Programming Acura TPMS
To program your Acura TPMS, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the TPMS Reset Button: For Acura vehicles without a central display, the TPMS reset button can usually be found under, or to the left, of the steering wheel.
2. Reset the TPMS: If the TPMS warning light on your Acura’s dashboard hasn’t turned off even after correcting the tire pressure problem, you can reset the system yourself. Use the following steps to reset your Acura TPMS.
3. Professional Servicing: It’s important to note that these sensors must be serviced by a professional because the vehicle must be programmed to recognize the new sensors.
It’s crucial to ensure that the tire pressure is at the recommended level and to follow the specific steps outlined for your Acura model to successfully program the TPMS.
If you have any further questions or encounter difficulties during the process, it’s advisable to seek professional assistance to ensure the proper functioning of the TPMS system.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Why is my TPMS light on in my Acura?
Any time that the TPMS warning light comes ON, there is a possible low tire pressure condition. Tire pressure can drop due to cold conditions, and this drop in pressure may cause the TPMS light to come ON. As the tire warms up under normal driving conditions, the light may turn OFF.
Do Acura TPMS need to be programmed?
Based on your experience, it would seem that each TPMS Sensor on the wheel transmits to the four Initiators which sends the info back to the TPMS Control Unit. No programming needed as long as the TPMS Sensors are the 433Mhz units.
How do you program a TPMS sensor on an Acura?
1. After you’ve inflated your tires, drive your vehicle at 50 mph for ten minutes or so. This operation should reset your TPMS sensor. No longer is the TPMS light on the next time you start your vehicle.
Can you relearn TPMS sensors without a scan tool?
With the exception of some models that may be relearned to the vehicle via a driving procedure, a TPMS scan tool is required to complete the vehicle relearn procedure. Some aftermarket sensors require special programming to meet the vehicle’s application specifications prior to installation and relearn.
What is a Acura TPMS system error?
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Can I reset my TPMS myself?
Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. Start the car and wait about 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh. You will find the tire pressure monitor reset button under the steering wheel. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual if you can’t find it.
Can you reprogram a TPMS sensor?

Once they have been successfully programmed, they must then be relearned to the vehicle. In order to be able to program programmable sensors, technicians may need to invest in specialized tools, training, and software.
Does a TPMS need to be programmed?
Aftermarket TPMS sensors that come as “programmable,” “universal” or “clone-able” must be programmed with the proper protocol/application information for the specific vehicle before they can be installed. Once they have been successfully programmed, they must then be relearned to the vehicle.

How do you reset the TPMS light on a Acura?
Take your Acura out for a good drive at or above 50 mph, and make sure that you drive for at least 10 minutes. This should reset your sensor.
