Honda CR-V Dashboard Guide: How to Reset Tire Pressure Light in a Honda CR-V

At the wheel of your Honda CR-V, you want to ensure your tires are at their best to deliver a smooth ride around Leominster and Fitchburg, and that’s why it’s important to monitor your vehicle’s tire pressure. This is all done via your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) which will light up when it’s time to put more air in your tires. Learn more about how to fill up and reset the tire pressure light in a Honda CR-V and then rely on the experts at Ron Bouchard Honda for your next auto service needs!

What Does a Flashing Tire Pressure Light Mean?

It’s important to know how to reset the low tire pressure in a Honda CR-V as the wrong pressure can impact your car’s optimal performance around Leominster and Gardner. As your tires lose pressure, this display will light up, indicating it’s time for a refill at a local gas station or even at our service center at Ron Bouchard Honda. Another reason this might be flashing is that the tire pressure sensors in your CR-V use a battery and a flashing tire pressure light can also mean that it needs to be replaced.

How to Reset Low Tire Pressure Light in a Honda CR-V

After you’ve had the chance to fill up your tires to the proper level, here’s how to reset the tire pressure light in your Honda CR-V below in a few simple steps:

• Drive at or above 50 mph to reset the sensor for 10 minutes. This can cause your sensor to reset the next time you turn on the car.
• With the vehicle off, turn the key to the “On” position, but don’t start the car. Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. Start the car and wait 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh. The tire pressure monitor reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel. If you can’t find it, check the user’s manual.
• Inflate all tires to 3 PSI over their recommended amount, then deflate them completely. Be sure to include the spare tire, as it may have a sensor as well. Once they’re all deflated, reinflate to the recommended tire pressure.
• With the vehicle off, disconnect the positive battery cable with a wrench. Turn the car on and honk the horn for about three seconds. This will discharge any power still stored in the vehicle. Then reconnect the battery.
