Flashing tire indicator light- '05 GX470 (1 Viewer)

[Jammer]

What does it mean when my tire pressure indicator light is flashing? it's getting kind of annoying to look at while driving. all my tires have adequate air in them.

Thanks,
Jammer.

Flashing means either a tire below 14psi or a fault in the TPWS ie.. broken sensor, low sensor voltage, sensor not communicating etc..
Don't forget the check spare tire pressure

Not sure if you straitened this out yet but for me it was faulty TPMS sensor. So I paid the ~$175 bucks to have it replaced only to have a different one crap out 3-4 weeks later.

It was then that I decided to disconnect the TPMS sensors and the warning light in the dash (google for how to do it. it's pretty simple. just one control box under/behind the glovebox you need to ground). I trust myself to keep the tires at the appropriate pressure and don't need a stupid light and expensive parts to tell me my tires need air.


My $0.02

Check that you are not in "2nd" mode. I believe there is a switch under the glovebox. If you had a second set of tires with sensors then you would put it in 2nd but if you dont then the car is trying to read sensors that are not there. Many times a passenger will kick it with their feet and change mode.
