Can you reset the low tire pressure light without special tool?

Not a TPMS light just the low pressure light.

I cannot find it in the manual.

Have you checked that all the tire pressures are correct according to the door sticker?
If so and these tires have the correct sensors then you have an issue in the TPMS system itself, either a bad sensor, or a sensor(s) that isn't in the correct location. If that is the case you can use a TPMS tool to reset them.

Yes I checked the tire pressure and three tires were 20 psi and one was 32. So I adjusted all the pressures to 32 psi.
There is no way I can find, to reset the light. Some have suggested I go to custom settings in the menu, go to TPMS and initialize the TPMS, but the TPMS does not appear in the menu and I do not have a TPMS error.
I have not driven the car sine I corrected the pressure, others have suggested if I drive the car the "low pressure" light will go out.
I just got this car yesterday and am new to Honda's.
Will it reset itself or do I have to go to the dealer? Thanks for the answer.

If you set all the tires to the correct pressure on the door tag (whatever it is, the sensors and programming are fussy) Then start it and drive the sensors will report the pressures and the light should go out. TPMS sensors only turn on when they move a bit. Setting still they do not transmit.
