If you tried everything and it still doesn’t work, it might be a faulty sensor. Those can get expensive, but it’s best to diagnose before jumping to conclusions.

I know right?! You’d think in this tech age, we could have a straightforward process. At least once it’s done, you don’t have to worry about it for a while.
A humorous thought: why don’t they just add a button that says ‘Fix Everything’?! Just kidding! It’s great to see everyone sharing tips here. Keep them coming!
I agree with you, jesse38! Sometimes, taking a moment to reflect on these little car quirks makes car maintenance feel less tedious. We can help each other out with these topics.
To reset the TPMS on a 2010 Honda Accord, start by inflating your tires to the recommended pressure. Then, turn the ignition to the ‘ON’ position without starting the engine. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it. This should do the trick!

That’s great advice! I had trouble a while back when the TPMS light stayed on even after filling my tires. It was a sensor issue in the end!
Make sure to check if all your tires are properly inflated! If one tire is too low, it might trigger the TPMS warning even if you reset it.
But what if the light won’t turn off after resetting? Is it possible for the TPMS sensors to malfunction, and how do you know if that’s the case?
Yes, malfunctions can happen, especially with older models. Sometimes, the sensors need to be replaced. It’s a good idea to have them checked if the reset doesn’t work after a few attempts.
Exactly! I had that issue, and it turned out my sensor battery was dying. Replacement was the only fix!

What’s the approximate cost for replacing the sensors, if that’s needed? Just trying to prepare financially here!
It can vary but expect anywhere between $50 to $100 per sensor, plus labor if you go to a shop. That adds up pretty quickly!
Woah, that’s steep! I guess DIY replacements could save some cash, but it seems tricky.
