#10 of 27 Tire Pressure Monitor System by byumgr Oct 30, 2007 (10:37 pm)
I have a 2005 Highlander which I just had the tires replaced. As I was reviewing the bill of sale I noticed that all 4 tubeless value stems were replaced also. What I want to know is the tire pressure monitor system still going to function properly even though they replaced the value stems as I believe the tire pressure warning system (transmitter) is inside of the rim.

Replying to: byumgr (Oct 30, 2007 10:37 pm) 2005 uses ABS sensors to measure speed differences among tires,there is no connection to the rim or tire. Replies to this message: byumgr (Oct 31, 2007 9:21 am) typesix (Oct 31, 2007 4:31 pm)

Replying to: typesix (Oct 31, 2007 7:41 am) Ok what about the spare tire? My low low tire pressure light came on and it ended up being the spare tire that was low. Once filled to the proper psi the light went out. So does this mean that the spare tire has the direct sensors in the rim? Replies to this message: typesix (Oct 31, 2007 4:31 pm)

My light came on and the dealer checked the spare, inflated it to proper psi and the light went out. Replies to this message: typesix (Nov 05, 2007 3:33 pm)

#17 of 27 2008 Spare any different ??? by rzepa1 Nov 28, 2007 (1:10 pm)
I just had a flat and repalced it with spare. I am planning on fixing the flat and making it a spare. From what I am reading here, I am getting conflicting info as I am not sure whether the spare has TPM sensor..the spare is identical tire on indentical rim so I would think it does. Any ideas ?

Replying to: rzepa1 (Nov 28, 2007 1:10 pm) Only the '08 measures pressure directly, including the spare.   Prior Highlanders sense low pressure by monitoring the ABS wheel rotation sensors. They do not monitor the spare. My '05 is indicating low pressure every other week for no apparent reason. A manual check of pressures indicate all within 2 lbs. : (
#19 of 27 2008 TPN and new rims by jjjsmith Dec 12, 2007 (11:38 am)
Just purchased a 08 highlander Sport and after looking at the quality of the tires and finding out they are only made by two companies(only 3 tires available), I have decided to get rid of the 19" and buy new 17" rims(like are available on the basic model). Many more higher quality tires are available for 17" rims. Does anyone know how the TPM is attached to the toyota rim? are they moveable or do you have to buy new sensors when you switch rims? Also could they be removed and "reset to 0psi" and just stored in the car for the duration of ownership. Spent 50 years watching my own tire pressure, believe I can still handle that.... Thanks
