How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on a 2021 Fit?

2021 Fit tire pressure warning reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. Release the button after hearing a "ding" sound. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Precautions for inflating tires: Always use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure to avoid overinflation, which can cause the tire to burst. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as tire temperature increases during driving, affecting the pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and valve core are not properly aligned, have protrusions, depressions, or other defects, it may hinder inflation and pressure measurement. Pay attention to cleanliness during inflation. The air being pumped in should not contain moisture or oil to prevent deterioration and damage to the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure too much during inflation and then release air, nor should you overinflate due to prolonged inability to inflate while traveling. Excessive pressure can cause the cords to overstretch, reducing their strength and affecting the tire's lifespan.
I also encountered a tire pressure warning last time. The technician at the 4S store taught me a simple method: First, park the car stably and turn on the power without starting the engine. Then, locate the button with an arrow on the right side of the steering wheel, press it to enter the settings menu, and find the vehicle option. Inside, there will be a menu for tire pressure monitoring system calibration. Press and hold the reset button for about three seconds until the dashboard warning light flashes twice, and the warning will disappear. Before performing this operation, remember to check the tire pressure of all four wheels with a tire pressure gauge. In summer, it's best to adjust the cold tire pressure to around 2.4 bar. Once, after I reset it, the warning light came on again, and it turned out there was a nail in the tire. After repairing the tire and recalibrating, the issue was completely resolved.
I've been driving this Fit for over two years and have become quite familiar with handling the tire pressure warning. After powering on the car, press the steering wheel control button to enter the central console settings and select the tire pressure calibration function. The key is to ensure proper tire pressure: 2.3 for the front wheels and 2.1 for the rear wheels is ideal, and I always keep a digital tire pressure gauge in the trunk. Pay attention to the dashboard warning light changes during the reset operation - it needs to flash and then go off to indicate success. Once while driving on the highway, the light suddenly came on, so I immediately pulled over at a service area to check and found the right rear tire was indeed leaking. This system is quite sensitive - when it alarms, don't rush to reset it; always inspect the tires first.
