How to Program a Honda TPMS Sensor
To program a TPMS sensor for a Honda vehicle, the process may vary depending on the specific model and technology equipped. Here are the general steps and considerations based on the information available:
1. OE vs. Aftermarket Sensors:
– Honda OE sensors should be automatically recognized by the vehicle’s system, while aftermarket sensors may require an initial programming but should automatically be recognized afterwards.
2. Using TPMS Button (If Equipped):
– If the Honda vehicle is equipped with a TPMS button, it can be used to reset the system. The button is typically located to the left of the steering wheel. Press and hold the button until the warning light blinks twice.
3. Using a TPMS Tool:
– For newer Honda models with direct TPMS systems, a TPMS tool that connects to the OBDII port is required to program sensor IDs and positions. This tool can activate the sensor to collect the sensor ID and its position on the vehicle, and then feed the information through the OBDII port to the TPMS module. After reaching a certain speed (e.g., 28 mph), the vehicle confirms the sensor signals, IDs, and pressures.
4. Relearn Sequence:
– For Honda and Acura vehicles during an OBD relearn, the order to activate the TPMS sensors is left front, left rear, right rear, and right front sensor. This relearn process is unique compared to other OBD relearns for Honda CR-V’s direct TPMS system.
5. Multi-Application Sensors:
– Multi-application TPMS sensors, such as the REDI-Sensor Sensor, are pre-programmed and do not require extra programming steps. These sensors are ready for the vehicle relearn procedure as soon as they are installed in the tire.
It’s important to note that the specific programming and relearn procedures may vary based on the model year and type of TPMS system installed in the Honda vehicle. For precise instructions, it’s recommended to consult the vehicle’s manual or seek assistance from a Honda service center.

How much does it cost to reprogram TPMS?
The average cost for a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Relearn is between $35 and $44. Labor costs are estimated between $35 and $44. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your unique location.
What is the code TPMS 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.
Can I program my own TPMS?
The MORE sensor and Programming Tool are simple to use and can be successfully programmed in 10 easy steps. Follow the instructions below, or follow the video to programme your TPMS universal sensor.
Do Honda TPMS sensors 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.
How do I manually reset my TPMS sensor?
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.
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.
How do I activate my Honda TPMS sensor?
If your Honda is equipped with a TPMS button, you’ll find it to the left of the steering wheel. Press and hold the button until the warning light blinks twice.
How do I auto reset my TPMS?
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.
