#25 of 27 2007 Highlander -- tire pressure sensor by traceyl Sep 02, 2009 (2:54 pm)
I have a 2007 Highlander. I needed one tire replaced due to a puncture. They put the new tire on the back along with my full size spare tire and made one of the 'old' tires the spare. Now the problem is I can't get the tire pressure sensor light to stay off. I've taken it back in twice (America's tire company), they've checked and rechecked mount and pressure; reset light and about 10 miles into my drive, the sensor light comes back on. They are at a loss and suggested I go to the dealer.   Reading here, I'm wondering if the problem is that there is no sensor in the spare. Could that be the case? Is there an actual sensor in the wheel? Or is the pressure monitored some other way? Thank you for your help. Replies to this message: typesix (Sep 03, 2009 12:32 pm)

Replying to: traceyl (Sep 02, 2009 2:54 pm) Your Highlander does not have pressure sensors in the rims(2008 on up do), it uses rpm difference from anti-lock brake sensors to detect rpm differences to indicate a tire is low on air. If all 4 tires are low by same amount, it won't activate. The problem may be that the two new tires have enough diameter differences with the front tires and therefore rotate at different speeds compared to the front, enough to activate the low tire pressure warning. If so nothing can be done, as the system is expecting all 4 tires to have the same tread wear.

First, live in Central Asia. I just changed all four tires for the Winter Season (From Brigestone to Dunlop) and now the tire pressure sensor is permanently on. Balancing for all the tires also done at placement. Put air in the tires to specification and still no change. Do I need to reset the TPM as suggested above? Or the light will be on permanently?   Thanks for your help
