How to reset dashboard lights without infotainment screen?

My car is a Honda Civic 2018 without infotainment screen. The screen is only for audio.
I replaced rear brakes and one of the rear calipers, after I made some mistakes (see my previous post if curious). I used a bi-directional scanner all the way while I was making progress. The scanner was giving a few error codes on the brakes, as expected.
When I finished the job, I ran the scanner again and it didn't show any error code. All was good from its perspective.
I can apply and release the parking brake fine. I drove the car, tested it with the new brakes, all looks great.
My problem is that I now have several dashboard lights on and I need help figuring out how to reset them (see photos below) . I tried to disconnect the positive cable from the battery and press the break pedal before reconnecting it, without success.
As I said, my car's screen is not the infotainment one that allows you to reset the dashboard lights.
Notice that one of the lights is flat tire. All tires are fine and when I push the button to reset that light, it doesn't go away.
Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks.

Drive around for a bit. They should clear on their own

That was my hope. I drove the car extensively and the lights are still there.

I ran the scanner again and it’s now showing errors U3000-49 and C0051-62.

I disconnected the cables powering the EPB while I was changing brakes, then reconnected them at the end. As I said, EPB and brakes work well but I now have all those dashboard lights on.

Re: How to reset dashboard lights without infotainment screen?

while doing the brakes, did you knock some sensors out of place?

Re: How to reset dashboard lights without infotainment screen?

I only disconnected and reconnected the EPB cables to the calipers. Is there a possibility that I might have touched sensors during the process?

Try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a bit (a minute or so?), then hooking it back up (make sure both neg and pos are snug), then drive around some more. I got a christmas tree light display when I disconnected my MAF before. Also got the christmas tree when I installed an HID relay harness

I tried and didn't work. I also ran the scanner again and found the 2 errors. The scanner was able to erase them, then scanned again and there were no errors. Dashboard lights were still on, I drove the car, ran the scanner and errors came back. There has to be a way to reset dashboard lights without infotainment screen.

Reset and came back?
  • you actually have problems.
    • low electrical power causes issues with multiple codes popping up - is your battery depleted?
    • EPS is usually connected to the low electrical power
    • TPMS - not sure if Honda uses the sensor in the wheel or the calculated version from rev/distance...
      • if sensor, there is a sender in the wheel and a receiver somewhere in the car and they are not communicating.
      • if calculated, just drive and it will reset (unless your tire is low pressure or one tire is different size from the others

I checked the battery with a multimeter and it's charged and healthy. I also tried to disconnect both cables from the battery, dashboard lights are still on, including after driving the car.
