What is the method for resetting the tire pressure on a Civic?
2 Answers
Before resetting the tire pressure on a Civic, you should first restore the tire pressure to the normal level; turn on the ignition, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release it. At this point, the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data and automatically clear the previous data; press and hold the SET button on the center console until the tire pressure data is refreshed and the tire pressure warning light disappears. Tire Pressure Reset: Tire pressure reset is the operation of resetting the tire pressure monitoring system after the tire pressure fault has been resolved. Tire Pressure Reset Method: First, turn on the ignition, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data and automatically clear the previous data. Finally, the fault light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating that the tire pressure reset is complete.
As a Civic owner, resetting the tire pressure monitoring light is actually quite simple. First, I make sure all tire pressures meet the standard values—typically around 230 kPa for the front tires and 220 kPa for the rear tires, as specified on the label near the door. Then, I sit in the driver’s seat, turn the key to the "ON" position without starting the engine. At this point, the tire pressure light on the dashboard may be on. I locate the SET button on the center console or the lower left side of the steering wheel and hold it down for about 5 seconds until the light flashes twice or turns off, indicating a successful reset. The whole process takes just a few minutes, but the key is ensuring the tire pressure is correct for an accurate reset—otherwise, the light may stay on. A quick reminder: incorrect tire pressure not only increases fuel consumption but also affects braking safety. After resetting, I always drive a short distance to check if the light remains stable. If the reset fails repeatedly, it might indicate a sensor malfunction or a leak, requiring a visit to a professional repair shop. Never ignore these small signals—safety comes first!
