lOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR QUESTION

[Hialeah Florida]

Our 07 Camry was been in and out of the shop since we got it last May because we can't get the tire pressure sensor light out. Spent the better part of yesterday at the dealer trying to get it fixed. They have changed the sensor several times and rebooted it several time to no avail.The dealer got it to go out but came back on within a hour after leaving the dealer. Gee what a surprise. Tire pressure is perfect.

Is there a TSB about this. I have other things to do beside spend endless hours at Toyota over this. Are these people at Toyota just incompetent or what? We now wish we just kept are Grand Marquis at this point.
Thanks.

Should be a pretty simple solution if your mechanics can read and follow a diagnostics diagram!!!!!! but a lot of people can't apparently!!!!


PG004-06 DIRECT-TYPE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
11/28/2006 - 2004 – 2007 model year 4Runner vehicles. 2005 – 2006 model year Tundra vehicles. 2005 – 2007 model year Sequoia vehicles. 2006 – 2007 model year Land Cruiser, Prius, RAV4, and Tacoma vehicles. 2007 model year Avalon, Camry, Solara, and Scion tC vehicles.

The Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS) monitors the difference in tire pressure in all four or five tires (if the vehicle is equipped with a full-size spare tire) through radio wave signals from a tire pressure valve/sensor mounted in each wheel.

This bulletin provides an overview and diagnostic information for the direct-type TPWS
