- TPMS
- Posted by Stumpy
I just noticed the yellow warning light for tire pressure on my 2007 Taco.
The owner's manual says to contact the dealer if it flashed for 1 minute, I
don't think it did. There is no info on settings in the manual. Pressure
in the front is 32psi, back 30psi, and the spare feels solid.
I'll inflate all 5 later today, but I actually like the ride with these
settings.
So, I have a few questions:
Where can I look up the specs for the sensors?
Can I over inflate the tires and then have a kid watch the instrument panel
as I release air to find the actual setting? Is there a time delay?
Are there any computers watching this signal in the truck, or is it just a
dashboard light that I can ignore.

Tried the reset button on lower dashboard - light went off, then flashed ~ 5
times, now back on.
Looked for a description of the system from Toyota.

This was kind of fun, but I don't think I've got ABS.
Looks like a trip to the dealer. ~3 hours waste.

I don't know the sensitivity of the TPMS but 32 psi is about 3psi higher
than recommended on my 2007 Tacoma Access Cab.
My light came on this morning and when I checked all the tires some of them
were about 2 to 3 psi low. Brought all five to 29 psi and started the
engine. Light was still on but it went out after a couple of minutes (just
like the manual says).
I tried the SET button on the bottom dash but didn't see any result.

If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble.

Never mind.
It spontaneously reset while driving.
I'm really disappointed that I haven't found a satisfactory description in
the Toyota propaganda that came with the manual. It may be coincidence, but
the overnight freezing temperatures ended at the same time.
My corners were too sloppy at 29 psi. No way that the RFIDs sense
overpressure too.

Check the spare also.
And whilst y`all are at it, Tighten the stem nuts because Toyota does not
tighten them correctly. They loose air.
