Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - Stubborn TPMS Sensor After Loads


Jul 25, 2015

My 2007 Prius has a stubborn TPMS light. This started about a week and a half ago after I made a few trips from my house which sold to my new apartment. I had the car loaded up with stuff in each of the four trips and maybe had a lot of weight.

I checked the tire pressure after the 3rd trip and it looked fine on all of them. I set them to 35 psi and made one more trip with heavy-ish stuff. I did not check the tire pressure after that last trip but I tried resetting the TPMS light.

I press my foot on the brake pedal and hit the power button twice and then I held the Set button until I saw the TPMS pattern change to three blinks and then it stops. It then continues blinking for the 1 minute duration and stays solid. I tried this a couple of times and waited 3 minutes or so after doing it to see if it made any difference.

Am I likely not trying to reset correctly? I also have techstream on a cd and the tool and a laptop but am not sure if I should set that up and then try to debug using that tool?

Camry :: 2007 - TPMS Sensor Won't Reset

My friend bought two new tires for her car, and had all the wheels rotated. When she went to the toyota, they said they need $100 bucks, just to reset my TPMS sensor.. which is something so simple. There are few videos on YouTube that details how to reset the TPMS sensor...

So I followed all the steps. I bought a tire pressure sensor (*a nice digital one), I put air in the tires (30 on all 4), i put the car ignition on ON, put the parking brakes on, and pressed the TPMS switch, saw the three blinks,.. and I thought it would stop coming after that... But Nope. It started right back on and started blinking.

Now I am not sure what to do? Car is a 2007 Camry.

Prius (2004-09) :: Struts And Heavy Loads

i am the original owner of a 2004 Prius with about 120k miles. I am considering replacing the struts even though they aren't horrible. I figure I won't have the car more than 240k miles so might as well get the struts on earlier rather than later so I enjoy them as long as possible.

Phaeton :: 2004 - TPMS Sensor With No Label?

I have a problem with the TPMS of my '04 Phaeton.

Sensors have already been exchanged, still the car seems to have a problem with the tires of one axis. It displays a number in the middle reflecting the tire's pressure, but there is no "OK" or caution label in the boxes right and left to the car symbol.

This problem can also not be solved by (proper) calibration.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 Passenger Airbag Sensor Does Not Respond

My 2007 airbag sensor does not respond to a weight of 20 pounds or more, it continues to read "off". The dealer said the problem is in the female end of the seat belt; however, the seat belt sensor works perfectly. It sounds like the wrong diagnosis to me.

Prius (2004-09) :: TPMS Light Was On

My TPMS light was on, so I went to my friendly mechanic and had him replace a bad TPMS in one of my tires. This is what he found in the tire.

The sensor case was smooth like it had tumbled around in there a while.

Prius (2004-09) :: No TPMS Light Came On

Because the snow and ice performance is so poor and I was going to need tires anyway, I put winter tires on it this year.

They do not have TPMS sensors in them, I was going to live with the warning light for 3 months rather than paying for the sensors. Besides, they were already mounted and balanced.

So, I put them on the car last night and drove the car for 5-10 miles to trigger the light so I knew what my wife should expect. No TPMS light came on. My wife drove it to work this morning (21 miles). Still no TPMS light.

Prius (2004-09) :: TPMS Light Comes On - Reset?

TPMS light comes on. Properly inflated all four tires, then attempted to reset the TPMS system. The procedure says to hold the button until the light blinks three times. Having done this in the past, I know that the light should stop blinking when the reset button is released. Now, the light continues to blink after releasing the reset button. When in regular drive mode, the button is continuously on.

Prius (2004-09) :: Reset TPMS Light On Dash

Just had a flat tire. Was in a construction zone on an interstate so had to drive on the flat for a half a mile to get to a pullover spot. Had tires replaced at a Sears auto (only place open). But now can't reset the light on the dash. One thread said to push the reset button under the steering column while starting the car, but that doesn't work.

Prius (2004-09) :: TPMS Sensors Needed To Be Replaced

The dealer tells me my batteries in my low tire sensors are bad. The low tire light on the dash won't go out. So I need to replace the TPMS sensors in my '06 type 5 Prius. I know I can pick them online much cheaper than at the dealer. My question is, is there some reprogramming that will need to be done. I'm assuming it will be some convoluted sequence with buttons on the dash similar to turning off the backup alarm, etc.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: TPMS Sensor Light Came In And Stays On

TPMS sensor has recently came in and stays on. However i checked all 4 tires and the pressures in them are at the appropriate values. I am assuming this could be related to maybe the system just not "seeing" one of the sensors or something. I heard if you use an OBD2 adapter you can see the values reported and it will show exactly what tire is reporting the problem.

Prius (2004-09) :: Leaking Tire Replaced, TPMS Light Came On

I had a leaking tire replaced and my TPMS light was on. I proceeded to go ahead and reset the TPMS system after checking the pressures. The light blinked slowly 3 times, but then blinked fast for quite some time before turning solid again.

After pressing reset button with 3 slow blinks, what does it mean for the TPMS light to blink rapidly for a minute or so before turning solid.

I highly suspect that the guy changing my tire either damaged or did not reinstall my TPMS sensor. Im kicking myself for letting them touch my car since they are so shady.

Golf V R32 :: TPMS System Being Programmed To Know Location Of Tire Sensor?

Is the TPMS system in our cars capable of learning or being programmed to know which tire sensor is where? I know with my Vag-com I can separately see each sensor that is talking to the module.

Do we have the ability to do anything so the MFD is able to tell you which tire is low?

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: TPMS Sensor - Permanent Low Tire Warning Message

So I had a bent wheel and had to replace it and the new one did not have the TPMS sensor so now I get a permanent low tire warning message.

Is there anyway to disable this warning? Alternatively how costly is it to get a new TPMS sensor?

Phaeton :: TPMS Sensor - Flat Tire Warning Comes At Virtually The Same Time When Drive

I have one TPMS sensor that incorrectly tells me I have a flat when I do not. I presume the sensor is faulty because the wheel was moved to the rear as part of a recent service and the problem moved with the wheel.

What I find peculiar is that the flat tire warning comes at virtually the same time when I drive, about ten or so minutes into the journey, and leaves about five minutes later, usually not to return. Indeed, when I occasionally drive the car to work, I know when the signal will come on, within about .25 mile.

I can not use my cruise setting.My hybrid battery show on the LCD screen charge full very quick and it show the battery is fully charged all the time. When I drive my car for about 15 minutes, it cannot be accelerated and it run like very slow. When it happened, in the LCD screen, the battery was not being charged and did not supply the power to the engine. Then, I had to stop my engine and start the engine again. Then, it run like normally and after about 15 minutes, it run very slow. I feel very sad about this and I think I will need to replace my hybrid battery and transmission.

Lexus SC430 :: Stubborn Error 3 On Head Unit

So I got some burned cds stuck in the unit just like everyone said would happen. the unit was full with 6 disks at the time. i removed the unit, removed the cds from the unit, and reinstalled it. once reinstalled i disconnected the battery for 20 minutes to clear any memory and when i tried to use the changer once more the error code 3 returned and the unit still reads full. I am guessing I was supposed to manually move the trays back to the empty position prior to reassembly because I dont hear them attempting to move at all. Even after I cleared the memory the car never read the disc trays as empty so that's my best guess.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: TPMS Sensor Fault Warning - Orange Light Stays On

The warning in the title has been appearing for months. Push reset and the display message goes away but the orange light stays on. No rhyme or reason. Sometimes it's gone after a restart for a day or two. Sometimes it stays on no matter how many times the truck is shut down and restarted in a day.

So I finally took it into Ford for service today because the truck is still under warranty. They ask if the tires have been replaced. Obviously they have because I've got BFG KO2s that are a size or two bigger than stock. But I explained that the tires have been on for several months and that the issued did not present itself when the truck came out of the tire shop. It didn't happen until a couple of months later.

So they tell me that their tool can't even detect that any sensors are present and that they'll break down a tire to check and see that a sensor is there. Two & a half hours later they tell me that they've ordered a body control module and cut me loose with the truck. They'll call when the part is here.
