Tire Pressure Warning Light On, Help - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Okay, I just went to Discount Tire today and bought new tires for my 07 XLE camry. Factory size is 215/60/16 and I bumped up to a 225/60/16. I asked them if they reset the sensors and they said yes. I just ran out to pick up something and the light came on. Do I need different sensors or do they just need to program these for the different size. I just went up one size. Any ideas ? Thanks

Have you checked the pressure? Maybe they are genuinly below the spec causing a legitimate light. If not, you can reset the light yourself. The switch is in the upper left of glove box recess...pic in the manual.
Tire size shouldnt play a role. Another thing, if all else fails....maybe they damaged a sensor installing the tire?

Your tire pressure warning light will only go off if one of the tires has a 25% variance compared to the other, the tire size should not make a big difference. So the first thing I would do is see if you actually have a low tire, which might be the case. Could have had a faulty valve stem or bad bead.

You should be at 35psi.

I am thinking they just work off of pressure and not size of tires am I right? I will just go back tomarrow and have them rescan them.

They measure the pressure because you can transfer them as some people have done with their aftermarket wheels.
