double check the recirculate switch, the feature should shut off automatically when defrost is selected.

You might try resetting the TPMS system for the current pressures and see if you get another warning, It may be that the system was set when the spare was at a higher level and it eventually bled down to the trigger level. For a while I was experimenting with different tires and pressures so I...

A quick look online will show those wheels new for around $600, the Yoko G96's well over $300 mounted and balanced. Throw in TPMS and hub caps and you're up over a grand each and you have 5 of them. I have no idea what you could hope to sell them for or what a dealer would allow in trade. It's a...

I noticed the OP is in Austin so this might not matter unless they travel to snow country but others might care. My '22 Sport came with 20" Yoko G96's and they are among the worst OEM tires I have driven in winter. Almost as bad as the Yoko G 56's I had on a Crosstrek. I guess tire manufacturers...

Sticky? I'm wondering if this thread should be a sticky. There certainly is a lot of useful information here but there also seems to be some confusion, at least on my part. Had I known there was a way to make Denso sensors work then I wouldn't have spent the money on genuine Toyota parts. I'm...

clarification I paid around $65 each for those sensors. I had another dealer nearby who wanted closer to $100 each for them so I thought I did all right. Maybe not.

When looking for wheels and snow tires I found a dealer down state (Nashua NH) advertising good prices online, when I called about the wheels they gave me a fair price for a set of sensors, I think they were around $65 which I thought fair for genuine Toyota parts. Everything went together and...

I don't think there are any syncro's in there so things will always be a little crunchy. I'm also pretty certain you won't hurt anything unless you are really being abusive. I'm fortunate that the local dirt road I use for monthly 4 lo is a slight incline and sometimes it helps things mesh when...

I'm betting on clearance problems with most anything on the front. I recently installed studded snows. Nokian, something I can't pronounce, 10 SUV tyre. 265/70/17 and when I turn the wheel full lock right the studs just kiss the front inner fender. Most noticeable when in reverse. The first time...

The OEM blades seem to have held up well. I usually change blades in early spring after the sand and salt have washed off the roads. Everyone will be different depending on variables such as garaged or parked in the sun, how many miles per year, and what part of the country you live in. I do...

22 TRD Sport I just completed this mod and I'm happy with the way it works in my 22 Sport. I got an 82191-30020 online for $62.50 including shipping from th-motors-jp. It took 5 days to get to me. The one thing I did that varied from the instructions was that I clipped the ears off the sensor...

spare I'm not clear why Toyota does some of the things they do. My '22 TRD Sport came with 20" alloy wheels and the spare is identical so it has a sensor and the display shows the pressure in the spare. Oddly, the owners manual states that 4R's so equipped should rotate all five tires. That was...

Tpms For my '22 Sport I got a set of OEM 17" wheels with sensors so I could mount studded snow tires. On my 4R setting up the new sensors can be done from the driver seat. The procedure is in the manual. I don't know what year Toyota implemented this feature.

Mouse? i wonder if a mouse got into the harness someplace. That can lead to all kinds of strange symptoms. I had a pickup where one got into the under-hood fuse box harness and it was a nightmare to locate, worse to repair.

Zerk correction I crawled under my '22 sport and sure enough there are fittings on the u-joints. Of course they look untouched. So the guy with the dealer comment was right and the service writer was blowing hot air. The thing is new trucks come with 2 years free maintenance, guess you get what...
