TPMS on all 5th gen models?

[wfo9]

I tried to search, but nothing addressed this particular question.

Do all 5th gen models have TPM sensors?

I have an SR5 and I'm about to swap wheels and need to know if I need sensors.

I've never had a vehicle with a TPMS system that does not not include a screen to display individual pressures.

If it is just a single light, what is the trigger pressure? (I bet I could find that with search)

Yes, the SR5 has TPM sensors. I just had mine swapped into my new wheels and tires.

 

[MikeDUBS]

As far as I know, all models have the sensors. I have a 2012 SR5 and it has sensors.

It is just a single light, but I'm not sure exactly what the trigger point is.

Also, there is no TPMS in the spare.

EDIT ^^^ [MENTION=102186]Wssboard18[/MENTION] beat me to it.

The triggers are approximately 2 bar for low and 4 bar for high.

The triggers are approximately 2 bar for low and 4 bar for high.

So Bars converted to PSI would be approximately 29 psi to 58 psi range.


I would be afraid to ask what the PSI rating would need to be to blow the tire off the rim. I mean the idea of driving my 4Runner with 58 psi in the tires when max air pressure is indicated on the side at 40 PSI sounds crazy to me.

Wouldn't a tire start to fail quickly with our vehicle weight at speed at 58 PSI?

Sorry. 2-5 bar range or about 72 psi. You would be surprised.

I am very surprised 1E!

On a side note some what related to this topic, I recently dropped my tire air pressure from 36 down to 27/28 psi while on the beaches this weekend in the Outer Banks. My TPMS did not trigger at 27/28 psi. I figure 20 psi would trip them for sure. Still contemplating on-board air for my 4Runner since I will have a need to fill up if an air station is not close by and beach conditions dictate lower PSI ratings on the tires.

If the low limit is 29 and you were at 27/28, I wouldnt be surprised if your guage was off some and you were actually 29+. I have seen a lot of inaccurate tire pressure guages. Not sure how much you benefit by dropping to 27. I usually go to about 15 on the beach. Your truck will thank you for it.

[MENTION=77504]mace.[/MENTION] - I agree the lower the better on the beaches. I normally try not to go below 20 psi for fear of pulling the tire off the rim in a deep rut. I witnessed one guy stuck in powdery sand on the beach with a tire off the rim from what I think was going to low with the tire air pressure.

I run 12psi rock crawling, and lower than that in snow, fwiw

You won't unseat the bead @ 15psi on the sand. Maybe making a tight turn on pavement but a wide turn on sand you will be fine. Plus I'd much rather take the chance of a flat tire that put the added strain on the transmission from running to high pressure

Tpms

Mine triggers at 25, I found out when I had a slow leak due to a loose valve stem which was probably caused by my Trailhead deflators.

I run 15 psi on soft sand and avoid fast, sharp turns, no problem so far.

Hey giys. I remember the day I picked up my brand new 2014 and the rocket scientist at the dealership filled up my tires to the max inflation for the Dunlops of 51psi and the light came on.

I've been looking all over, but I can't seem to find an answer... I'm looking to get a pair of C load KO2s and was wondering if setting them between 40-44psi would set the light off. I drive about 90-100 miles a day and it would annoy the living crap out of me. Thanks.

No: I run my KO2s at 42psi- no light

Thanks dude!
