How to Relearn the TPMS on an Acura RDX
To relearn the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on an Acura RDX, you can follow these steps:
1. Check Tire Pressure: Start by inspecting and filling each tire to ensure they are properly inflated. Look for any screws, nails, or holes in the tires that could be causing air loss. Fill the tires to match the recommended tire pressures listed on the decal in the driver’s door jamb.
2. Reset TPMS Light: Locate the TPMS button on the dashboard of your Acura RDX. Hold down the TPMS button until the TPMS light blinks three times. This will initiate the reset process.
3. Drive the Vehicle: After resetting the TPMS light, drive the vehicle for about ten minutes. This will allow the TPMS sensors to learn the new tire pressures and store them in the system’s memory.
4. Verify Reset: To confirm that the reset was successful, check if the TPMS light remains off. If the light stays illuminated or comes back on, there may be an issue with the TPMS system that requires further inspection or professional assistance.
Please note that these instructions are general guidelines and may vary slightly depending on the specific model year of your Acura RDX. It’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for detailed instructions tailored to your vehicle’s make and model.
Remember, proper tire maintenance is essential for your safety and the longevity of your vehicle. Regularly check and maintain the correct tire pressure to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

What are the three types of TPMS relearn procedures?
The three types of relearn procedures are auto relearn, stationary (manual) and OBD. Some vehicles may use a combination of two or more relearn types. Indirect TPMS systems use an initialization procedure which may require a TPMS tool to figure out the steps involved to reset the system.
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 reset my Acura TPMS sensor?
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. If this doesn’t work, inflate each tire 3 PSI over the recommended amount, and then completely deflate each tire. Inflate each again to the recommended tire pressure.
What is the relearn procedure for TPMS?
TPMS Vehicle relearn procedures vary by automaker. Some vehicles relearn automatically when you drive them. Others require a TPMS scan tool to complete the relearn. The process for many Asian makes and models may also require connecting a tool to the OBDII connection.
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.

The TPMS reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel. If you can’t locate it, check your owner’s manual. Inflate all of your tires to 3 PSI over their recommended amount, then deflate them completely. Be sure to do the same thing to the spare tire, as it could also have a sensor.
Check your owner’s manual if you have trouble finding the reset button. You’ll usually find it beneath the steering wheel.
How do you program a TPMS sensor on an Acura?
(Only for Older Acura Cars With Turn-Key Ignitions): Turn the key to the “On” position, but don’t start the car. Then, hold the TPMS light reset button, wait for the tire pressure light to blink three times, and then release it. After you start the car next, wait 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh itself.
