MAINTENANCE REQUIRED REMINDER LIGHT RESET - PROCEDURE 2

To reset MAINT REQ'D indicator light, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Push and hold the SELECT/RESET button and turn ignition switch to ON (II) position. Continue to hold button for more than 10 seconds or until MAINT REQ'D light goes out.

MAINTENANCE REQUIRED REMINDER LIGHT RESET - PROCEDURE 3

  1. For the first 8000 miles after maintenance required indicator is reset, the MAINT REQ'D indicator light illuminates when the ignition is turned on, then will go out after 2 seconds. When mileage is 8000-10,000 miles, the MAINT REQ'D reminder light will illuminate for 2 seconds, then blink for 10 seconds, and then go out. When mileage exceeds 10,000 miles, MAINT REQ'D indicator light illuminates and stays on while ignition switch is in ON (II) position.
  2. To reset the MAINT REQ'D indicator light, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button. While still holding button, turn ignition switch to ON position, with engine off. Hold SELECT/RESET button for about 10 seconds until indicator resets.
  3. If MAINT REQ'D reminder light does not reset, ensure headlights, parking lights, or both are turned off when resetting reminder light. The MAINT REQ'D indicator cannot be reset if any of these lights are on. If vehicle is equipped with daytime running lights and lights come on when ignition switch is turned to ON (II) position, daytime running lights must be disabled before indicator light can be reset.

MAINTENANCE REQUIRED REMINDER LIGHT RESET - PROCEDURE 4

  1. When distance driven since maintenance required indicator was reset is 6000 miles, the MAINT REQ'D reminder light will start to blink. After exceeding 7500 miles without having scheduled maintenance performed and MAINT REQ'D reminder light reset, light will remain on until it is reset.
  2. To reset the light, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Press and hold TRIP button, located on lower right side of instrument cluster. While still holding TRIP button, turn ignition switch to ON position with engine off. Hold button for about 10 seconds until indicator resets.

OXYGEN SENSOR WARNING LIGHT RESET - PROCEDURE 1

  1. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) must be replaced every 90,000 miles. When odometer reaches 90,000 miles, O2S indicator light on dash will illuminate, and then every subsequent 90,000 miles. After servicing, turn off or reset warning light.
  2. To reset warning light, remove instrument cluster. Remove masking tape from hole "B". (Scheme 2)or (Scheme 3). Remove screw from hole "A" and insert into hole "B". Apply new masking tape to hole "A".

SERVICE INTERVAL REMINDER RESET - PROCEDURE 1

Oil, filter and service interval indicator flags/lights activate every 7500 miles. To reset indicators, insert ignition key into appropriate slot below glowing indicator flags/lights at lower right corner of instrument cluster. Push key in until reminder window changes from Red to Green.

TPMS RESET - PROCEDURE 1

Note. There is no TPMS reset procedure when re-inflating tires to the correct specification. Ensure tires are inflated to recommend pressure, and the TPMS indicator will go out shortly.

Note. If a flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, and the flat tire is stored in the cargo area, the low pressure indicator will stay on but the appropriate tire indicator will go off. This prevents the customer from thinking there is a problem with the spare tire. When the flat tire is taken out of the vehicle for repair, the TPMS indicator will come on because the system is no longer receiving the signal from the tire's transmitter.

All four tire pressure sensor IDs must be memorized to the TPMS control unit whenever you do any of these actions

  1. Replace the TPMS control unit.
  2. Replace the tire pressure sensor
  3. Substitute a known-good wheel with tire pressure sensor

When doing a tire rotation, memorizing the sensors in not needed.

Memorizing The Tire Pressure Sensor IDs

Note. For vehicles that use this procedure, a tire pressure sensor trigger tool is needed. As early as 2007 Honda started requiring the use, on some models, of the TPMS Trigger Tool ATEQ VT55 instead of the standard Sensor Initializer Tool AKS0620006 or Trigger Tool Bartec Wheelrite Tech 300-J-48714. Honda is not entirely clear on which models the VT55 only can be used. The models listed below have ID memorizing procedures that name the VT55 only. The procedures for all other models name the VT55 and one of the older type trigger tools, or just an older trigger tool. The VT55 can be used on all models with initiator-less TPM Systems. Crosstour, CR-V (2007-12), CR-Z, Fit (2009 & later): Only use the TPMS Trigger Tool ATEQ VT55 All Other Models: Can use either TPMS Sensor Initializer Tool AKS0620006 or TPMS Trigger Tool Bartec Wheelrite Tech 300-J-48714

Note. To ensure the control unit memorizes the correct ID, the vehicle with the new sensor must be at least 10 ft (3 m) away from other vehicles that have tire pressure sensors.

  1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II)
  3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the TPMS control unit. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
  4. Select Sensor ID Learning from the mode menu on the HDS.
  5. Follow HDS screen prompts to turn on the TPMS sensor initializer tool. NOTE: On the TPMS Sensor Initializer Tool (AKS0620006), verify that the power switch (B) is in the "Low" position. see scheme 10 If the power switch is in the "High" position, more than one sensor or sensors on other vehicles may be activated. Make sure the power switch is in the "Low" position.
  6. Hold the TPMS sensor initializer tool near one wheel, memorize the pressure sensor ID by following the screen prompts on the HDS. see scheme 11 NOTE: If you turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) before memorizing all four sensor IDs, the memorizing ID is cancelled. If more than one sensor ID is displayed on the HDS, verify that the power switch is in the "LOW" position, the vehicle has not been driven for 5 minutes, and there are no other vehicles within 10 ft (3 m). See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions.
  7. Repeat step 6 for each wheel until all four sensor IDs are memorized. When all four IDs are memorized, the low tire pressure indicator blinks
  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
  10. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.
  11. Make sure the low tire pressure indicator does not blink.
  12. Make sure the tires are inflated to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb sticker.

TPMS RESET - PROCEDURE 2

Note. When a tire pressure sensor is replaced, the sensor ID must be memorized by the TPMS control unit.

Note. If a flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, and the flat tire is stored in the cargo area, the low pressure indicator will stay on but the appropriate tire indicator will go off. This prevents the customer from thinking there is a problem with the spare tire. When the flat tire is taken out of the vehicle for repair, the TPMS indicator will come on because the system is no longer receiving the signal from the tire's transmitter.

TPMS RESET - PROCEDURE 3

This vehicle is equipped with an indirect TPMS that doesnt use tire pressure sensors mounted inside the tires. It uses the existing VSA wheel speed sensors to monitor and compare tire characteristics while driving.

TPMS calibration is required after performing any of the following actions

  1. Adjusting tire pressures
  2. Rotating the tires
  3. Replacing the tire(s)
  4. Updating/replacing the VSA modulator-control unit

Calibration begins when TPMS switch is pressed or Calibration is selected through the Multi-information display (MID). The process finishes automatically as the customer drives the vehicle. This takes about 30 minutes of cumulative driving at 30 to 60 mph.

Calibration - Models Without Multi-Information Display (MID)

  1. Make sure the tires are inflated to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb label. Vehicle must be stopped with the transmission in neutral (M/T) or P or N (A/T, CVT).
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  3. Press the TPMS switch (lower dash, left of steering wheel) for 3 seconds.
  4. When the calibration successfully begins, the TPMS indicator (instrument cluster, center left) blinks twice.
  5. Calibration is completed after driving 31 to 62 mph (50 to 100 km/h), steadily without much acceleration or deceleration for about 30 minutes.

Calibration - Models With Multi-Information Display (MID)

  1. Make sure the tires are inflated to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb label. Vehicle must be stopped with the transmission in neutral (M/T) or P or N (A/T, CVT).
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  3. Use ARROW buttons (right side of steering wheel) to select VEHICLE SETTINGS, then press the SEL/RESET button. TPMS CALIBRATION appears on the display.
  4. Press the SEL/RESET button. The display switches to the customization setup screen, where you can select CANCEL or CALIBRATE.
  5. Use ARROW buttons to select CALIBRATE, then press the SEL/RESET button. CALIBRATION STARTED screen appears, then the display returns to the customization menu screen NOTE: If the CALIBRATION FAILED TO START message appears, repeat steps 4 and 5.
  6. Calibration is completed after driving 31 to 62 mph (50 to 100 km/h), steadily without much acceleration or deceleration for about 30 minutes.

TPMS RESET - PROCEDURE 4

Note. Make sure the tire pressure is properly adjusted to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb label before doing the TPMS calibration.

Do the TPMS calibration after doing the following items

  1. Adjust the tire pressure
  2. Rotating the tires
  3. Replacing the tire(s)
  4. Update/replace the VSA modulator-control unit

The calibration begins when the calibration is selected through the MID (multi-information display). The calibration is completed after driving in an ideal driving condition (28 to 65 mph (45 to 105 km/h), driving steadily without much acceleration or deceleration) for about 18 minutes. Full functionality of the system cannot be performed properly if the calibration is not completed.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the ON mode. NOTE: Vehicle must be stopped with the transmission in neutral (M/T) or P or N (A/T and CVT).
  2. Press the MENU button (left side of steering wheel) to enter the customizing mode.
  3. Press the AUDIO REMOTE + or - button to select CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS > TPMS CALIBRATION > INITIALISE.
  4. Press the AUDIO REMOTE + or - button to select YES.
  5. When the calibration successfully begins, "TPMS CALIBRATION HAS BEEN INITIALIZED" gets displayed on MID when the system received the calibration.

Note. If the calibration does not begin successfully, "UNABLE TO INITIALIZE TPMS CALIBRATION" gets displayed on MID. Troubleshoot the TPMS.
