Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Sensor Light On With Stable Air Read?


Jul 13, 2011

My tire sensor "!" lights been on for a while now.. it usually disappeared when i aired up the tires but with a stable air read it is still on. Tried doing a reset but it still stays on.

Do one of my sensors are faulty or do I just need a program reset? Or I can just go to a big tire shop to get it fixed or should i go to the stealership?

Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Pressure Sensor Light On After Return From Repair Shop

Looking for info about the tire pressure sensors.

My 2nd gen prius was recently in an accident; I got hit directly on the passenger side rear right tire. Car has been in the shop for over a month, they replaced the rim (moved the old pressure sensor over with the tire), doorshell, bumper, and rear axle beam.

I picked up my car yesterday, and on my way home the TPS warning light comes on. I go back to the repair shop, and they said one of the sensors were asleep and they just had to re-activate it and clear the error code.

Gen 2 Prius :: 2007 - Tire Pressure Sensor Light Came On

I've got a 2007 Prius and the tire pressure sensor light came on long ago and won't reset. My tires are properly inflated. Rather than to keep speculating I figured I could use the Mini VCI to see if any codes or information come up.

Prius (2004-09) :: Code P3012 / Red Triangle But All Module Voltages Stable

2007 Prius with 112k. It's getting the red triangle and check engine with code P3012. My understanding is P3012 points to 'Battery Block 2 Becomes Weak'. Battery block 2 is the 3rd and 4th modules counting from the end where the ECU is. These two modules test out the same as the other 26 modules in this pack, ranging from 7.40 to 7.46.

I got them this low by running A/C on high with car in neutral, hoping the bad module would show up. (Neutral prevents engine from charging HV battery.)

Prius (2010-12) :: Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On After Blinking For 1 Minute - Dead Sensor

I am driving down the road and the TPMS light starts to blink - and then stays on. I looked in the manual and it says that "When the light comes on after blinking for 1 minute: Malfunction in the tire pressure warning system." The resolution is to "Have the system checked by your Toyota dealer."

All my pressures, including the spare are how I have them set. I also made sure to re-set the TPMS button under the steering wheel to the new pressures and everything. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm kinda mad a sensor has failed though on a car that's less than one year old.

Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Sensor Warning Indicating Low Pressure / Blinks For A Minute Then Lights Steady

Had the low tire light indicating a tire has low pressure, which I have had happen before and so inflate all tires from 38 to 40 lbs each. After a few tire rotations, lamp extinguishes. Except this time it doesn't. It blinks for a minute then lights steady.

Any way to reset it (didn't find anything in owners manual) or tell if its the sensor in a tire or the sensor element on car? Either way suppose will be a visit to Toyota repair. Oh well, first real visit for a problem in six years (other than for recalls), other than headlight replacements and oil changes.

Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Pressure Warning Light Came On

This sensor came on, I filled the tires up to 35 and it went away. A few weeks later, I decided to air the fronts to 40 and the backs to 38 PSI. The light came back on.

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.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 - Tire Pressure Light Keeps Coming On

I just bought new tires on my 2008 Prius. The tires are the Bridgestone Ecopia's ...

My problem is that the tire pressure light keeps coming on. I have checked the pressure individually and everything seems fine there. I have also taken it back to where I purchased the tires. They have tried to reset the TPMS sensors on each only to have the light turn back on after about 20 miles. My concern is that the sensors went bad or were damaged during installation. I asked about this and was told that the batteries on the sensors are fine. Their reasoning for making this determination was that in the reset process all sensors responded very quickly. If the batteries were going bad on the sensors, then it would have taken a long time for the sensors to read their computer. The tire guy also said that if the sensors were damaged, they would not respond at all. Since all responded, they should be okay.

Prius (2004-09) :: Slip Warning Light Over About 15 Mph With Spare Tire

I had a flat today and put on the spare. Over about 15 mph I got the Slip Warning light and the system was limiting my speed. Is there a button or something to disable the system so I can drive at normal speeds? From other postings it seems not. Is there anything else I should be doing???

Prius (2004-09) :: Gas Gauge Read All Notches Full

I have a 2009 Prius. Yesterday, I had a very strange (to me) thing happen. My gas gauge read all notches, full. As expected, it went down a notch at about 120 miles.

I sat in a parking lot for a bit with the car in ready, running, and park. I noticed that whenever the car would switch to using gas, the gas gauge would change. It would suddenly show all notches again, instead of missing one.

When it would switch back to battery, the notch would move down again.

It eventually moved down 2 notches (which is probably accurate since I was sitting for about 30 minutes) and then would jump back up to full when it switched to gas again.

Subaru - Forester :: 2008 - Tire Pressure Sensor Light Is On

Ever since it started getting cold here in the Northeast (mid December ish) my tire pressure sensor light is on. I know that it may be necessary to add air during cold weather as the air in the tire can contract in the cold but the pressure is fine - I had my mechanic check it out. Light does go out when it warms up - at least above freezing - but comes back on again when it gets cold. Normally I spend most of the winter in Florida but am usually here (in MA) until mid Jan. and this has never happened in previous years.

Kia - Sedona :: CEL Came On While Driving / Code Read Camshaft Sensor

While driving home my cel came on, the next morning I took it to the dealership. The code read camshaft sensor. The mechanic ask how the van was driving, I said perfect, no issues no nothing. He said that was kind of surprising.

The next morning went out and no cel at all and van still running fine. Spoke with another mechanic who said a number of things can cause that code and to hold off on the new sensor and see what happens over the next few weeks engine performance wise and if CEL comes back on.

What should I do? Car is a 2002 KIA Sedona mini van that has had zero engine issues while I have owned it since 2010.

Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Light Warning Turned On After New Tires Installed

Got the new tires the other day (Thursday) from a tire chain store. As I was driving off, I noticed the tire light warning turned on and then moments later, it turned off. I thought maybe it was just that. Today (Saturday) the tire light went on again. Brought the car back to tire store and the service manager checked the pressure, the tires were all low pressure, 29-30 psi instead of 35s. He re-inflated them all but the tire light will not turn off. So next step was he used a scanner tool which he attached close to all the tires.

Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Pressure Warning Light Keeps Come On Then Starts Blinking

I've had my prius since April and the tire pressure light keeps coming on. It's been in to the dealer 5 times now and they have yet to find out what's causing it. It doesn't come on when I'm driving in town but only when I'm going out of town on a trip. I make almost monthly trips that are approximately 180 miles one way. I don't go over any mountain chains or have any large increase/decrease in temperature. I've been documenting when it comes on and it seems to be about 1 1/2 hrs into our trip but it has come on earlier also. Basically, the light will come on, start blinking for several seconds and then stay on until the car is stopped. Then it'll turn off. However, I've also had it only stay on for a few minutes before it turned off. It's never on when I take it in to be looked at.

Toyota - Highlander :: 2007 - Tire Air Pressure Sensor Light Keeps Coming On

Two days ago I had new tires put on my 2007 Toyota Highlanders and since that time my air pressure sensor light keeps coming on. The tires are the right size, I checked in the owners manual. I've taken it back to the shop that put on the tires twice. The first time they told me the spare was low on air. the second time they told me the batteries in the air pressure sensors are dying and need to be replaced. I thought that sounded like a lame excuse so left the shop and called the Toyota Dealer and asked if the air pressure sensors have batteries. The service department at the Toyota dealer laughed and said no, they run off the car's battery. I called the shop back to tell them I was very disappointed and unhappy that they tried to sell me something that doesn't exist and they stood by the batteries in the sensors story and claimed they would show them to me if I would come back to the shop. Who should I believe? Replacing the batteries in tire air pressure sensors?
