The location of the Acura TPMS reset button may vary depending on the specific model and year of the vehicle. However, here are some common methods to reset the TPMS on Acura vehicles:
1. Drive for 10 minutes above 50 mph: This is often all it takes for the TPMS to be reset the next time you turn on your vehicle.
2. Use the TPMS reset button: Some Acura models have a TPMS reset button located under the steering wheel. The exact placement of the button can be found in the owner’s manual.
3. Inflate and deflate tires: Inflate all tires that have a sensor to 3 psi over the recommended pressure, then completely deflate them before filling each to the correct pressure.
4. Disconnect the positive battery terminal: If all the above methods fail to reset the Acura TPMS light, and you have not visited a service center, you can try disconnecting the positive battery terminal while the vehicle is off.
Please note that these methods are general guidelines, and it’s always recommended to consult the owner’s manual for your specific Acura model for accurate instructions on how to reset the TPMS.

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.
How do you manually turn off TPMS light?
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.
What does the TPMS symbol look like?
The TPMS low tire pressure indicator is a yellow symbol that illuminates on the dashboard instrument panel in the shape of a tire cross-section (that resembles a horseshoe) with an exclamation point. That indicator light in your vehicle has a history.
How do you turn off the TPMS light on a Acura?
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.
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.
What is the TPMS system on an Acura?
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.
It is worth pointing out that not all vehicles have a TPMS reset button, and the system may automatically reset itself once the tyre pressure is adjusted correctly. If you’re uncertain if your vehicle has a reset button, refer to the owner’s manual or get help from a local dealership.
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.
Where is my TPMS located?
The tire pressure sensor is typically found within the tire itself, mounted on the wheel assembly. These sensors relay crucial information to the vehicle’s computer, triggering the tire pressure sensor light when a discrepancy is detected.
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.
