If you’re looking to reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on your 2010 Honda Accord, here’s a simple guide to help you out!

What You’ll Need:

  • Your vehicle’s ignition key
  • A tire pressure gauge (optional but recommended)

Steps to Reset TPMS:

  1. Check Tire Pressure: Make sure all your tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. You can find this information on the sticker inside the driver’s door jamb.
  2. Turn on Ignition: Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ‘ON’ position, but do not start the engine.
  3. Locate TPMS Reset Button: This button is typically located under the steering wheel or near the center console. Refer to your owner’s manual if you’re having trouble finding it.
  4. Press and Hold: Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light on your dashboard blinks three times, then release it.
  5. Start the Engine: Start your car. The TPMS warning light should turn off after a short driving distance. If it doesn’t, go back to step one and check your tire pressures again.
  6. Drive the Vehicle: Often, you’ll need to drive the car for a few minutes to allow the system to recalibrate.

Troubleshooting:

  • Light Stays On: If the warning light does not turn off after a drive, check for tire leaks or malfunctioning sensors. You might need to have a professional check it out.
  • Sensor Issues: If you’ve recently changed tires or had work done on your vehicle, ensure the TPMS sensors are properly positioned on the new tires.

Following these steps should help you get your TPMS back in working order! If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to ask below. Happy driving!

To reset the TPMS on a 2010 Honda Accord, you’ll need to follow some simple steps. First, ensure the tires are properly inflated to the correct PSI. Then, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and press the TPMS button until the light blinks and goes out. It should be located under the dashboard or near the steering column.

15

That’s a great start! I also recommend checking the tire pressure regularly. Sometimes, even after adjusting the pressure, the TPMS may still show a warning light until it resets.

16

If you encounter issues after following these steps, try driving the car for around 10 minutes at speeds above 50 mph. This can help recalibrate the system. And be sure to double-check the tire pressure!

Yes! This aspect always seems to work for me. Sometimes, electronics just need a little time to catch up.
