The TPMS light on your Acura CSX stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. When this light comes on, it indicates that there is a possible low tire pressure condition or an issue with one or more of the TPMS sensors. The TPMS is critical to the safety of your vehicle, as it helps you monitor the tire pressure and ensures that it is at the recommended level.
If the TPMS light comes on during cold weather, it could be due to a drop in tire pressure caused by the cold conditions. In such cases, you should check the tire pressure when the tires are cold and inflate them to the proper pressure indicated on the door placard.
To reset the TPMS light, you can try the following troubleshooting tips:
1. Take a drive on a highway at or above 50 mph for 10 minutes to reset the sensor for your tire light. This can cause the sensor to reset the next time you turn on the car.
2. Operate the car for 20 minutes to reset the system. The TPMS reset button (for vehicles without a central display) can often be found on the left or under the steering wheel. Check your Acura owner’s manual for assistance in locating the TPMS reset button.
If the TPMS light remains on even after trying these troubleshooting tips, it is recommended to visit an Acura service and parts center for further diagnosis and repair.
Please note that disabling or removing the TPMS sensors may lead to malfunction or improper functioning of the traction control system.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

How do you turn off 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. 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.
Is it OK to drive with TPMS light on?
As we mentioned earlier, a tire pressure light is a warning, not a command, so you don’t need to pull over immediately if you see it come on. However, driving on underinflated tires can be dangerous and can cause a variety of problems, including poor handling, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased tire wear.
Why is my TPMS light on but tires are fine?
The causes can be a malfunction, or the weather changes. Other reasons why your TPMS light may still be blinking is because your tire may be damaged, or you might have gotten a recent tire replacement. Overall, the reasons can be vast, which is why it is best to take your car to a technician for professional diagnosis.
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.
How do I get rid of TPMS warning?
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.
What is the reason why the TPMS light is on?
When the TPMS light comes on – and stays on – at least one of your tires is at a low pressure level. Check the pressure of all of the tires with a gauge and determine the cause of pressure loss and add air or service the tire(s) as appropriate.
Additionally, you can also utilize the TPMS reset button located under your steering wheel. Reference your owner’s manual to find its exact placement. With the vehicle off, turn the key to “on.” Now, press and hold the reset button until it blinks three times.
How do you reset the TPMS on a Acura CSX?
Turn the key to “On” (one position to the right), but don’t start the car. Now hold down the “TPMS Reset” button until the flashing tire pressure light blinks three times. Start the engine and wait 20 minutes. Check your owner’s manual if you have trouble finding the reset button.
What does TPMS mean on my Acura?
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
TPMS turns on every time you start the engine, then monitors the tire pressure in each of your tires while driving. Using location and pressure indicators, this system monitors tire pressure, and allows you to check tire pressure from inside the vehicle.
How do I manually reset my TPMS light?
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.
