My TPMS light went on and will not go off. It is not the light with the tire icon it is the one that says “TPMS”. How do I turn it off. ---

The TPMS warning light indicates that the computer has detected an error, likely that one of the tire pressure sensors is not transmitting a signal because of a dead battery inside the sensor. ---

Being 10 years old, you may have a sensor that’s gone bad. Take the car to a tire shop, and I suspect they can help you out. ---

The obvious cause is one or more of the tire pressure is low. Have you checked the tire pressure? Do that first. ---

> [@MikeInNH](#): > > The obvious cause is one or more of the tire pressure is low. Have you checked the tire pressure? Do that first. Actually it’s not. If the tire _pressure_ indicator were lit that would mean a low tire. This is the indicator for a malfunctioning tire pressure _sending_ unit. ---

Could be related to the spare tire. ---

If the car had a full size spare tire with a tire pressure sensor and the spare tire were missing from the vehicle that could cause a system fault however that is unlikely. I believe these cars have compact spare tires. ---

> [@davepsinbox\_157004](#): > > Does the OP’s Accord have a full size spare? No idea, but easy enough for OP to determine. Occassionally car owners will go through a lot of grief looking for tpms problems caused by the 4 road wheels when the problem is actually the spare, so since it is easy to do, good idea to get that issue out of the way first. ---

> [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > so since it is easy to do, good idea to get that issue out of the way first. How is a vehicle owner going to check the transmitter in the tire? The tire pressure sensors and receivers are not easily serviceable by the vehicle owner, this needs to be diagnosed by a repair shop. ---

OP should be able to easily determine if the spare tire has tpms capability or not. Right?
