Memorizing the Tire Pressure Sensor ID

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

All four tire pressure sensor IDs must be memorized to the TPMS control unit whenever you do any of these actions:

Replace the TPMS control unit.
Replace the tire pressure sensor.
Substitute a known-good wheel with tire pressure sensor.

NOTE:

Make sure the TPMS tool has the latest software. Check the official Honda service information about the TPMS tool.
The TPMS tool (ATEQ VT55) is required to do this procedure.
To ensure the control unit memorizes the correct ID, the vehicle with the new sensor must be at least 10 ft (3 m) away from other vehicles that have tire pressure sensors.
When doing a tire rotation, memorizing the sensors in not needed.
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 ).
Select Sensor ID Learning from the mode menu on the HDS.
Follow HDS screen prompts to turn on the TPMS tool.
Hold the TPMS tool near the valve stem of one wheel, memorize the pressure sensor ID by following the screen prompts on the HDS.
NOTE:
- If you turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) before memorizing all four sensor IDs, the memorizing ID is canceled.
- 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 within 10 ft (3 m).
- See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions.

Repeat step 6 for each wheel until all four sensor IDs are memorized. When all four IDs are memorized, the low tire pressure indicator blinks.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (4E> km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.
Make sure the low tire pressure indicator does not blink.
Make sure the tires are inflated to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb label.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
