Tire Pressure Sensor Location
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Special Tools Required
TPMS Trigger Tool ATEQ VT55*
*Available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program 888-424-6857
NOTE:
- This procedure locates where the tire pressure sensors 1,2,3,4 are mounted, when activated by the TPMS tool.
- Position the vehicle at least 10 ft (3 m) away from other vehicles that have tire pressure sensors.
- Let the vehicle sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the sensors to switch to sleep mode.
- With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the TPMS control unit. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
- Using the HDS, bring up the TPMS data list, scroll down to the bottom, and locate the four tire sensors ID numbers. These are the ID numbers assigned to each tire location.
- Follow the HDS screen prompts to turn on the TPMS tool.
- Activate the TPMS sensor using the ATEQ VT55 tool.NOTE:
- See the DS help menu for specific instructions.
- If a sensor does not respond to the ATEQ VT55 rotate the tire 1/4 turn and retry.
- If the sensor still does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, then check for DTC 32,34,36, and 38 with the HDS.
- If more than one sensor ID is displayed on the HDS, verify that the vehicle has not been driven for 5 minutes, and there are no other vehicles or sensors within 10 ft (3 m).
- The ATEQ VT55 will display the sensor data including the ID number.
- Locate the ID number on the TPMS data list, and match it to the tire sensor number. Note the sensor location.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
