How to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on Honda CR-V?

Honda CR-V tire pressure monitoring system reset method is as follows: 1. Press the arrow button on the lower right of the steering wheel until the central screen displays "Personal Settings." 2. Press the SEL/RESET button, and the central screen will display "Enter/Tire Pressure Monitoring System Calibration." 3. Press the SEL/RESET button again, and the central screen will show "Set/Tire Pressure Monitoring System Calibration." 4. Press the arrow button on the lower right of the steering wheel, and the central screen will display "Calibration 2/2." 5. Press the SEL/RESET button, and the central screen will show "Calibration Started." The tire pressure warning light will disappear after a few seconds. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: • Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; • Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; • Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; • Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; • Overstretches tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; • Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks or blowouts.
A while ago, I helped a friend deal with the tire pressure warning light on his Honda CR-V. Resetting it is actually quite simple: First, make sure all four tires are inflated to the standard pressure (you can find the specific values on the door frame or in the manual), and checking when the car is cold gives the most accurate reading. Then, start the engine, press the menu button on the steering wheel to find the vehicle settings on the dashboard, enter the tire pressure monitoring system calibration option, and select calibrate. The system will then begin initializing. At this point, you need to drive for a while to let the system relearn the tire data—usually about 15 minutes of city driving will do the trick. Avoid using cruise control during this process, and maintaining a steady speed of 40-80 km/h works best. After resetting, the yellow exclamation mark light on the dashboard will automatically turn off. If the light remains on after driving, there might be an actual tire pressure issue or a sensor malfunction, and you should take it to a shop for inspection. Remember to check your tire pressure at least once a month to avoid unnoticed punctures from nails.
Last winter, the tire pressure light on my CRV kept coming on, and after resetting it a few times, I figured out the trick. Turn the key to the second position without starting the engine, hold down the arrow selection button on the right side of the steering wheel, and the instrument cluster menu will pop up. Select the maintenance item, scroll down to the tire pressure calibration option, and confirm. The key is to make sure the tire pressure is properly adjusted before performing the reset. Once, I was in a hurry and reset it without inflating the tires enough, and the light came back on after driving just two kilometers. After resetting, you need to drive continuously for about ten kilometers, and the system will collect data on its own. Sometimes, driving on the highway for just five minutes can do the trick, but it’s safer to drive a bit longer. If you’ve just patched a tire or changed the rims, it’s especially important to reset the system promptly. Also, the battery in the tire pressure monitoring sensor lasts about five or six years. If an older car fails to reset, it might be because the sensor is out of power and needs replacement.
