Curious if anyone has had issues with the Tire Pressure warning light illuminating for no apparent reason? Came on about a week ago, I verified the pressure in all the tires and they were right at recommended levels with one tire being about a lb lower than the other three. Just to be safe I aired everything to the exact same value, and verified all the lug nuts were torqued properly as well. I finally disconnected the battery and reconnected and no joy. The light still popped on as soon as I started the car up. Is there a) a different reset method - I know some modern cars aren't fooled by the battery disconnect anymore? or b) another idea in general?

Your owners manual should have that information. Or a call to a dealer or competent garage should get you an answer as well. |

Replying to: dake (Apr 20, 2008 8:50 am) Yarisworld.com forum I took my car to the dealership and watched them reset it. 1. With the odometer on trip A and the ignition off, press and hold the reset button. 2. Turn the ignition on (no need to start the car) and wait for it to start blinking. It will count down and when it's done, it'll be reset. Also, finally found on page 243 of the 2008 owners manual. |

It seems logical that 15 inch wheels would keep the rpm's lower than 14 inch wheel's, that said can I assume that 15 inch wheel's would produce better mpg, than the 14 inch wheel's?

Replying to: lewjac3 (Oct 02, 2008 3:58 pm) MPG is really dependent on distance divided by fuel use. If you have a greater tire height, it may appear when you divide the mileage by the fuel use that you are actually getting worse gas mileage. In reality the mileage is about the same, but your odometer will actually just be inaccurate (as it was based on a lower height tire). You will have actually traveled farther than the odometer will read. It is actually tire width that has the greatest effect on mileage. A wider tire has greater friction and thus has lower fuel efficiency in general. |
