How to Fix the TPMS on a Honda Odyssey
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on a Honda Odyssey can sometimes require fixing or resetting. Here are some steps you can take to address TPMS issues on your Honda Odyssey:
1. Understand the TPMS system: The Honda Odyssey is manufactured with both indirect and direct TPMS systems, depending on the year. The direct TPMS system uses sensors installed in the wheels to monitor tire pressure and transfer information to the vehicle’s ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
2. Check tire pressure: Before attempting to fix the TPMS, it’s important to ensure that the tire pressure is at the recommended level. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire and inflate or deflate them as needed.
3. Reset the TPMS: If the TPMS warning light remains on after adjusting the tire pressure, you may need to reset the TPMS. The exact procedure for resetting the TPMS can vary depending on the year and model of your Honda Odyssey. Here is a general procedure that may work:
– Start the vehicle and make sure it is in park.
– Press the TPMS reset button, if available, located either on the dashboard or inside the glove compartment. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the exact location of the reset button.
– Hold the reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks twice.
– Release the reset button and wait for the TPMS indicator light to turn off.
If your Honda Odyssey does not have a TPMS reset button, you may need to use a TPMS scan tool or visit a Honda dealership for assistance.
4. Drive the vehicle: After resetting the TPMS, it is recommended to drive the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes at speeds between 30-65 mph. This allows the TPMS system to recalibrate and properly monitor the tire pressure.
5. Seek professional assistance: If the TPMS warning light persists or if you are unsure about performing the reset yourself, it is recommended to visit a Honda dealership or a qualified automotive technician. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and fix any TPMS issues.
Remember, the steps provided here are general guidelines, and it’s important to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific instructions related to your Honda Odyssey model and year.

Why is my Honda TPMS not working?
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.
What causes TPMS to malfunction?
When the battery in a TPMS sensor dies, it will trigger a malfunction warning from the system, indicated by a blinking TPMS light on your dashboard. It may continue to flash, or it may turn solid after 60-90 seconds.
What causes a TPMS sensor to go bad?
The valve stems of some TPMS systems operate in salt, water and ferrous brake dust. These elements can damage a sensor over time. Galvanic corrosion can kill a sensor from the inside. If you use the wrong valve core or nut, it can cause a reaction between the two dissimilar metals.
Can I fix my own TPMS?
For handy individuals with some mechanical experience, replacing TPMS sensors can be a DIY project. This option can be cost-effective but requires a certain skill level and the right tools.
Set the parking brake. Look for a button to the left of the steering column labeled with the TPMS icon if it’s there push and hold it until the TPMS indicator in the instrument panel blinks twice.

Drive at or above 50 mph to reset the sensor for 10 minutes. This can cause your sensor to reset the next time you turn on the car. With the vehicle off, turn the key to the “ON” position, but do not start your vehicle. Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
Why is my TPMS light on but tires are fine?
The causes can be a malfunction, or the weather changes.
