the TPMS sensor (if mounted internally).
  • Disconnect the old TPMS sensor and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is securely fastened.
  • Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle.
• Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, socket set, torque wrench.
• Safety Warnings: Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and securely supported on jack stands before working underneath.

4. Reset the TPMS

  • Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
  • Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the dashboard).
  • Press and hold the reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release.
