How do I know if my Honda has TPMS?

How to Determine if Your Honda Has TPMS
If you’re wondering whether your Honda has a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), here’s how you can find out:
Direct vs. Indirect TPMS:
– Honda vehicles can have either direct or indirect TPMS systems. Direct TPMS systems have sensors attached to the valve for the most accurate reading, while indirect TPMS systems use the anti-lock brake system to determine approximate pressure.
Model Year:
– Starting with the 2008 model year, every Honda has TPMS. However, cars made before 2018 probably do not have this feature.
Indicator Light:
– Certain models and trim levels have a separate TPMS indicator that illuminates if the system detects an issue with the TPMS operation. If equipped, the indicator displays the letters “TPMS”.
– The TPMS warning light in your Honda is designed to alert you when one or more of your tires falls below the recommended tire pressure. This warning light is typically yellow and looks like a cutaway tire with an exclamation point.
Resetting TPMS:
– If you need to reset the TPMS light in your Honda, the process typically involves recalibrating the system after reinflating your tires, changing a tire, or getting them rotated. This recalibration process usually requires about 30 minutes of driving between 30-65 miles per hour.
In summary, if your Honda was manufactured after 2008, it likely has a TPMS. You can also look for the TPMS warning light on your dashboard to confirm its presence. If you need to reset the TPMS light, the recalibration process can be done through the vehicle’s settings or information center.
If you have further questions or need assistance with your TPMS, feel free to reach out to a Honda service department for help.
I hope this information helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
