tire pressure symbol in gauge cluster - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm cont. having my tire pressure symbol, indication of low pressure, displayed in the instrument gauge. All of my tires are properly filled. Is there anything I can do to reset it?

look in your glovebox, on the left side and you will see a button to reset the TPMS light....after properly inflating all the tires, turn the ignition to the "ON" position, and hold in the TPMS button...you will see the dash indicator start to flash 3 times, and it will turn off it the tires are properly inflated.
if it stays on, take it to your dealer as you may have a malfunctioning moniter

Yeah, have the dealer check out the sensors.

I just had the warning light come on as well. I picked up a screw in one of my new tires.

What's properly filled?

They may be over inflated. I'm only asking because a friend of mine filled his tires at a gas station without a gauge to 42-51psi (varied between tires, inconsistent). I smacked the back of his head. His reply was "I just did it until they didn't look flat anymore, I don't know". lol

Whatever you want to run (ride comfort vs. max fuel economy).....up to the max pressure on the sidewall.

The Toyota Recommendations are listed on your door pillar or in your Owners Manual.

I wasn't literally asking lol. I was asking what he filled his tired to. Properly filled was his choice of words. I was gonna do an edit to put "properly filled" in quotation marks and italicize it but you quoted me before I got back home.

It's probably your spare tire pressure. There is a sensor on it also.

What are you trying to say because it makes no sense.

You are the BS since you don't know exactly what he have.

1) Check all tire pressure to make sure if it's around 32 or 33psi. If not, pump it up to 32.
2) If indicator is still there than reset it by follow the instructions given in your owner manual or follow what CorCamrySE said. (They are both pretty much the same instructions)
3) If indicator is still on after the reset than you either:
a) do the reset wrong or
b) something is wrong, go to dealer.
4) If indicator go off, wait till morning see if:
a) indicator still off, than everything is good... or your battery is completely dead and nothing light up.

b) indicator come on, one of your tire is losing pressure or whatever go to dealer

The space saver spare tires (the little donut) do not have a tire pressure monitor in them. I think all Camrys sold in the US now have the space saver spare. In the back of my mind I remember reading that Camrys sold in Canada still have a full size spare, but I'm not certain of that. Can any member from Canada confirm that?
