1. Inflate Tires Correctly: Ensure all your tires are inflated to the proper pressure as indicated on the sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb or in your owner's manual. This is the *most* crucial step.
2. Drive the Vehicle: Drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 20 mph (32 km/h) for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the sensors to register the new pressure and transmit it to the system.
3. Check the Warning Light: After driving, check the instrument panel. The TPMS warning light should turn off if the tire pressures are correct. If it remains on, there might be a problem with one or more sensors, a faulty sensor, or a persistent low tire pressure.
If the light remains on after following these steps:
* Check Tire Pressure Again: Double-check the tire pressure with a reliable gauge. Even a small discrepancy can trigger the light.
* Check for Damaged Sensors: Examine your tires for any signs of damage to the tire pressure monitoring sensors (these are usually located inside the valve stem).
* Consult a Mechanic: If the problem persists, it's best to take your Honda Pilot to a qualified mechanic or tire shop. They have the equipment to diagnose and repair TPMS issues, such as a faulty sensor. They may also need to use a TPMS scanner to check each sensor individually.
Important Note: There is no manual reset procedure for the 2005 Honda Pilot's TPMS. The system is designed to automatically relearn the tire pressures after driving with correctly inflated tires.
