For what year and model? and the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) can only be reset on some models using a TPMS reset tool that you can purchase from an auto part store, or at a repair shop or dealer that has the reset tool, and also, the spare tire does not have a sensor built into it to send a signal to the TPMS so be sure that the tire that you did remove, as well as all of the other tires, do do have all the same and at least the minimum recommended air pressure, even if the tire that you removed is just being carried in the trunk. (those tires usually do well at 37 psi up to maximum air pressure as indicated on the tire) Be sure to use a good tire pressure air gauge when putting air in the four main original tires, and also the spare tire that is now on the vehicle, and then drive the vehicle at 25 mph (15.5 kph) or above for about five to ten minutes and check if the TPMS light goes out.

My tire pressure indicator light is blinking continuously. What's wrong?

Your tires are low on air pressure

Your spare is never checked for air

Your TPMS Sensors in the wheels have failed

A tire store would be a good place to resolve that

2008 Camry 4cyl tire pressure warning light on!!!!!!!!

Hello.

Do you have a full-size spare tire? If so, it too is checked via the Tire Pressure Warning System. Perhaps it is low, this is quite commonly omitted when setting tire pressures. If you have a temporary spare tire, it is not checked. If you have no full-size spare, one of the TWPS sensors may have been damaged by your tire changer. This can happen very easily, if the changer is not careful whilst dis-mounting the tires. A Toyota dealership has a special service tool that will check each of the sensors for output, while on the car. If a sensor is found to be bad, the tester will find it.

Recurring low pressure light and no clear issue

Note that the spare tire pressure is also monitored. If all of the ires (including the spare) are at the proper inflation pressure, and the light remains on, you may have a non-responsive tire pressure sensor; if so, that needs to be checked by a Toyota Dealer.

Lexus ls430 2004 tire pressure indicator

Veve713:
You probably didn't need new tires unless you had some miles on it. Remember that the spare tire also has a pressure monitor as well. It most likely is causing the low tire pressure light on the dash and only needs to be inflated back to what ever your other tires are set to. I had the same problem on my RX and took it back to the dealership where they told me since the spare is exposed to the same elements (it's under the back of the RX - you have to use the tire iron to let the spare down), it will inevidably lose air.

Good luck.

Reset the Low Pressure Tire Indicator Light

If you have the silver-metal valve cores, on the rims, there is NO reset proceedure. Under the valve cores is a transmitter, which is battery powered. It sends a "yes/no" signal to the tire pressure ECM. Note that ALL 5 tires transmit to the ECM. The signal is "at or above" the specific target pressure needed, or is is below the target pressure. What to do: get a GOOD tire pressure gauge, not those cheap ones that look like pencils. Set the tire pressures to the specification, INCLUDING the spare. Your light should go out. If not, there is the possibility that one of the sensors is innoperative, and that will involve a trip to the dealership, to get it replaced under warranty. Try the tire pressure resetting, adn don't forget the spare. Get back to me if this works. Glad to help, and thanks for choosing FixYA.

Lexus ls430 2004 tire pressure indicator

Make sure you check the spare tire too; had this problem on another model and the dealer said it was the spare which is also monitored.  Good news in case you need it one day.
