Does Honda use TPMS sensors?
Yes, Honda vehicles use TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors. However, it’s important to note that Honda uses an indirect TPMS system, which means they do not have air pressure sensors inside the tires. Instead, they detect low tire pressure by comparing relative wheel speeds via the anti-lock brake system (ABS) wheel speed sensors. When a tire loses air, its diameter decreases slightly, and this change in wheel rotation characteristics is used to calculate the air pressure .
Honda models equipped with TPMS include the Accord, CR-V, CR-Z, Civic, Crosstour, Element, Fit EV, Fit, HR-V, Insight, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot, Ridgeline, and S2000.
It’s worth mentioning that Honda TPMS sensors are not compatible with all Honda models, so it’s important to verify the specific requirements for your vehicle before purchasing a TPMS sensor.

What type of TPMS does Honda Accord use?
The Honda Accord is manufactured with an indirect and a direct TPMS system, depending on the year. Direct TPMS has TPMS sensors are installed in the wheel; if one or more tires indicate low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will transfer the information to the vehicle’s ECU.
How long do Honda TPMS sensors last?
5 to 12 years
TPMS Life Expectancy
The estimated life expectancy of an OE TPMS sensor is 5 to 12 years, with the average lifespan being 7 years.
How do I know which TPMS sensor I have?
Using a washer rubber grommet and a hex nut. Number three is the banded sensor. It is fastened to the drop center of the wheel inside the mounted tire and wheel assembly.
What is the TPMS system on a Honda?
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your Honda is designed to alert you when one or more of your tires falls below the recommended tire pressure.
Why is my TPMS light on but tires are fine?
The causes can be a malfunction, or the weather changes. Other reasons why your TPMS light may still be blinking is because your tire may be damaged, or you might have gotten a recent tire replacement. Overall, the reasons can be vast, which is why it is best to take your car to a technician for professional diagnosis.
Do Honda TPMS need to be programmed?
Are the TPMS sensors Honda OE sensors or aftermarket? Honda sensors should be automatically recognized. Aftermarket sensors require an initial programing, but should automatically recognize afterwards.
Do Honda spare tires have TPMS sensors?
The spare tire does not have a sensor for the TPMS system to read. The system may register nothing where the tire should be. As long as you are confident that the spare has the correct tire pressure, it should not represent a problem.
When did Honda start using TPMS sensors?
2008
Starting with model years 2008 and newer, all Honda models have been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS); prior to then, select models were equipped with the system.
Does Honda Accord have TPMS?
This vehicle is equipped with an Indirect TPMS System. The vehicle is not equipped with tire pressure sensors mounted on the wheels. Whenever the pressure has been adjusted on one or more tires, tires have been rotated or one or more tires have been replaced, the TPMS must be calibrated. (See RESET PROCEDURES.)
What is the problem with the TPMS sensor on a Honda?
If your Honda TPMS light is on and flashing, it could mean that the sensor battery is failing or that the tire pressure sensors are malfunctioning. Whatever the issue is, you should bring your vehicle into our Service Center as soon as possible. Our expert technicians can quickly diagnose and correct the problem.
