How to Reset the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light on an Accord?
2 Answers
Turn on the instrument panel power and hold the reset button until the low tire pressure warning light turns off. Then, press and hold the reset button again until the low tire pressure warning light flashes three times and turns off. The tire pressure monitoring light may come on due to prolonged driving with low tire pressure.
When the tire pressure warning light comes on in my Accord, I usually find a safe place to pull over and check immediately. I use a portable tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire, including the spare. If the pressure is below the standard value indicated on the door frame label (e.g., 35psi), I promptly inflate it to the required level at the nearest gas station. After filling, driving a short distance should turn off the light. If it remains on, I reset it through the car's menu: tap the settings icon on the center screen, find the vehicle maintenance option, select the tire pressure system reset, and confirm. Once, I encountered a slow leak in the tire that caused the light to stay on, and resetting didn't help, so I had to go to a shop to get the tire repaired. Don't take tire pressure issues lightly—too low pressure increases the risk of a blowout. Developing a habit of checking tire pressure weekly before driving can help reduce such situations.
