Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner (if needed).
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Turn off the engine and ensure all doors are closed.

2. Check Tire Pressure

Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
Compare the readings with the recommended tire pressures specified on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb.
Inflate or deflate tires as necessary to meet the proper pressure.

3. Resetting the TPMS

For the Honda Accord 2023:
1. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
2. Locate the TPMS reset button, which is usually found under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release the button.
4. Start the engine and allow the vehicle to run for about 20 minutes to complete the reset process.

4. Final Check

After the reset, drive the vehicle at speeds above 30 mph for a few minutes.
Monitor the dashboard to confirm that the tire pressure light has turned off.
