How can I turn my Toyota Highlander’s tire pressure warning light back on?
Turn the key to the “on” position with the car off, but don’t let it run. When the Toyota tire pressure sensor blinks three times, hold down the TPMS reset button until it stops blinking. Start the car, then let it run for 20 minutes to let the sensor reset.
Where is the reset button for the Toyota tire pressure monitoring system hidden?
Hold down the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure warning light flashes three times. Release the reset button after that. Start the car, then wait for the sensor to refresh for around 20 minutes. Under the steering wheel is normally where you’ll find the reset button for the tire pressure monitor.
Why, Toyota, does my tire pressure light remain on even after filling the tires?
Try the following if your TPMS light is still on after you have inflated your tires to the recommended pressure: 10 minutes at a speed of 50 mph would be plenty. When you start the car again, the TPMS light ought to be off because this ought to reset the tire sensors.
How can I disable the tire pressure indicator?
How to Clear the Tire Pressure Indicator
- Don’t start the car; just turn the key to “on.”
- While the car is off, disconnect the positive battery cable.
- All tires, including the spare, should be 3 PSI overinflated before being entirely deflated.
- Bring your car to our service department for qualified help.
The tire pressure light comes on for what reason?
The gauge cluster on an automobile’s dashboard is normally where the tire-pressure warning lights are positioned. Warning lights typically have an exclamation point and/or the letters “TPMS” and look like a cross section of a tire in yellow or amber. One may be seen immediately to the left of the speedometer in the image above. When the tire-pressure monitoring system of the vehicle detects low air pressure in one or more tires, this little indicator glows to let you know.
The light often illuminates when one or more tires have air pressure that is outside the ideal range. Since the tires’ ideal performance and safety benefits are only seen within a certain range of air pressure, expressed in pounds per square inch (psi), the warning light may turn on even before low pressure is apparent to the naked eye by as little as 10%.
The more advanced tire-pressure monitoring systems, including some spare tire systems, can sometimes display the air pressure in each tire in real-time or alert drivers to which tire is out of range.
Don’t ignore the tire-pressure warning light if it turns on; you might be getting a flat.
A tire’s tendency to lose around a pound of air pressure each month and a pound for every 10 degrees of temperature change can cause low pressure, as can leaks. Therefore, even if your tires are adequately filled in the summer, they can be too low by the winter to trigger the tire-pressure alarm. Similar to this, if the temperature rises high enough to raise the tires’ pressure to a safe level, a tire-pressure light that illuminates on a cool morning may turn off. Another reason the TPMS warning may be on early in the morning and turn off later in the day is because as you drive, tires warm up and experience an internal pressure increase of roughly 3 psi.
It’s time to check your tires’ pressure with a tire-pressure gauge, which can be purchased for as little as $5, whenever a tire-pressure warning light illuminates. A monthly tire pressure check can help you maintain your tires’ ideal levels of inflation and will give you the opportunity to spot slow leaks earlypossibly even before the pressure goes too low and the warning light illuminates.

Do 2007 Toyota Highlanders come equipped with TPMS sensors?
All American-made automobiles must have direct or indirect TPMS systems fitted as of 2008 as a result of the TREAD Act’s 2007 mandate.
The Toyota Highlander has a direct TPMS system fitted, which means the wheel has TPMS sensors. In the event that one or more tires on a Direct TPMS vehicle show low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will communicate this information to the car’s ECU. Each tire pressure or an indicator light (low-line TPMS system) will be displayed on the dashboard.
After a sensor change or tire rotation, a TPMS relearn is advised. A TPMS relearn is necessary to transmit sensor data to the vehicle’s ECU when services, such as tire changes or TPMS sensor replacements, are carried out on one or more tires of a Toyota Highlander.
How can I check my Toyota Highlander’s tires for pressure?
Inspection and correction techniques wheel valve gauge for tire pressure Uncap the tire valve. On the tire valve, firmly squeeze the tire pressure gauge’s tip. Utilize the gauge gradations to determine the pressure. Adjust the pressure if the tire inflation is not at the appropriate amount.
My tires are in good condition, so why is my low tire pressure sign on?
Typically, a tire with an air pressure that is 10% to 15% low will turn on the warning light. The air pressure inside the tires also tends to drop in cold or icy conditions. Short trips in the car will warm up the tires and raise the pressure in them.
TPMS reset button, closed-loop
A “SET” or “TPMS RESET button can be found on some Toyota vehicles and is either under the glove box or beneath the steering wheel. The system searches for the already-stored sensor IDs when the button is pressed. The “SET button can be utilized while replacing tires, changing or altering tire pressure, changing tire size, or conducting a tire rotation with differing tire pressures in the front and back.
The ECU must be unlocked in order for the relearn method to function properly if the “SET button is pushed after new sensor IDs are introduced but before a relearn is carried out. A few sophisticated TPMS diagnostic tools can unlock the ECU. You can successfully complete the relearn procedure if your TPMS scan tool offers the “UNLOCK ECU option.”
Should the tire pressure light be reset?
The warning light for your car’s TPMS, or tire pressure monitoring system, flashes on your dashboard whenever your tires are not properly inflated.
The TPMS light can show that your tire pressure is too low or that your TPMS needs to be correctly adjusted.
Many drivers, however, complain that even after inflating their tires to the recommended tire pressure, the TPMS warning light continues to flicker.
How do you reset the Toyota’s tire pressure light?
Resetting the Tire Pressure Light on a Toyota Turn the key to the “On position when the car is off, but don’t let it run. When the tire pressure light blinks three times, release pressure on the TPMS reset button. Start the car and let it run for 20 minutes to let the sensor reset.
Where on a Toyota Highlander is the VSC button?
To switch off your TRAC, just push and hold the VSC Off button next to your gear shift. Near your speedometer, look for the TRAC OFF indication light. You will also find your VSC Off indication light here. Simply press the button once more to turn the TRAC back on.
How can the VSC light on a 2007 Toyota Highlander be reset?
Vehicle Stability Control, or VSC as it is commonly known, is the stability control system used in Toyota automobiles. By lowering or eliminating the power provided to your wheels, stability control aids in the maintenance of traction and control in your vehicle. By automatically providing brake pressure to up to three wheels, it achieves this. The system’s main objective is to keep your car traveling in the direction of its wheels. Since 2012, at least in the USA, it has become a necessary safety requirement. Naturally, VSC OFF denotes that your Toyota’s stability control is turned off.
VSC Light Easy Fix
Depending on the model year of the Toyota, a button with the same icon as the light in your gauges will be located either next to your shifter or next to your steering wheel. When you’ve found it:
- Ensure that you have come to a complete stop. If you can, put the car in park.
- For a few seconds, hold down the VSC button.
- The indicator lights for TRAC OFF and VSC OFF will turn on. Now both systems are off.
- Once more, press the VSC button. As soon as both lights go out, the systems are back in operation.
If the VSC OFF light is still on, there can be a glitch in your car’s computer or a problem with the VSC system. Bring your car to a Toyota service location near you so a qualified technician can check the codes and identify the problem. Although it is safe to drive your Toyota even with the VSC OFF light on, we advise caution, especially in bad weather.
