Does Honda tell you which tire is low TPMS?
Yes — on most recent Honda models, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can identify the specific underinflated tire on the vehicle’s display. However, the level of detail depends on the model year and trim, so some cars may still only show a general warning.
How TPMS works in Honda vehicles
Every Honda equipped with TPMS uses sensors in each tire to monitor air pressure. If any tire falls below the manufacturer’s recommended PSI, the system alerts you with a warning light on the instrument cluster. Many newer Hondas also offer a per-tire readout on the driver information display or touchscreen, showing the exact pressures and sometimes highlighting the low tire location.
Does Honda tell you which tire is low?
In practice, most newer Honda models provide a way to identify the specific low tire via the vehicle’s information displays. That said, the behavior can vary by model year and trim. Some entry-level or older trims may still only show a generic TPMS warning without per-tire details.
What to expect by model and trim
The following outlines how per-tire information tends to appear on common Honda configurations:
- Newer Hondas (roughly 2016 and newer) with a driver information display or touchscreen typically offer a Tire Pressure screen that lists each tire’s current PSI.
- Many of these displays also highlight the low tire, either by a visual cue on the corresponding position or by placing an alert next to that tire’s reading.
- Some base or older trims may still present only a general TPMS warning without identifying which tire is low.
In short, if your Honda has a modern information display that includes a Tire Pressure or TPMS screen, you should be able to see which tire is low. If not, you’ll rely on a physical check of all four tires against the door-jamb label.
How to view per-tire status on compatible Hondas
Use the following steps on most Honda models that support per-tire data in the information display:
- Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine.
- Use the steering-wheel controls to access the driver information display or the vehicle’s main menu.
- Navigate to Tire Pressure, TPMS, or a related menu option.
- Read the pressures shown for each tire and identify the one below the recommended level.
- Inflate the low tire to the recommended PSI shown on the door jamb sticker.
- Drive the vehicle a short distance if needed for the system to relearn, and check the display again.
After inflating to the correct pressure, the TPMS warning should disappear or update to reflect the new readings on the per-tire display.
If your vehicle doesn't show per-tire details
Some Honda models or trims may not present a tire-by-tire readout. In those cases, follow these steps to identify and fix the issue:
- Manually check the four tires with a gauge and compare against the recommended PSI on the door jamb label.
- Inflate each tire accordingly, then recheck that all tires are within the specified range.
- If the warning persists after inflation, consult your owner’s manual or contact a dealer to verify the TPMS sensor status or address any possible sensor fault.
Regularly verifying tire pressure is important, since TPMS readings can be affected by temperature, recent tire changes, and sensor calibration.
Summary
- Most modern Hondas can show which tire is low via a Tire Pressure/TPMS display, but this depends on model year and trim.
- Entry-level or older trims may only display a general TPMS warning without indicating the specific tire.
- On compatible models, you can navigate the vehicle’s information display to see per-tire pressures and identify the low tire.
- If per-tire data isn’t available, manually check all tires and inflate to the recommended pressure, then recheck.
