FWIW, 2005 and 2006 tc's did NOT use tpms sensors in the wheels. The computer decides a tire is low based on different wheel speeds. Toyota moved to wheel sensors in the 2007 model year.
Did they replace the tire pressure sensor kits?

You shouldn't be setting the tire pressure to the max inflation pressure listed on the sidewall, that will likely result in uneven tire wear with the center of the tire wearing out prematurely. You should set the pressures according to the listings in the door jam. Most likely 32-34psi. Also, have you checked the spare tire? Some systems monitor and will illuminate the TPMS light if the spare tire pressure isn't within an acceptable range. The spare is often overlooked when checking tire pressures because of a TPMS indicator.

All you need to do is when the car is in the on position (engine off) in the glove compartment there is a button hold that down and it will go off. if you do this with the engine on it will just keep coming back
SOURCE: What does it mean if the tire light stays on
the light means that there is still a problem with the tire system, if there is a spare make sure to check that. If the light is still on after setting all tire pressures then there is most likely one of your tire pressure sensors bad which is the valve stem if equipped. What you can try is pump all tire pressures up to about 45 psi, then qiuckly let the air out one tire at a time. This kinda wakes up the system. If this doesn't solve it then you will have to take it to the dealer.

Hello! You're problem could likely be a problem with the TPMS, or (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) - sensor. There is one in each wheel, and it's recommended that with any tire changes that they be rebuilt or replaced. I'm not sure if you've reset the tire pressure switch or not, but if you haven't and aren't familiar, the button is located inside the glove box. With the car on, press the button for 3-5 seconds and release. Turn the car off, and then back on and your light should be off.
Hope this helps and good luck! Thanks for using FixYa!
Check and adjust the pressure in all the tires (most Toyotas even monitor the spare tire pressure so check that also). If you find one tire with significantly lower air pressure then the rest bring the car to a repair shop to have them find and repair the leak. Once the air in the tires are correct the light will go off.
