What does this light indicate? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Here is the picture of it from my owners manual. I cannot seem to find the cause for this light to stay on. It just reads that if it stays lit to bring it to a dealer. Does anyone know what the usual cause is for this light to stay lit?

Thank you!

TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

Yep... looks like you don't have rims, so just check your tire pressures

Haha wow, lets not take my car to the dealer for that. Thanks guys! Appreciate it.

^ it surprise me too that Njerald actually give an answer instead of his usual remarks.

Just pump in a little more air and u should be good. I think the TMPS is set around 35psi (whatever it's written on the side door). Don't reset the TPMS, just do the air pump.

well i think its either because he is in a good mood or because the manuals were written by someone with a small brain.

I had the same issue with my Camry in the third month. Really surprises me that the tire pressure dropped, being a brand new car and all... I just pumped more air and problem solved. No light for more than a year.

I don't even have the TPMS sensors and my light doesn't go on. The only time it does come on it's on long trips.

You must have your stock rims in your garage then.

Redline_Me · 09-03-2009, 02:06 PM

nope, at home. And i drive 20 miles to school and the light doesn't come on.

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 09-03-2009, 02:20 PM

yeah. Your TPMS goes off and resets when its close to your rims. I just ended up taking out my TMPS light in the dash haha

Pawel062 · 09-03-2009, 03:06 PM

lol. i had my sensors transfered. i seen the sensors come on so many times in our camrys. i think they are a bit on the sensitive side though theres good in that too.
