Memorizing the Tire Pressure Sensor ID

Special Tools Required 

• TPMS Trigger Tool ATEQ VT55
• TPMS Trigger Tool Bartec Wheel rite Tech 300-J-48714*

Available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program 888-424-6857

*For Canada: Available through DES-Canada 866-868-3372

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

• Replace the TPMS control unit.
• Replace the tire pressure sensor.
• Substitute a known-good wheel with tire pressure sensor.
  NOTE:

  • Make sure the TPMS tool has the latest software. Check the official Honda service website for more service information about the TPMS tool.
  • The TPMS tool is necessary to do this procedure.
  • Let the vehicle sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the tire pressure sensors to switch to sleep mode.
  • To ensure the TPMS control unit memorizes the correct sensor ID, the vehicle with the new tire pressure sensor must be at least 10 ft (3 m) away from other vehicles that have sensors.
  • When doing a tire rotation, memorizing the sensors is not needed.

1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) 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 does not, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
4. Select Sensor ID Learning from the Mode Menu on the HDS.
5. Follow the HDS screen prompts to turn on the TPMS tool.
6. Hold the TPMS tool (A) near the valve stem of one wheel, and memorize the tire pressure sensor ID by following the screen prompts on the HDS.
   NOTE:

   • See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions.
   • If you turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) before memorizing all four sensor IDs, the memorizing sensor ID is canceled.
   • If more than one sensor ID is displayed on the HDS, verify that the vehicle has not been driven for 5 minutes, and there are no other vehicles or tire pressure sensors within 10 ft (3 m).

7. Repeat step  6 for each wheel until all four tire pressure sensor IDs are memorized. When all four sensor IDs are memorized, the low tire pressure indicator or the low tire pressure/TPMS 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 or the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator does not blink.
12. Make sure the tires are inflated to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb label.
13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
