Thank you for your vid! A terrible system by Honda! I was able to install one on my 2012 CR-V. Great communication and fast delivery by 9thgenEE
I agree! I could deal with a light but not being able to turn off traction control is what did it for me, Also that's good to know it will work on the CR-V, I've had several people ask about them but never could verify.
I got stuck in the snow bc I couldn't turn tc off. I was ready to sell it until I saw your vid lol.
He makes them for various years for civic, crz, fit, crv, accord, ilx and crosstour
Nice that's good to know! I'm gonna pin this comment to the top because that's the #1 question I get is what other model's it works on.
This also works for a 2010 Honda CRV, however the TPMS module is in a different location. In the 2010 CRV the module is to the left of the shifter knob under the center console, to get to it, go down by the gas pedal, remove that side panel, there are 2 screws really easy, look up into the panel look toward the shifter and you will see it, it is difficult to take out, I used a super skinny screw driver the undo one of the tabs then wiggle out the card by wiggling the connector cable, be careful everything is plastic, you can totally do it, it will take you about 30 min because it's in a hard to reach place; but it totally works. No more TPMS light. Thank you so so much.
That's awesome l, I figured the module would be remain relatively the same throughout different Honda models but never could confirm. Thanks for watching!
I've been dealing with this issue for years and finally found this video. Just ordered one thanks so much for sharing
I'm glad it helped out! Not having the ability to turn off traction control can really hurt you at times.
@@AlmostAverageAutomotive I've literally had to drive around in snow and ice with traction control on its miserable
Thank you so much for making this, I've been looking for something like this for so long. I have a 13 si which I have a set of wheels specifically for track, I didn't bother buying the tpms for them as it was an extra $100, found out the hard way that I could never turn traction off.
That was the biggest factor for me, especially in the snow! Sometimes that little bit of wheel spin gets you out of a bad situation.
I lost it when he “make sure you don’t bust anything while you’re in there” 😂😂
Thank you this is just what I needed to find!
Glad I could help! 👍
Very interesting. I never knew Honda did that for their 2012 cars. Good video! 📸 🎉
I don't know why Honda designed it that way on the Subaru if the lights on all the other systems still work normally
Such good help, thank you very much!!!
i just got mines and works perfect.. 2013 civic LX
Where did you get it at ??
Thank you for this.
No worries, hope it helps!
Thank you!
THANK YOU!!!
Not all hero's wear capes...I need this for the track for sure
Absolutely, would be a great idea for the track too! Contact Joe, seems like he has quite a few made at the moment 👍 thanks for watching.
@@AlmostAverageAutomotive IM ON THE LIST! Thanks for the video
Hey how about one of these for the Air Bag system, 3 years of having that light on and I have no intention of replacing that part for 2 thousand bucks.
Buen. Trabajo. Hermano
Gracias amigo
Am i the only one who remembers a time when checking the tire pressure and the fluids was something you did on a semi-regular basis? Perhaps America needs to be more like Japan where you're tested on Automotive Theory before you can even get a permit or Scandinavian countries where proficiency in basic Automotive maintenance is required!
I agree! I regularly check fluids and tire pressures usually whenever I'm fueling up. Believe it or not, I know someone who called a tow truck because their low tire pressure light came on 🤦
The TPMS system on the 9th gen Civic represents everything thats wrong with American automotive regulations. As a 3rd generation autocrosser i competed in my first autocross at 15 and in 35 years of road driving i had never been at fault in an accident (ive been rear ended 3 times)....that was until i got caught out in light snow in my ex's 2012 civic. While trying to go up a hill (25mph zone) the combination of a bad TPMS sensor with traction control and a slushbox transmission turned the car into a semi autonomous driving turd. The car headed straight towards a ditch but luckily a sign post stopped that from happening.
I recently picked up a similar 2012 Civic EX to commute in and the first thing i did was order this module.
Just came 2 days ago
This module is a must, it's ridiculous to me that Honda would tie in so many traction control systems to the tire pressure light.
The biggest reason I installed it was because I got stuck in a half inch of snow one day on a very slight incline and the car wouldn't allow me to power through it because of the traction control.
@@AlmostAverageAutomotive I had a very similar experience,. going up a slight incline I started to drift backwards towards the car behind me.
I started doing club autocrosses with PCA in a 1970 Porsche 914 almost 30 years ago ( before I even had my driver's license). A 4 speed with proper 3 pedals and no power brakes or power steering or power windows (Only 2 wires to the engine). I was in control and the car responded to every input I gave it. I'm comfortable driving anything but the way my Honda reacted in less than an inch of snow scared the crap out of me. I have a feeling that's why Honda ditched the setup after a year
Would this be similar to a 2008 civic si? They started having tpms in 2008 lucky me lol
That I'm not sure on, I would guess they would be the same module but can't verify for sure.
How long did it take for you to get a response and receive the module?
It's relatively quick, I would say within two weeks I had a response and the module was shipped out.
Yo quiero uno tengo honda Civic si 2012 y le puse unos rines diferentes
As far as I know, you should still be able to contact Joe on FB and order one.
Curious if you just unplug the sensor would it throw a CEL and work or no?
Negative, there's really no way to just disconnect the sensor since they run off of a radio frequency. Only way would be to remove the fuse but then that throws the Christmas lights on the dash. Main reason I did this was to retain the ability to turn off traction control for winter driving, if your tpms light is on the system is permanently on. Therefore if your tires spin, traction control takes over and you have no control over the throttle input.
This applies to all hondas in 2013? Like a CRZ?
That I'm not sure of, you would have to message the maker to see. I would guess Honda probably uses the same modules but can only verify it works on the 9th generation civics.
I'm curious to know what happens if you just leave the plug disconnected ?
That’s exactly what I was just thinking
From what I understand, if it is unplugged the car acts as if it has a TPMS fault. Therefore the lights will remain on, only way to get the light off is to trick the system to think all the pressures are correct. I've seen people also do this by removing the sensors, placing them into a PVC pipe and then pressurizing the pipe to 32psi. Once your done, throw them in the trunk and it will also trick the ecm.
What's the website to order the delete device?
Links are in the description, thanks for watching 👍
Would this work for a 12’ accord?
I'm not sure, you would have to contact the manufacturer of the chip, I can only verify that it works in the 2012 Civic SI but I can't imagine Honda changed that much between the two cars TPMS system.
To get rid yo tpms is it necessary to take out motor?
Not at all, only a couple panels inside the car.
Where do you buy the module?
Links are in the description
How much is this? Where can i purchase one for 12 honda Civic ex

Will this work on 2012 Honda Civic LX?
I believe it should, I don't see the LX and the SI having different TPMS systems, that being said I would double check with the seller before you buy one.
@@AlmostAverageAutomotive I don’t have a Twitter account or Facebook
Gotcha, reading through his description it says 12-13 Civic. So I would assume it works on all civics but again the only one I can vouch for is the SI model.
Will it work for other 2012 honda civic models other that the SI?
It does, you would have to check the site for all the models but I believe it's Accord, CRV, fit and others
Sorry I misread that comment, yes it works for all model civics.
🥰😘😘
I would like to give your guys whoever has the issue with TPMS Honda Civic 2013. So many instructions showing by using traction control to reset but it will never work at all .Especially, Civic 2013 does not have Tire Calibration pressure function on HDMI dashboard, Do this it will save you lot of money because I just did reset Civic 2013 for my daughter with TPMS faulty. There is the reason caused by flat tire or lack of Pressure on of the tire. As you follow this instruction it would take aways TPMS on your cars.
1- Check your tires pressures in all four wheels to make it 35 PSI
2- Rotate your tires Left to Right (Purpose of this step is cheating on CPU ) if the Front didn't help then do it on the REAR.
3- Hit the Information button on steering wheel then hit Menu.
4- Select Maintenance reset then go to Tire Rotation Reset then hit Enter.(This function will take care TPMS reset, this function is available on CIVIC 2013 or maybe 2012 and other models, use this function to reset TPMS instead Tire Calibration on 2014 and further..
5- Drive the car for 1/4 miles, it will automatic reset the TPMS light.
6- Don't spend anything before you do it. Good luck.
I did reset it and it worked, but nevertheless I cant turn the traction control off
Where is the link ?
In the description, there is a link for the Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Where can I buying?

The guy doesn't seem to sell these anymore. No comment on his Facebook since 2022. Probably got a letter from Honda because we should be buying new cars every year to keep the fat cats rich.
I believe he still is selling them, I just checked Facebook and the last post was mid February of 2024.

Looks like he does it based on a Google doc now
@@AlmostAverageAutomotive This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Well what could I do for my 2015 si
From what I understand, tpms can be disabled on the imid screen for 2013+ civics. Can't guarantee though I've never tried it personally.
@@AlmostAverageAutomotive thanks man I went into the menu and initialized the tpms solved my problem easy enough
@@jewberg7729 awesome that's great
