Solution

1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor (if necessary), and the vehicle's user manual.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Remove valve caps from each tire.
Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure of each tire.
Inflate or deflate each tire to match the recommended pressure (typically 32 PSI for most Honda Civics).
Replace valve caps securely after adjustments.

3. Reset the TPMS

Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
Press the TPMS reset button, located beneath the steering column or in the glove compartment (refer to the owner’s manual for exact location).
Hold the button until the TPMS indicator light blinks twice, then release it.
Start the vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes; the warning light should turn off.

4. Verify

After the reset procedure, check the tire pressure warning light again after a short drive.
Monitor the tire pressures periodically to ensure they remain at the correct levels.
