Honda Element. Manual - part 774

7. Repeat step 6 for each wheel until all four sensor IDs are memorized. When all four IDs are memorized, 

the low tire pressure indicator blinks.  

8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.  

10. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.  

11. Make sure the low tire pressure indicator does not blink.  

12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

13. Reduce the pressure in one tire until it is less than the appropriate specification.  

14. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

15. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.  

16. Make sure the low tire pressure indicator turns on, then inflate the tire (see WHEEL ALIGNMENT ).  

17. Repeat step 12 to 16 for all the other tires.  

18. Clear any DTCs with the HDS.  

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LOCATION 

Special Tools Required  

TPMS sensor initializer tool AKS0620006 

Available through the American Honda Tool and Equipment Program; call 888-424-6857 

NOTE:



If you turn the ignition switch OFF before memorize all four sensor 
IDs, the memorizing ID is canceled.  



See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions.

NOTE:

This procedure locates where the tire pressure sensors number 1, 2, 3, 4 are 
mounted when activated by the TPMS sensor initializer tool.

Memorizing tire pressure sensor IDs (including replacing the TPMS control unit, or the tire pressure 
sensors).  



Wheel rotation.  

1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the 

driver's side of the dashboard.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the TPMS control unit. If it doesn't, troubleshoot 

the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).  

4. Select Function Test from the mode menu, then select Sensor Position Check on the HDS.  

5. Turn on the TPMS sensor initializer tool.  

6. Follow the prompts on the HDS to active the tire pressure sensors using the TPMS sensor initializer tool. 

Start with the left-front (LF) wheel. 

NOTE:



See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions.  



Initialize the wheel in the sequence shown.

7. Check the HDS screen, and note the active sensor reception order of the tire pressure sensor 1,2,3, 4. 

8. Note the sensor location for reference.  

9. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

NOTE:

If the sensor does not respond to TPMS initializer, rotate the tire 1/4 turn 
and retry. If the sensor still does not respond after one full rotation of the 
tire, swap the tire to a known-good location and retry. If the sensor still 
does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, replace the tire 
pressure sensor.
