If you get an alert from your car’s TPMS, it’s essential to check your tires immediately—even if they look fine on the outside. The tire may be under-inflated or overinflated, which can cause uneven tread wear, poor fuel economy, and handling issues like pulling in one direction or another while driving at high speeds.

Resetting TPMS in Honda CRV

Turn on the ignition to the “On” position (without starting the engine).
Locate the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) button below the steering wheel.
Press and hold the TPMS button until the tire pressure light on the instrument panel blinks twice.
Release the TPMS button.
Inflate all four tires to the recommended tire pressure listed on the driver’s side door jamb or owner’s manual.
After all tires have been inflated to the proper pressure, turn off the ignition.
Restart the engine and allow it to run for at least one minute.
The tire pressure monitoring system will recalibrate itself during this time, and the tire pressure light should turn off.

Why is the tire pressure light illuminated on my Honda CR-V?

The tire pressure light typically illuminates when there is a significant variance in tire pressure among the tires or if there is a sensor malfunction. It’s essential to check and adjust tire pressures first before resetting the light.

How can I check the tire pressure on my Honda CR-V?

Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire. The recommended tire pressure can be found in the owner’s manual or on a label inside the driver’s side door jamb. Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended levels.

What is the correct tire pressure for my Honda CR-V?

The recommended tire pressure for your Honda CR-V is specified in the owner’s manual and on the label inside the driver’s side door jamb. It may vary depending on the model year and trim.

After adjusting tire pressures, why is the tire pressure light still on?

The tire pressure light may not reset immediately. It might take some driving for the system to recognize the adjusted pressures. If the light persists, a manual reset may be necessary.

Where is the TPMS button located in a Honda CR-V?

The TPMS button is typically located beneath the steering wheel on the driver’s side. It might be labeled as “TPMS” or “Tire Pressure.”

What if my Honda CR-V model doesn't have a TPMS button?

Some Honda CR-V models automatically reset the tire pressure light after you’ve adjusted the tire pressures. Refer to your owner’s manual for model-specific information if there is no dedicated TPMS button.
