DIY: How to RESET TPMS for Honda Accord, Honda Clarity, Honda Civic and 2018+ Honda.

This is how to reset your HONDA tire pressure monitor after rotating, changing out your tires, or fixing a flat on your late model Honda Accord, Honda Clarity, or other late model Honda with interactive control panel. The Honda TPMS system does not detect tire pressure. I recently added another 3rd party TPMS system online ( https://amzn.to/2ncBVf6 ) for about $30 , so i can see the actual tire pressure from each tire. I have the install video here: https://youtu.be/gIT708-QUU8 .

I recently got my tire repaired after getting a flat tire. I had to use my spare tire for my DIY Honda Clarity ( https://youtu.be/incxlPXfiPo ). After the repair, my tire shop showed me how to re calibrate my TPMS system in my 2018 Honda Clarity. It also clears the TMPS light on the dash. Its a simple process so I made this video.

The Honda TPMS system does not detect tire pressure, but monitors tire rotations from the wheel sensors, if its spinning faster than other wheels its considered air leak or flat. Normally it will go away if you add air to the tires, however if you had a flat or tire rotation, you will want to do this re calibration procedure.

DIY | REVIEW: How to Install Digital TPMS Gauge and Sensors to my Honda! Accord and Clarity!

Quick DIY and Review video on installing a Digital Tire Pressure Monitoring System on my Honda Clarity and Accord. I bought one online ( https://amzn.to/2ncBVf6 ) for about $30 and it took longer to make this video than to install these Tire Pressure Monitoring System. This would be good for tow trailers or campers tires to quickly check tire pressure.

My new 2018 Honda Clarity and 2007 Honda Accord does not have a TPMS system that tells tire pressure and temperature of the tires. My 2007 Accord simply didnt have TPMS . My 2018 Honda Clarity on checks tire rotation to determine if the diameter is smaller to indicate over or under inflation of the tires. I loved my Chevy Volt which has individual meters for each tire. Individual guage allowed me to monitor status and if I had a air leak. Good for finding a tire leak before a flat tire.

The kit is solar powered with a battery and a USB input for 5 volt power. This makes it convenient to be wire free when i put it on my dash. In order to keep the unit from flying off my dash board, I added Scotch double sided tape ( https://amzn.to/2pCOvFr ) on the bottom of the TPMS unit and added anti-slip shelving mat foam ( https://amzn.to/2nULpfs ) . You could have just used a cell phone anti-slip mat ( https://amzn.to/2n7sZre ) .

I charged the kit in a USB charger for 2 hours before installing kit. The kit was already calibrated for all four tires of the car: Front Right, Front Left, Rear Right, Rear Left. You just need add the locking nut onto the tire nipple, then add the sensor to the corresponding tire location. Use the provided mini spanner / wrench to tighten the nuts against the TPMS sensor. You are able to set the high and low pressure alarm and units settings such as PSI vs BAR or F vs C. In a few minutes the main controller receives tire data from the individual tires.

I tested the tire pressure against my digital tire pressure gauge (https://amzn.to/2naQQGH ) and fount it accurate.

Honda Clarity Vlog 01: DIY Cork Center Console Mat – No more sliding cell phone!

I bought my 2018 Honda Clarity and love the car. I will start making more videos about the modifications and changes to my Honda Clarity as I take her on roadtrips, to work, and for fun!  I will post both good and bad aspects about the Honda Clarity as I grow with my new travel companion!

For this video, this is a fix for the center console. One of the dislikes was the center console bin. It was missing a mat.  They sell an official Honda rubber mat for about $20-$30 ( https://amzn.to/2DVlKs0 ).

Having a mat solves some issues with the center console:
1. Keeps my cell phone from sliding around.
2.  Eliminate the cheap plastic hollow sound.
3.  Cork is natural and gives it a good contrast.
4. Add visibility  so I don’t forget my cell phone when I leave the car.

However, prefer to DIY it and got craft cork board sheet from a local craft shop All you need is a 8.5 x 11 inch sheet. You can get cork sheets online ( https://amzn.to/2GbQQ16 ) and have enough for other projects.  I got cork board without adhesive.  I used a  8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper to make a trace.

After making the trace, I placed the paper on the cork sheet and made the cut out.  I added transparent Plastic Dip spray ( https://amzn.to/2MNGjJI ) to seal and rubberize the cork. You can also use hair spray or art fixative.  Otherwise the cork will will be brittle and break apart.  After spraying Plastic Dip, I let it air out for a few days to remove odor.

This is how i do it for entertainment, do so at your own risk or bring it to  repair or professional. Thanks for watching.
