Oil Change Reset Procedure
 
Step 1 Switch display to the odometer.
 
Step 2 Turn the "ENGINE START STOP" switch or the engine switch to the OFF position.
Step 3 While pressing the trip meter reset button, turn the "ENGINE START STOP" switch or the engine switch to the ON position. Continue to press and hold the button until the trip meter displays 000000.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System by dodge77

Unfortunately I don't have an owners manual for my 2007 Avalon Touring. I have read elsewhere that it is necessary to recalibrate the TDMS system after rotating tires. Can anyone provide me with the procedure to accomplish this recalibration.
 
Thanks

TPMS by popsavalon

Manual says system will not work properly if tires are rotated on vehicles requiring different front and rear pressure (07 Avalon pressures are the same) or if normal tire pressure is changed. I have rotated tires twice with no problem.
 
If re-initialization of TPMS is required:
Adjust all tires to correct cold tire pressure.
Turn ignition switch to ON.
Push and hold tire pressure warning switch (push button located under dash to left of steering wheel) until TP Warning Light blinks slowly three times.
Wait for a few minutes with ignition switch ON, then turn switch OFF.
 
If TP warning light does not blink slowly three times, try procedure again.
 
Hope this info helps.

Thank you popsavalon for sharing the information concerning the TPMS on my 2007 Avalon. I can see that I am going to have to break down and purchase an owner's manual in the near future. Happy motoring !!

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to change the car battery without losing the information in the computer in order to avoid reprogramming the radio and other accessories?

I know mechanics have a special device for this but this advertisement claims it does the same thing: (scroll to bottom of page).

You dont need a very big battery to preserve radio presets.

Hello arif cse
 
    I'm not sure what that indicator light is on your car.. I have an 07 xls and I looked in the owners manual to see if I could find any warning lights that looked like what you described... the only thing I found was a symbol of a car with 2 squiggly lines, also at the back. According to my owners manual, this symbol is; 'slip indicator / traction control system off light. This may or may not be related to your icon... but hope it helps none the less.
