Honda Accord: If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS IndicatorComes On or Blinks

• Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink

A tire pressure is significantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.

If there is a problem with the TPMS or the compact spare tire is installed, the indicator blinks for about one minute, and then stays on.

• What to do when the indicator comes on

Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.

Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the driver side doorjamb.
 - Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.

• What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on

Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact spare tire causes the indicator to blink, change the tire to a full-size tire.

The indicator goes off after driving for a few miles (kilometers).
 - Calibrate the TPMS after a full-size tire is reinstalled.

NOTICE

Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the prescribed level.
