Prius (2010-12) :: Tire Pressure Monitor Indicate Too High Pressure

When I bought a used camry 5 years ago and drove it on the highway, my front tire busted and damaged the fender cuz it had too much air!! I wonder if it shows high pressure on my 2010 gen III Prius v with ATP. I know that the tires are special on this v version but still I like to keep a slightly higher pressure in the front ones because the lane keep assist feature works better with higher tire pressure. Summer is coming up so that gets me worried what to do with tire pressures.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Possible To Disable Tire Pressure Management System?

I have a 2006 Prius with 133k miles.

The other day, I had my Michelin Hydroedge tires (87k) replaced with Michelin Defenders.

The tech brought out one of the rims before removing the old tire and told me that he thought that the tire pressure gauge was broken. He shook it and I could hear it rattling inside.

Prius (Gen 3) Fuel :: Low Tire Pressure Caused Low Mileage

I have 6600 miles on my Prius. When I first go my prius I increased my tire pressure to 40 psi. At 5000 miles I got an oil change and my checkup. Took a road trip of 400 miles and got 53-54 mpg.

Just before my fill up at 5500 I put a screw through my front passenger tire. The last two tanks of gas I have only gotten 45 mpg and was ready to take the Prius back into Toyota and ask them to fix whatever they did to the car.. To make a long story short I decided to check the tire pressure on all the tires again. Three of the tires were at 40 psi and the one Toyota fixed was at 35 psi. I inflated the one tire to 40psi and not I'm right back where I was on the mileage. 52-53 mpg.

Prius V :: Tire Pressure Monitoring System Icon?

Just bought the car last week and I am getting somewhat used to the "bells' and whistles" as a new Prius owner. The owner's manual as well as the Nav/Entune manual describe the Tire Pressure Monitoring System as having not only an icon for low pressure on the dash indicator display, but "if equipped" a separate display on the Nav/Entune display which will give the readout for all tires including the low tire "when it senses a low tire condition" (taken from the manual).

I thought my v-five was equipped with the second feature but it will not display when selecting the "Car" button on the panel. I tried deflating a tire and in fact the icon appeared on the dash,(for a low tire) but I still was unable to read individual tire pressures on the Nav/Entune display.

My dealer says the only place he has seen the individual pressure display was on a Highlander.

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 (2010-12) :: Tire Pressure Warning Light Came On

It was very cold in the morning yesterday and my tire pressure warning light came on. I had a funny feeling that it was related to the temperature but it didn't ever go off so I called Toyota today and they said to drop by with it and they would check it out. On the way there after work I got rear-ended. So sad. I thought it was just the bumper but the hatch won't latch properly so they said they would have to 'pull something out...". It was going to be about $800 for a new bumper but now will be more. I'm going tomorrow to see their collision guys about a quote to fix it. My poor car. I have to admit that even with a dented bumper the car still looks good!!! I don't know how I'm going to manage for the two days it takes to get it fixed. I have to re-learn how to use one of those key things.

The Toyota service person told me that he had 14 cars in today alone to reset the tire pressure warning lights that came on because of the cold weather. He said my tire pressure was fine. Just my bumper needs a little work.
