After putting your car in park, you locate the information button on the steering wheel of your car. It is a small button with an “i” icon written on it. It is also called the “Windows Button.”

Why is the Tire Pressure Light Showing on my Honda Civic 2021?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your Honda Civic 2021 was installed into the car to help spot whenever there is a flat tire or tires, or whenever the air in your tires are not up to the required amount to guarantee a safe journey, which could be as a result of a tiny nail puncture on your tire that is causing continual air leakage, reducing the air pressure in your tires.
This system will alert you whenever low tire pressure is detected, using a green light on your dashboard, and it is your responsibility to stop the car as soon as you can to inspect which tire has the issue.
If after inspecting, you notice that none of your tires have deflated, and it was a false alarm, or you have just pumped your tires, but the tire pressure light is still showing on your dashboard, then you should reset the TPMS using the steps explained previously.
