Memorizing the Tire Pressure Sensor ID
Memorizing the Tire Pressure Sensor IDSpecial Tools Required
TPMS sensor initializer tool AKS0620006
Available through the American Honda Tool and Equipment Program; call 1-888-424-6857
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:
^ 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.
^ When doing a tire rotation, memorizing the sensors in not needed.
1. With the ignition switch at LOCK (0) wait 5 minutes or more for the TPMS sensors to go to sleep mode. 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 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 (A). Verify the power switch (B) 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.
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. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
13. Reduce the pressure in one tire until it is less than the appropriate specification.
14. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
15. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.
16. Make sure the low tire pressure indicator turns on, then inflate the tire.
17. Repeat step 12 to 16 for all the other tires.
18. Clear any DTCs with the HDS.
