All about the tpms light. What it might mean and how to fix it! New OEM Genuine Honda Sensor: amzn.to/2y3SptY My approved buy list: www.amazon.com/shop/drewtalks247
Man, I wished I’d seen this video sooner! I had this coming on and off during a long trip. I kept pulling over and checking my pressure every time it came on! Thanks for posting this.
Thank you. Literally everything on Google talks about the actual low tire pressure light when you Google TPMS light. Your video was the only thing I found actually talking about the “TPMS” light, not the low tire pressure light. 👍🏼
me too lol so what should i do my steering wheel def goes to one side its anoying ? im buying car tomorow it def wont pass inspection with that problem im buying a 2010 honda civic coupe
Thank you so much , this light comes of and on in my car and you have eased my worries about it from watching this video. I actually just got new tires about 2 months ago and this tpms light started coming on last month
It’s a helpful video. I was freak out when I still saw it after replacing two front tires but now I know it was one in the rear tires. It’s not a big deal! Thanks
I was driving to work when my light turned on and I was so nervous until I saw your video! Thank you so very much!! I have a 2010 Honda civic so my car is even older than yours LOL Plus mine has 96,000 miles on it I’m hoping this bad boy will last me just a few more years!
2010 Honda Civic got the TPMS malfunction telltale light (initially got Horse Shoe Air low warning light for 5 mins of driving)and stayed on even after inflating the tire's. Even I thought one TPMS sensor could be bad and got an estimate of $250 for each sensor from the dealership. Then went to another top reviewed Auto shop near me to know their pricing. Team just verified all tires pressure and found few tires were over inflated, then brought all tires to 32PSI as per recommendation. After this mentioned me to drive for sometime, then I went about 4 miles and Surprisingly TPMS lamp got cleared on its own. Hopefully this experience will help someone to self diagnose before going for repair. Thank you.
Here is my experience on TPMS...my car Honda Civic 2008 was in snow for about three days and when I started driving it on fourth day, first five minutes I don’t see anything on dashboard and later I saw TPMS popped up on the dashboard so I took to discount tires and there they suggested to fill air in the tires to make sure the air pressure is all good and they have asked me to wait until 15 minutes or more to give it time and then see if that TPMS on dashboard will go away..that’s exactly what happened after around 30mins TPMS disappeared from dash board 😀😀
Awesome video! I have a 2009 Civic two door, 64k miles. Light came on... Good timing as I'm now looking to get 4 new rims as the current are beat up and one rim has balance issue where garage servicing said they would not place it on the front when time to rotate and I'm way past point to rotate.
Due to an accident, I had a new wheel and tire installed on my 2008 Honda Civic. The TPMS light then came on which I assumed was due to the sensor needing to be reset in the new wheel. I took it back to the body shop where they ran a scan and found two tires with low pressure. They inflated the tires and the TPMS light went off. Strange that the low tire pressure light did not come on. My owners manual says if the TPMS light is on the system will shut off and no longer monitor tire pressure.
Ya i have a 2011 and the tpms light came on the day after i rotated my tires. He specificly told me the tire pressure is good so i dont know why the light came on but the cr is 10 years old. Im just gonna deal with the light i dont wanna spend 250!
TPMS systems are a pain in the butt. They were mandated by the US government in the Year 2007 because Ford Motor Company and Firestone Tire Company advised people to inflate tire pressure to 22 lbs in their Ford Explorers because they rode so bad. In hot climates many tires delaminated and fell apart and these vehicles rolled over at high speeds. Inexpensive over reaction on the part of government regulators.
I just got new tires put on 3 days ago and the light was on. Unfortunately, I scheduled my day very tightly so after picking up my car, I didn’t have time to return to the shop to have it dealt with. Is this something that the shop should have seen and fixed? I wonder if it’s worth it to take the car back in to the shop for this? Is this usually included in new tire installation or is this a separate cost?
09 Civic and tire pressure (!) came on and filled the low tire and the light went off but next time in the car it was back so i figured i had a leak but checked and all tires good. Later the (!) symbol was replaced with the TPMS light so came here and just question tgat the system will work with this light on? I am old so checking the tires myself is what i am used to so will do that but does the dystem still work with TPMS lite on?
Thanks for the great video! I drive a 2011 Honda Accord and I noticed the 'TPMS' light (not the low tire pressure indicator) coming on a few miles into driving. I was merging on to a freeway the other day and this fairly sized rock pops up on the freeway suddenly. I tried to swerve and avoid it, but couldn't and ended up driving over it. There was a truck driving in front of me, so I could not see the rock from distance. Luckily, my tires or the car's body were not damaged and hopefully there are no leaks. I am taking the car to a mechanic to check if there are any leaks or if there is any other damage not visible to the casual everyday driver from outside. If its just the TPMS sensor that has gone bad, I will leave it as is like you mentioned and get it fixed when I get the wheels aligned and rotated.
Yeah that's normal, I have the same 2011 Honda Civic LX. Light comes on in the winter goes off when it gets a little warmer and vice versa. It's a shame they took away our ability to reset. Dearships only want to make money off of folks like us.
That is normal because tire pressure changes up or down One PSI for every 10F change in *tire* temperature. In physics it's called the Gas Law. Above absolute zero (~453 F) applies to all gasses, air (20% O2 + 80% N2) included. If you set your TP in a 70F garage and then park overnight in 30F, next morning your cold tires will be ~4 PSI lower.
So I got “aftermarket” (not stock) wheels/tires and I bought the TMPS sensors as an add-on, so could this mean all four are “bad”? Do o need to have them programmed? I thought that if I add them that’s all I need to do and it will calibrate itself with the car or something... idk lol
Thanks for the video. My tires are good so my guess is that the battery really is dead. I’d rather just leave the light on as opposed to spending $150.
You mentioned twice that the TPMS is still working. My TPMS light has been on for almost 2 years and I have had numerous flat tires and I never get the ! low tire pressure light anymore. It seems like it is NOT working now that there is an issue with the TPMS. It's not a huge deal because I check my tires pressure manually. Do you know what type of battery I would need for the sensor? I'll try to find a friend with a reader to see which TPMS sensor is dead.
thanks for the video! this helps a lot :) definitely placated me. but i do have something i hope to consult you about... my TPMS light came on 5 days after i installed and then rotated my tires at Goodyear. after i took it back and had them check again they found nothing wrong (they deal with TPMS everyday apparently) but just a mismatched tire-pressure difference between fronts & rears. they told me the light should go off on its own after i drive it for a bit. however, it's still on now that i've driven 20+ miles. so maybe the sensor turned bad, but i just feel confused. do you happen to also know if the light can go out automatically in case of a disinflation?
He is right about it that even after you inflate the tires sometimes it can take 5-10 minutes of driving to reset. I might also try: -First thing is take it to a real dealer and have them "Scan" the car and see what the error code is throwing, then go from there. If you do not want to go to dealer try: -disconnect your negative on the battery and this will reset everything, maybe that fixes it -check your tires again make sure enough air. -maybe bad battery or sensor.
Just had this come on today. I recently had new brakes installed and a new tire installed on my Civic - I could take this back to Belle Tire and have them take a look at this and resolve it for free, right? I could claim this is potentially related to the recent service? 🤔
Everytime you go to dealership for any little thing it's like $1000 plus labor plus hour plus tax plus the time you talked to them plus whatever they searched up too expensive I'll just leave it as is
Even when the TPMS is working it doesn't indicate which tire is low. I have a $12 tire pressure gauge and use that to check my tire pressure. My Civic is a 2008 sedan and a few weeks ago the TPMS light came on. I called Honda and the price of replacing the sensors was about $200 each! I'll check my tire pressure once a month and save $$$$!
Couldn't turn it off, but at least your video was helpful to know it isn't a big deal or much of a problem. The other videos for this stuff are crap. Thanks bud.
Thank you Ryan, I appreciate you commenting! I hope you get it fixed. Mine is still on....lol probably will be for another few years as I have 60k mile tires on my ride.
I bought a 2011 ex 4 doors Honda Civic, it didn't come with the sensors if I buy them online do you guys think that it will work immediately or it needs to be installed by a certified technician
hmmmm not sure. It may have them and they just did not "activate" them. For example when I bought this car, they said to you want the "alarm" enabled for some $$$ and I passed, supposedly there is an alarm already on it. You can always add after market ones as well.. In my opinion its not worth it, but you can try if you want.
is it common for a chime to coincide with TPMS light? My son has a 2011 honda ridgeline and this line came on today.... its getting cold outside... and it has this pesky chime like the one that you get when you dont have your seatbelt on. im searching everywhere i dont see where anyone has mentioned this chime.
Can you just replace the battery of the TPMS or have to get a whole new assembly. Because isn't it a closed assembly with no way to open it without breaking it?
gotta get a new sensor, and best to replace them all if it's been 10 years, as they will all go, one by one, anyway. and it's not cheap. all 4 with labor is around $500 at a dealer
What I need to learn is how to fix the TPMS when all senders are sending signals. I just had 4 new tires installed. The senders are all good, but the TPMS light is always on.
Thanks for the info. Conveniently it's almost time to change over to snows so I lucked out there (how often does that happen with car problems?!) only going to be annoyed for a few weeks :)
Thanks this video helps a lot. I have the same year, model, around the same mileage. I've never had any problems before and this sounds like an easy fix.
I had two tires replaced then a couple days later this tpms light turned on. It’s the first time I’m replacing tires on this car (i’m not the original owner). Is it normal for this light to come on after replacing tires??
never have, and they are probably messed up because this car was in a front end crash...going to run this car in the ground. I bought it for 3k, 2 years ago was salvaged.
Thanks drew. Funny thing is I see a lot of people like to Rev to much on these cars, it tends wear out mounts quickly although I don't drive like that.
No necessarily. The TPMS sensors are integrated with the valve stems. If you move the valve stems from the original wheels to the aftermarket rims, the TPMS system should function normally.
I have a 2009 civic and the instrument panel looks very much like the one on your video. The letters TPMS are lighted up even after inflating four tires. Aside from the dealer, can other shops like American Tire Depot fix this problem? Just thinking they charge less than the dealer.
@@riggedsportsnetwork6554 I brought my car to Walmart, American Tire Depot and Firestone shops, they said only the dealer can fix it (TPMS letters lighted) cause it has something to do with the car's computer setup. I called the dealer and diagnostic fee is almost 200 dollars which can go to the total cost of repair if you decide to have it fixed. But I don't know how much I will spend if I have dealer do the work. I suspect it can be pricey, as the diagnostic fee itself alone is already a lot of money. I just decided to leave it alone, and just check my tire pressure every 2 weeks or so. It is a common problem of Honda cars.
Seems my experience is same as others. The tpms letters came on shortly/1 day after getting new tires about 9 months ago. The tire place said they couldn't fix it as all the sensors were working. That it was something with the unit or computer and had to take to dealer. They assured me any flat would still show up as low pressure but that has not happened. Also $165 at dealer just to do a diagnostic and who knows how much it will cost to fix it.
@@sharonchang4103 My light came on right after I had my tires rotated. Kind of makes you think they messed up the TPMS. Not worth it taking it to the dealer and spending hundreds of dollars. Not that hard to see if your tires need air.
There is a battery in one of the tpms sensors starting to go bad. Generally toe sensor batteries are servicable. Most tire stores will be able to sell you a sensor and put it in the wheel for between 45 and $65. Forget the $150 dealership fee b.s.
To all owners.. Do yourselves a favor buy the scanner autel then put a new one in.. Follow all instructions.. Very simple. The tool will pay for itself once you know how to do it. Scanner comes with 2 sensors I believe. However, it only works with autel sensors but you can fix any make and model.
Had no problems with my accord 09 Mecanic put air in tires and the light came on dealership said tires perfect if it doesn’t reset itself it’s the sensor, can heat make it come on?
Finally a video that shows the exact same light on my 2010 accord! Lol just bought some factory Honda stocks and light is still on. Guessing the battery is dead or bad sensor sooo ima try my best to figure this out and let you know. I hate having dash lights even my check engine light on bugs me lol
DrewTalks yesss according to my tire shop. Batteries in the tire sensors last about 5-6 years. eBay has them for like $50-80 , depends on brand, for a complete set that I’ll prolly get and when I need to replace my tires, I’ll have the tire shop install them, free of charge since they gotta put a new plug anyways. Easy fix, hope that helps!
same millage but a 2010. Dose it have to be a dealership to fix it? how about any mechanic? don't they have tools for it. we're not replacing a ecm here, just a battery in a tire. hahaha thanks!
Not sure, call and ask, the light might just go off if you replace the battery. If it doesnt just get the battery replaced go to the dealer and tell them you want it reset, they should not charge you for that.
I think when you replace tires and the TPMS sensor letters comes on it means the tech forgot to reset it. All they do is use a remote and reset it, done.
Why would they charge you to take the tires out? Unless they are Plastic Man and they can stretch and go around tires , they have to remove it to work on it.
. The donut spare was put on and after the spare was on for 10 miles or so the TPMS light came on. The other day I got a new tire and they said one tire was not working so I told them to fix it for 65 bucks. So the light was still on after they worked on it but the guy said it probably would go off after driving a half hour. Well it's the next day and it's still on so I'll have to take it back in to the tire place.
Thank you so much! I freaked out this morning when I went to work. I couldn't focus on my work until I watched your video 5 minutes ago. Thank you!!!!
Nice, glad it helped!
Man, I wished I’d seen this video sooner! I had this coming on and off during a long trip. I kept pulling over and checking my pressure every time it came on! Thanks for posting this.
I think ignoring the TPMS light is not a good suggestion.
@@jasonbarnes2636Yeah, I don’t think it is either
@@xmanofficial Well of course it's always better to fix it cause at least one of your tires will not be letting you know if they sre low on air.
Thank you. Literally everything on Google talks about the actual low tire pressure light when you Google TPMS light. Your video was the only thing I found actually talking about the “TPMS” light, not the low tire pressure light. 👍🏼

Thank You! Your calm explanation of why this light came on made me chill out and just deal with when I purchase new tires.
Super helpful, simple, and detailed! Thanks!
Thanks Sergio
I have a 2009 Honda Civic and I had no idea because I do not have the owners manual. I feel so much better! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
It’s a helpful video. I was freak out when I still saw it after replacing two front tires but now I know it was one in the rear tires. It’s not a big deal! Thanks
This showed me what I needed to know. Thanks!

Same bro.
How do I turn it off completely? BTW, I replaced my sensors with an aftermarket system called FOBO. I do recommend it.
Well that was super informative, thank you!
Great video thanks I thought I was gonna have a flat while heading to work

TPMS systems are a pain in the butt. They were mandated by the US government in the Year 2007 because Ford Motor Company and Firestone Tire Company advised people to inflate tire pressure to 22 lbs in their Ford Explorers because they rode so bad. In hot climates many tires delaminated and fell apart and these vehicles rolled over at high speeds. Inexpensive over reaction on the part of government regulators.
a whole 22 lbs? do you mean deflate to 22?
That’s typical government regulation. It almost always backfires and does more harm than good
It's there because lazy ass people can't be responsible and check their pressure
I just got new tires put on 3 days ago and the light was on. Unfortunately, I scheduled my day very tightly so after picking up my car, I didn’t have time to return to the shop to have it dealt with.

My TPMS light on my 2011 Honda Civic EX comes on when it gets to around 20 degrees outside and the goes back out when it gets warmer...

Thank you! Do you know if it has to be done by the dealership? I may just take it and bite the bullet any who lol
they make make sensors you can buy not sure thouigh
Thank you man! 🙏
I need to go to inspection the TPMS light can by a problem if is on?
Maybe, I was able to SMOG with it on.... and im in CA
When is the last time you change motor mounts. I was about to make my purchase but it seems it's a common flaw. What a bummer. What your thoughts?
never have, and they are probably messed up because this car was in a front end crash...going to run this car in the ground. I bought it for 3k, 2 years ago was salvaged.
I am going to see if mine vibrates or not at a stop...
Thanks drew. Funny thing is I see a lot of people like to Rev to much on these cars, it tends wear out mounts quickly although I don't drive like that.
Yeah I do not drive like that, I understand its an economy car lol
So this happens once u put aftermarket rims on?
Potentially unless there is a work around
No necessarily. The TPMS sensors are integrated with the valve stems. If you move the valve stems from the original wheels to the aftermarket rims, the TPMS system should function normally.
I have a 2009 civic and the instrument panel looks very much like the one on your video. The letters TPMS are lighted up even after inflating four tires. Aside from the dealer, can other shops like American Tire Depot fix this problem? Just thinking they charge less than the dealer.
I also have a 2009. My light just came on. Did you ever do anything about it?
@@riggedsportsnetwork6554 I brought my car to Walmart, American Tire Depot and Firestone shops, they said only the dealer can fix it (TPMS letters lighted) cause it has something to do with the car's computer setup. I called the dealer and diagnostic fee is almost 200 dollars which can go to the total cost of repair if you decide to have it fixed. But I don't know how much I will spend if I have dealer do the work. I suspect it can be pricey, as the diagnostic fee itself alone is already a lot of money. I just decided to leave it alone, and just check my tire pressure every 2 weeks or so. It is a common problem of Honda cars.
Seems my experience is same as others. The tpms letters came on shortly/1 day after getting new tires about 9 months ago. The tire place said they couldn't fix it as all the sensors were working. That it was something with the unit or computer and had to take to dealer. They assured me any flat would still show up as low pressure but that has not happened.
Also $165 at dealer just to do a diagnostic and who knows how much it will cost to fix it.
@@sharonchang4103 My light came on right after I had my tires rotated. Kind of makes you think they messed up the TPMS. Not worth it taking it to the dealer and spending hundreds of dollars. Not that hard to see if your tires need air.
@@mcimd8229 You can see if your tires are low on air. Not sure if we really need TPMS.
Great. Thank you!
Will past smog check with that light on??
Yes, I STILL have my light on and had my car smogged last year...
What does it mean if it comes on then a few seconds later goes off? Thanks.
It could be the battery slowly dieing or a connection problem
There is a battery in one of the tpms sensors starting to go bad. Generally toe sensor batteries are servicable. Most tire stores will be able to sell you a sensor and put it in the wheel for between 45 and $65. Forget the $150 dealership fee b.s.
The sensor batteries are not replaceable. But aftermarket sensors are not expensive.
What if you just had your tires changes and that TPMS is on now
Go back to the place and let them know they should fix it
To all owners.. Do yourselves a favor buy the scanner autel then put a new one in.. Follow all instructions.. Very simple. The tool will pay for itself once you know how to do it. Scanner comes with 2 sensors I believe. However, it only works with autel sensors but you can fix any make and model.
Yes very helpful
Thank you very much
Gave you a like mate :)
thank you Jay :)
Im wondering if its a fuse for me because the guy that tested said all of them were dead but how was it possible for all of them to die at once
They probably all expired at the same time if they all have the same dates.
I have the car like a 4 month ago and the first thing I changed was the battery but just yesterday that light is going on.
hmmmm wierd...maybe take off the negative terminal to your battery to reset everything?>
Thank you man!)
Had no problems with my accord 09 Mecanic put air in tires and the light came on dealership said tires perfect if it doesn’t reset itself it’s the sensor, can heat make it come on?
It was over 100 here when tpms light came on
intersting, take it to a dealerhsip and see if they can reset it.
@@drewtalks it was a sensor I had it fixed at a tire shop!
How much did you pay for them to fix the sensor?
@@jessicabenavidez90 around $60
Finally a video that shows the exact same light on my 2010 accord! Lol just bought some factory Honda stocks and light is still on. Guessing the battery is dead or bad sensor sooo ima try my best to figure this out and let you know. I hate having dash lights even my check engine light on bugs me lol
glad to help and offer some settling, it is scary to see new lights on the dash!
DrewTalks yesss according to my tire shop. Batteries in the tire sensors last about 5-6 years. eBay has them for like $50-80 , depends on brand, for a complete set that I’ll prolly get and when I need to replace my tires, I’ll have the tire shop install them, free of charge since they gotta put a new plug anyways. Easy fix, hope that helps!
Thanks for this video. It saved me from going to my mechanic. I'm just going to leave that light on.
I need to take it off tpms wont let me take of vsa
My light comes on at random and then turns off at random. Started happening after tire rotation.
Go back and complain! THat should not happen, maybe it from moisture?
Thanks
Thank you boss, and nice like.
thanks ham
same millage but a 2010. Dose it have to be a dealership to fix it? how about any mechanic? don't they have tools for it. we're not replacing a ecm here, just a battery in a tire. hahaha
thanks!
Not sure, call and ask, the light might just go off if you replace the battery. If it doesnt just get the battery replaced go to the dealer and tell them you want it reset, they should not charge you for that.
@@drewtalks i was told by the Honda delear
Youll need the tpms seniors fix in order for it to stop showing
Thank you 🙂
I think when you replace tires and the TPMS sensor letters comes on it means the tech forgot to reset it. All they do is use a remote and reset it, done.
Best video
You should do a vid on how to uninstall aftermarket alarm. It’s a Battery killer
good idea
What if I have different tires on it ?
You can have any tires the tire sensor rests on the rim not the tire
Como apagar la luz de baja presion de aire en un civic honda 2010
thank you!
Glad to help David!
Why would they charge you to take the tires out? Unless they are Plastic Man and they can stretch and go around tires , they have to remove it to work on it.
Thank you so much.
Always welcome
Mine On My 2010 Civic Started Right After I Got All 4 Tires Changed..
bruh i changed my tires 3 days ago and it popped up
. The donut spare was put on and after the spare was on for 10 miles or so the TPMS light came on. The other day I got a new tire and they said one tire was not working so I told them to fix it for 65 bucks. So the light was still on after they worked on it but the guy said it probably would go off after driving a half hour. Well it's the next day and it's still on so I'll have to take it back in to the tire place.
Yeah sorry to hear hopefully the tire place can help you
