Where is the TPMS reset button on Acura RDX?

The Acura RDX does not use a single, dedicated TPMS reset button on most recent models. Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is done through the vehicle’s settings or via a sensor relearn process using the onboard infotainment interface, and sometimes requires professional tooling in some scenarios.


How TPMS reset works in the RDX


In modern RDX models, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is reset or relearned through the car’s controls rather than pressing a fixed button on the dash. The exact path isn’t identical across all years, but you typically access TPMS through the touchscreen or the Driver Information Interface and select a Reset or Calibrate option, followed by a drive to complete the relearn.


Where to find the reset control across generations


The route to reset differs by year. On newer RDX (roughly 2019–present), you control TPMS through the touchscreen menu; older models may use the Driver Information Interface with steering-wheel controls. Check your owner’s manual for the precise menu names for your year.


For many owners, the typical path is Settings > Vehicle Settings > TPMS > Reset or Calibrate, then follow prompts and drive to complete the relearn.



  1. Check that all tires are inflated to the recommended pressures when the tires are cold.

  2. Open the Settings menu on the infotainment system and navigate to TPMS or Tire Pressure Monitoring settings.

  3. Choose Reset, Relearn, or Calibrate, and confirm your choice.

  4. Drive at highway speeds (roughly 40–60 mph / 60–100 km/h) for 10–20 minutes or until the TPMS light stops flashing and remains steady.


After completing the relearn, the TPMS light should go off or stay solid, indicating the sensors have been recognized.


What to do if the reset doesn’t work


If the TPMS light remains on after attempting a reset, the issue may be a faulty sensor, a damaged valve, or sensors that have not properly relearned. In that case, do the following:



  • Double-check all tire pressures again, ensuring all tires are within the recommended range.

  • Inspect tires and wheels for damaged valve stems, punctures, or sensor damage; replace if necessary.

  • Visit a tire shop or Acura dealer to perform a professional TPMS relearn using specialized diagnostic equipment.


Professional relearn is often required after tire changes or sensor replacements.


Summary


There is no fixed TPMS reset button on most Acura RDX models. Resetting the system is done through the vehicle’s settings or by a professional relearn when sensors are replaced or difficult to reset. Keeping tires inflated to the recommended pressures and ensuring sensor integrity helps the system function reliably.

What is the TPMS system on the Acura RDX?


TPMS turns on every time you start the engine, then monitors the tire pressure in each of your tires while driving. Using location and pressure indicators, this system monitors tire pressure, and allows you to check tire pressure from inside the vehicle.



Why is my tire pressure light still on after filling tires on my Acura?


When you properly inflate your tires, the tire pressure light usually goes off on its own. However, if you see that the TPMS light is still on, you can try these troubleshooting tips: Take a drive on a Clovis area highway at or above 50 mph for 10 minutes to reset the sensor for your tire light.
