Hello Everyone,

check the spare too.
That's true. I inflated my spare to the recommendation pressure and now the tire light does not come on.
Do I fill the spare according to the spare's inflation limits?
Or do I need to fill the spare with the same amount of pressure as the working 4 tires?? Hope that makes sense
Yes, this can be confusing. I use the recommended "cold tire inflation pressures and wheel size" chart listed in the Toyota Owner's Manual. The tire pressure varies with tire size, type, off-road package, cab size, etc.

it's my understanding the sensors would be looking for pressures approximate to the recommended chart, either in the maual, or the door pillar.
No, the pressure is set when you perform the "reset procedure", and the warning triggers when the pressure varies from that by a pre-determined amount.

ok, cool.
ps- I taped over my idiot light on my instrument panel when I swapped wheels and tires. ;-)
