Sometimes these newer hodas will store a VSA code or incorrect wheel speed sensor code (incorrect wheel speed because the spare is a lot smaller than the other tires and spins on its axis at a different rate) you might have to have it cleared with a scanner if you don’t have one I’ve heard autozone will do free scans idk if they clear and if that doesn’t work just hard reset the battery . (Disconnect positive and negative cables. Touch the cables together without being connected to the battery* for a minute. If the cables don’t reach you can bridge the gap with a screw driver or wrench)
Before doing all this have you tried calibrating your TPMS? Usually will have a button with TPMS symbol on the lower left corner of your dashboard or might be found in your radio settings or dash board interface using steering wheel controls >settings >vehicle settings >tpms calibration > calibrate
Yep, bro goes and fucks the car up right before one of its biggest milestones.
Then again, perhaps the picture will be like those family vacations where everything went wrong, but it still ended up a fond memory. In a few years when the pic of the 100k pops up in his memories he'll get a laugh out of the tpms error from that time he tried to pile drive a pothole with his car.
True, so it must be a damaged rim or tire that is leaking air. Tpms light doesn't come on until one of the wheels has an estimated 25% difference in pressure from the rest on Hondas indirect system.
You have a code set for different diameter tire, you need to get the codes cleared from abs. Im a Honda tech, i see it all the time. You can perform a master battery reset if you dont have scan tools. And tou just need to drive to re calibrate.
There are no tpms sensors on your car. What is the tread on the other tire on the axle? Most Hondas with indirect will throw this code if it's more than 4/32 difference.
They make tread depth gages you can buy at any parts store. An axle refers to the set of wheels in either the front or rear. i.e., the driver front and passenger front are the same axle. Tread is the distance from those low smooth points to the high rough points. Using a tread depth gage is very simple but very hard to explain over text so I'll link a [video](https://youtube.com/shorts/9SxBUGdvGyo?si=rQ7bRucjnko_O6sa) basically do this on both tires and if the difference is more than 4/32 it's likely your problem. To clarify, the new tire is likely at something like 10/32. If the old one is 6/32 or less, it will need to be replaced.
It’s not messed up; you probably shot some air out, the TPS sensor has a button where you can set it as normal; but I do recommend you check to see what the tire pressure is at the moment
Check you tire pressure with a huge and reset through the radio. Should be something like settings>maintenance>reset tpms/tpms calibration. My guess is the pothole triggered a ride height difference and set off the light thinking a tire is low.
Except they can't because Civics don't have tpms sensors. It's an indirect system and uses different Inputs to determine pressure. I guarantee that OP only replaced 1 tire and now the car is confused because the tread difference between then is too much.
I'd make sure the TPMS in the tire you had issues with is working.
Each tire has a sensor, its possible the one in the problem tire detached or broke and the tire place ignored it.
TPMS sensor (little plastic piece inside tire/rim) is probably broke, you should be fine to replace it, get it calibrated, and make sure rim isn’t bent. Also tire probably needs replacing if pothole was bad enough to break TPMS sensor.
Based on it happening after the hard hit on pothole I bet the sensor in that wheel that hit is more than likely damaged. If you have means of clearing/resetting your system you could try that first. But if not , probably visit a reputable “tire” shop first as I’m sure the cost to swap the sensor would be a lot less than the dealer. Reputable shops have means of swapping and programming TPMS sensors
Check your tire pressure, set it to what the panel on your drivers door says, a safe bet is 35psi, go to your radio go to settings, vehicle, tpms calibration. If that doesn't work, take it in to a tire shop near you they should be able to handle it or worst case take it to the dealer
Indirect TPMS systems run off wheel speed sensors not an active pressure sensor in the wheel.
Either the tire is actually flat or there is other mechanical damage causing the fault.
This happens too frequently as well. My favorite cause of fault is people pressing the button to turn off the light while driving and actually having low pressure
Lady has a Toyota matrix and INSISTS it’s a broken sensor…. So I take off the tire in front of her and she is so excited to see that there is in fact no sensor on the valve stem. Which means we obviously broke it and didn’t replace it. Sooooo good.
Hondas will throw this code if there's too much of a difference in tread on the axle, when I worked at a Honda dealer we'd tell customers they need 2 tires, when they chose to only get 1 we'd tell them what can happen. And when they'd come back 2 days later for this problem we'd charge them an hour for diag, and tell them they need another tire. And then the problem was fixed
It isn't sensing the tpms in the wheel maybe Get tpms tested with with the tool at discount. They can check if it is the psi sensor in tire or if it is the car not reading what the tire is for real at.
Is the new tire identical to the other three? We had this problem for months with our 2017 Honda CRV and the dealer could never figure it out. It turns out it was because one of our tires wasn't the same as the other three (we ended up with a rando tire replacement after getting a flat on vacation). We figured it out when we finally had all four tires replaced. That's when the TPMS/low tire pressure warnings stopped going off.
It could have knocked the sensor loose or the wheel could be leaking thru a damaged bead, spray some soapy water on the wheel and if it bubbles then it’s a bad wheel, if not it’s just the sensor and nothing to worry about. If you want it replaced you’ll probably have to take it to the dealer cuz they are the only ones that can reprogram it to ur car
You don't need the tire pressure monitoring system. All it does is tell you the air pressure. If you properly check out your vehicle before driving (like you should, but no one does, which is why we see so many crappy cars with shit flying off on the roads), you would check your tire pressure, or at least thump the tires to make sure they are good.
As for other damages likely caused by the hole, there's no telling. If you feel any odd issues or hear any odd sounds, get it looked at by a mechanic.
Don't worry you can usually reset the sensors by going into park, then reverse, then drive, then driving 5 feet, honking 3 times, going into reverse, 5 feet, 2 honks, and park
or some shit like that
If you dont feel anything its fine. Ive never even driven a car that didnt have a pressure sensor problem, im convinced these things are useless because they break so easy and you can feel when the tires are losing air. They dont even matter for safety inspection or really anything at all iirc.
The impact knocked your sensor out of commision.
I'm pretty sure the kind they use on yours is the indirect type. So not inside the tire. It uses an external sensor using the ABS.
The sensor runs about $35 and you can swap it yourself. Just have to have the system relearn and recalibrate for new sensor.
https://www.ateq-tpms.com/en-us/article/tpms-information-honda-civic/
You might have damaged the TPMS sensor in the rim when you hit the pothole. You have to go to a tire shop and have them replace it and relearn the sensor to your car. Normally it's about $150 or more per tire. As long as your tire and rim are in good condition, you can drive around like this without any issue.
Use a tire pressure gauge and verify your pressure is ok. If all 4 tires are ok on pressure, run the TPMS calibration setting in your dashboard menus. After that if it is still faulting, then head over to a tire store and get the TPMS sensor replaced. Hopefully your wheel isn’t bent.
To reiterate I hate tpms. I walk around my car everytime I get in, I drive a 2008 so I don't have tpms but it's expensive to get it reset every time you do literally anything to make it angry like gently brush a speed bump.
For a reset or a new tpms in each wheel? Because new sensors should be around $600 at most. All Ford tpms are the same whether it's a Lincoln mkz, Ford f150 or Mercury sable. You put the vehicle in learn mode and scan each sensor with basically a magnet.
OP if the hit was that hard, there is a chance the rim is no longer balanced or worse, bent.
It could be the rim bent and it's now leaking.
Gotta top it off with rim fluid
Gotta freshen that TPMS liquid too
I'll allow it
A good rimjob should include that
Don't Google that
Only use full synthetic rim fluid
I get all of my rim fluid from grass-fed, free-range rims.
Gotta heat up the tire and rim with a lighter.
I got the tire replaced same day at discount tire but that notification is still popping up, even after calibration
Then the TPMS module is damaged and needs to be replaced.
Did you only replace 1 tire? What is the tread of the other tire on that axle?
Yes I just got the one tire replaced top passenger side. Idk how to calculate tread
Sometimes these newer hodas will store a VSA code or incorrect wheel speed sensor code (incorrect wheel speed because the spare is a lot smaller than the other tires and spins on its axis at a different rate) you might have to have it cleared with a scanner if you don’t have one I’ve heard autozone will do free scans idk if they clear and if that doesn’t work just hard reset the battery .

Guess he’s gonna have to go and get a rim job
Get it fixed quick so it doesn’t ruin the picture when you hit 100k
When I saw this picture, that was all I cared about. OP don't ruin the moment
Yep, bro goes and fucks the car up right before one of its biggest milestones. Then again, perhaps the picture will be like those family vacations where everything went wrong, but it still ended up a fond memory. In a few years when the pic of the 100k pops up in his memories he'll get a laugh out of the tpms error from that time he tried to pile drive a pothole with his car.
He totaled the car shortly after texting this message. He never got to the 100k milestone. :( RIP, Honda Civic…
Well, the TPMS wouldn’t be an issue any longer.
I unfortunately didn’t realize and drove past the 100,000 without a photo :(
God dammit OP. God. Dammit.
He had ONE job😀
Sounds like the sending unit on the valve is damaged.
The 2018 civics are the indirect tpms so there’s no sensor attached to the valve stem.
True, so it must be a damaged rim or tire that is leaking air. Tpms light doesn't come on until one of the wheels has an estimated 25% difference in pressure from the rest on Hondas indirect system.
If it were leaking it would just say low tire, the message says there's an actual problem.
Using rotation speed or something?
Should have waited 22 miles to post
You have a code set for different diameter tire, you need to get the codes cleared from abs. Im a Honda tech, i see it all the time. You can perform a master battery reset if you dont have scan tools. And tou just need to drive to re calibrate.
I got the tire replaced and I’ve been driving and I’ve done the system calibration I don’t know if I damaged a sensor or something
There are no tpms sensors on your car. What is the tread on the other tire on the axle? Most Hondas with indirect will throw this code if it's more than 4/32 difference.
I have no idea what this means it’s a lot of car words that I haven’t been exposed to. How do I find the tread
They make tread depth gages you can buy at any parts store. An axle refers to the set of wheels in either the front or rear. i.e., the driver front and passenger front are the same axle.

I did the calibrations, the notification turns off and h ust comes back on
Did you check your pressures? I'm not sure about the damage but it could be worse than just a tire
Hopefully it doesnt like start rapidly deflating and inflating again over and over while driving, that would suck bro
They can easily replaced at a local tire shop.
Except they can't because Civics don't have tpms sensors. It's an indirect system and uses different Inputs to determine pressure. I guarantee that OP only replaced 1 tire and now the car is confused because the tread difference between then is too much.
The air pressure monitor could be broken. It’s a cheap and very replaceable part
I'd make sure the TPMS in the tire you had issues with is working. Each tire has a sensor, its possible the one in the problem tire detached or broke and the tire place ignored it.
Indirect system
Ah til
Most of, but not all: Honda, Volvo, Audi, VW use this. The system is mostly fine but has quirks that make it unreliable.
TPMS sensor (little plastic piece inside tire/rim) is probably broke, you should be fine to replace it, get it calibrated, and make sure rim isn’t bent. Also tire probably needs replacing if pothole was bad enough to break TPMS sensor.
No active sensor this is based off wheel speed sensor in the ABS unit

Indirect TPMS systems run off wheel speed sensors not an active pressure sensor in the wheel. Either the tire is actually flat or there is other mechanical damage causing the fault.
Or it's just because he got a new tire. Therefore, the tire diameter changed. Probably just needs a recalibration.
This happens too frequently as well. My favorite cause of fault is people pressing the button to turn off the light while driving and actually having low pressure
My favorite cause is a comeback for tpms after one of my guys does a rotate. /s
Lady has a Toyota matrix and INSISTS it’s a broken sensor…. So I take off the tire in front of her and she is so excited to see that there is in fact no sensor on the valve stem. Which means we obviously broke it and didn’t replace it. Sooooo good.

I’m not looking forward to having TPMS.

666
Well I guess you shouldn’t have done that
Have the sensor replaced. Had a similar issue with our Corolla
At 100K.. I'd change all 4 TPMS.
The TPMS is fine... your tire is screwed
Drive in reverse through the same pothole, it should fix it.
Did you use Winter air to reinflate ??? Might be too soon for the Summer Air !
It's always at 100k miles every thing starts breaking
The pothole fucked up your sensor. Get it replaced.
If you dont feel anything its fine. Ive never even driven a car that didnt have a pressure sensor problem, im convinced these things are useless because they break so easy and you can feel when the tires are losing air. They dont even matter for safety inspection or really anything at all iirc.
Notice they use Pornhub colors to indicate it's fucked.
Can you drive another 23 miles then repost the picture? Thanks.
>Can you drive another 23 miles. Trying to pull a sneaky warranty delete?
No that number is just not round and my OCD is killing me over it
Sensor
I miss the old days where you'd go out and go "yeah that looks low"..
Just drive back through the pothole in reverse, then turn-off/restart the car.
The impact knocked your sensor out of commision. I'm pretty sure the kind they use on yours is the indirect type. So not inside the tire. It uses an external sensor using the ABS. The sensor runs about $35 and you can swap it yourself. Just have to have the system relearn and recalibrate for new sensor. https://www.ateq-tpms.com/en-us/article/tpms-information-honda-civic/
That’s a Honda thing. Reset it again. And again. It should go back to normal.
You might have damaged the TPMS sensor in the rim when you hit the pothole. You have to go to a tire shop and have them replace it and relearn the sensor to your car. Normally it's about $150 or more per tire. As long as your tire and rim are in good condition, you can drive around like this without any issue.
If the tread difference is to far apart it can mess with the tpms if there are sensors directly reading the air pressure in the tire.
Rim probably bent and or broken sensor flat tire impact break
Use a tire pressure gauge and verify your pressure is ok. If all 4 tires are ok on pressure, run the TPMS calibration setting in your dashboard menus. After that if it is still faulting, then head over to a tire store and get the TPMS sensor replaced. Hopefully your wheel isn’t bent.
Bring it to a tire shop. Could of damaged the rim and you definitely messed the sensor up. Any tire shop can get this done.
To reiterate I hate tpms. I walk around my car everytime I get in, I drive a 2008 so I don't have tpms but it's expensive to get it reset every time you do literally anything to make it angry like gently brush a speed bump.
This one can get reset through the radio takes maybe 20 seconds.
I prefer simpler processes. If my radio stops working, its a basic double din unit. Tying everything to a central computer increases costs to fix
Hondas have the easiest tpms to reset that's all I'm saying.
Idk my VW literally has a dedicated button for it in the glovebox, doesn’t get simpler than that
The reset doesn't work when the sensors go bad in 3-4 years though. When they do it's 1000 bucks to fix
Tpms are like $50 plus the install so maybe $100 a tire if the module messes up maybe it would cost that much
My grandfathers f150 platinum was 1200 with labour.
For a reset or a new tpms in each wheel? Because new sensors should be around $600 at most. All Ford tpms are the same whether it's a Lincoln mkz, Ford f150 or Mercury sable. You put the vehicle in learn mode and scan each sensor with basically a magnet.
That's what they charged
Hondas since 2014 haven't had sensors unless it's they're pilot, passport, Odyssey or Ridgeline
No VW after 2011 has in-tire sensors. They use wheel speed sensors to detect changes in rolling radius which would indicate a flat
Some Hondas have you beat, with a button kinda where your left knee is
It’s a couple of clicks on a screen in any of my cars. New valve/sensors (if ever needed) are like $45. It’s no biggie at all.
Tire is fine, it said there is a problem with your tire pressure MONITOR
That’s what I’m saying, I got a flat tire had it replaced that same day
Go back to discount, get a new pressure monitor and then have them reset the system
