What does the tread light on a Honda TPMS mean?
One light is the ISO-standard tread light that indicates there is a low tire. The other light is a “TPMS” (spelled out) light that is a warning/MIL indicator light.

When does tire pressure light go out on Honda Civic?
When the calibration successfully begins, the TPMS light on the dash blinks twice. Drive the car 26 MPH or faster in a straight line and verify the light goes out. The tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) on some newer Honda cars have reverted to the old-style TPMS called indirect TPMS.
What does the TPMS light look like on a Honda Civic?
When TPMS detects low inflation, an indicator light comes on in the instrument panel. It’s the one that looks like the cross-section of a tire with an exclamation mark in the middle.
How do you reset TPMs on Honda Civic?
TPMS needs to be recalibrated each time you adjust tire pressure, rotate the tires or replace a tire. To reset TPMS, make sure the ignition is on and the transmission is in Park. Set the parking brake. Look for a button to the left of the steering column labeled with the TPMS icon.
