Tire Pressure Warning Light ON!

slosurfer · 05-13-08, 11:27 AM

My parents have a 200 series that they just got. The TPMS light is stuck on and won't go away.

They checked the spare and it is fine.

They tried clearing it by holding the button with the ignition off and the key turned to accessory.

The only thing was that it was missing a valve stem cap, but they put another one on.

At this point it looks like they are going to have to take it to the dealership to have it cleared unless someone has a trick.

Thanks

I have never had that problem with my 10k on my 200....dealership sounds like the right idea!

Would it be safe to assume that they checked all the tire pressures first?

LOL, yes. The light came on about 100miles from the dealership. They bought it in Oregon and drove it back to CA.

they didn't by chance install aftermarket wheels before they left the dealer did they?

and by hold the button you mean the one at the bottom of the dash down by their feet not up on the steering wheel, yes.

just checking the obvious.

Yes, he was pressing and holding the one down by the feet. He never could get it to flash three times like it's supposed to.

They got it fixed. Apparently the rear tire wasn't "registered" with the system.

I think that is what my mom was told. Anyways, they got it all fixed.

I also signed them up on here, so you may see them on here soon under the username "TydixCruiser". Hi mom and dad!

Wow, more and more electronic stuff to crap out...

The old school system still works best.

slosurfer · 06-11-08, 09:44 AM

I agree. My wife's Tacoma has that system and it's a pain when you air down for the dunes. Even if you hit the reset, the light will come back on due to the spare still being aired up.

I don't think they have had any more problems with it, and they are really enjoying it.

I got to drive it a little bit, and it made me jealous.

I drove our parts truck all winter with that light flashing. You get used to it after a while

I am a 40 guy sooo...what the hell is this light again???.Whats wrong with not giving a crap about the light,or putting some electric tape over it?

Sounds like a fairly fancy "parts truck" to have that them there option...

Fancy enough for you?

The dealership has a pair of these all stickered up like Nascar trucks. They slide around corners quite nicely in the winter
