Low tire pressure light

Stimulant · Tuesday at 5:56 PM

Hi does anyone know how to get the light off. I start the 4 runner and the light flashes and then does not flash but stays on. Does the spare tire have anything to do with this? I filled up all tires but the spare and my is a 2014 SR5.

Thanks!

I think only the 2014 Limited has a spare tire TPMS sensor, your issue is mostly likely dead batteries in one or more of the 4 sensors, the battery usually dies at around 10 years old and you're passed that, most either get all 4 sensors replaced or do a TPMS by-pass and live without the system.

Okay - Thank you for the information.

Happened to me in a 2017 Limited. I was on a long trip and it drove me crazy until I thought to fill the spare and it has not bothered me since.

It could also be that the batteries in the sensors are dying/have died. That happened in my 2013. Most say the batteries are only good for about 10 years. Of course, mine died a few days after getting new tires installed last year.

The batteries in my 2012 SR5 are certainly dead and I've been dealing with the light being on for the past three or four years. Going to see if I can figure out how to get the light to turn out if not, there's always black electrical tape, right?

Thread '5th gen TPMS disable'

Mar 23, 2018

Been searching the site and haven't found anything other than the pvc canister idea.

Anyone know if this method would work on a 5th gen?
