Frequently asked questions
2016 Honda CR-Z Ex L Wnavigation shown

On the Honda CR-Z, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault.

Drivers in Frisco, TX, can turn to David McDavid Honda of Frisco for tire pressure light diagnosis on the Honda CR-Z across all model years. The service distinguishes between a tire that needs air or inspection and a sensor that needs attention. A steady horseshoe-shaped symbol with an exclamation point calls for tire pressure to be set at the next stop, while a light that flashes at startup and then remains illuminated points to a monitoring-system issue that should be checked.

What the tire pressure light means on a Honda CR-Z

The warning appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily lit, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the tires look fully inflated but the light remains on, the vehicle still needs a pressure and sensor check. If the light flashes for about a minute after startup and then stays lit, the monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at David McDavid Honda of Frisco

The diagnosis begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor is then scanned for its signal and battery status. This process helps separate a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing.

The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring function can recognize the serviced components. Drivers can schedule service at David McDavid Honda of Frisco for a complete tire pressure light diagnosis.
