Problem overview

Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing issues with the TPMS light activating after changing a flat tire, indicating a detected change in tire pressure. These owners often find it necessary to check the tire pressure in all tires, including the spare, to ensure it meets recommended specifications. Additionally, some owners may struggle to locate the TPMS reset button, which is typically found under the steering column or on the center console, and in some models, it is positioned to the left side of the steering wheel. After pressing and holding the reset button, some owners report uncertainty about whether the TPMS light has been successfully reset, as it should blink before going out. It is crucial for owners to monitor the TPMS indicator after resetting to confirm that it remains off, as this light is an important safety feature that alerts drivers to tire pressure changes affecting driving efficiency and safety.
