On the 2008 Honda Accord, resetting the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is largely an automatic operation. Unlike newer models, this Accord does not have a physical reset button or a menu option to turn off the light.

The procedure requires specific steps. First, check the pressure of all four tyres with a reliable gauge, using the recommended values indicated on the label inside the driver’s door.

Inflate each tyre to the exact indicated pressure. If the car has a full-size spare with a sensor, check that too. Once all tyres are at the correct pressure, drive the car at a speed of at least 20 mph (about 32 km/h) for 10-20 minutes.

The control unit needs this time to read the new data from the sensors in the wheels. If the light remains on after driving, there may be a faulty sensor or a dead battery in one of the units: sensors typically last 7-10 years.

If the light flashes before staying on, it indicates a system malfunction, not low pressure: in that case, a mechanic with a scanner is needed to find the faulty sensor.
