Where is the TPMS reset button on a 2006 Acura TL?
The TPMS reset control on a 2006 Acura TL is typically a small, recessed button located on the lower left side of the dash, near the hood-release lever. Pressing and holding it initiates a relearn after tire pressures are set. Some trims from this era may not have a dedicated reset button and rely on driving-based relearn or a dealer/tool procedure.
Where to look on the dash
In most 2006 TL models, the TPMS reset control is a small button on the lower left portion of the dash, close to the hood-release lever and the edge of the driver's footwell. It may be labeled "TPMS" or display a tire-pressure symbol, and it can be recessed so it isn’t immediately obvious. If you can’t locate a button in that area, your car may not have a dedicated reset switch and use an alternate relearn method instead.
To perform a reset on a TPMS button-equipped model, follow these steps:
- Inflate all tires to the recommended cold pressures shown on the driver's door jamb sticker.
- Turn the ignition to ON (engine off) and locate the TPMS button.
- Press and hold the TPMS button until the TPMS indicator in the instrument cluster blinks once or twice, then release.
- Drive the vehicle at 30–50 mph (50–80 km/h) for about 10 minutes to complete the relearn process.
- Check the warning light; if it remains lit, repeat the procedure or consult a tire shop or dealer for a sensor check.
Note: Some 2006 TLs or certain trims may require a slightly different sequence or a diagnostic tool to relearn the sensors. If the light won’t reset after following these steps, seek professional assistance to inspect the TPMS sensors and wiring.
What to do if there is no dedicated TPMS button
If your model lacks a visible TPMS reset button, rely on inflating to spec and performing a driving relearn, or have a dealer or tire shop perform a TPMS relearn with a scan tool. Sensor failures, damaged valves, or battery issues can also cause the warning light to stay on.
Summary
For most 2006 Acura TL models, look for a small TPMS reset button on the lower left dash near the hood release to initiate a relearn. If the button isn’t present, then tire pressures and a driving relearn (or professional tool) are used. If issues persist, have a professional check the TPMS sensors and related equipment.
