Frequently asked questions
2013 Toyota RAV4 EV Ev shown

On the Toyota RAV4 EV, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or that the monitoring system has a fault.

Stevinson Toyota East in Aurora, CO, helps Toyota RAV4 EV drivers understand this horseshoe-shaped warning symbol and identify whether the visit involves adding air, inspecting for a leak, or checking a tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure light can appear after a temperature change, even when a tire looks full, and a flashing light points to a system issue rather than a simple pressure reading. A tire pressure diagnosis checks every monitored tire and each sensor signal so the next step is based on measured information. Drivers can review the service details below and schedule service at Stevinson Toyota East.

What the tire pressure light means on a Toyota RAV4 EV

The warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure printed on the driver's door-jamb placard. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the tires appear fully inflated but the light remains on, the tire pressure and sensor signals need to be checked. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated means the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually because a sensor battery has run down. The service visit separates a tire-pressure concern from a sensor concern.

What the diagnosis covers at Stevinson Toyota East

The diagnosis begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. This confirms whether a tire needs air and identifies pressure readings that do not match the vehicle's specified reference. Each tire pressure sensor is also scanned for its signal and battery status.

The inspection includes checking for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the tire pressure sensors correctly. These steps help distinguish a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs replacement. Drivers can schedule service at Stevinson Toyota East for this complete tire pressure light diagnosis.

What does the tire pressure light look like on a Toyota RAV4 EV?It looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside.

A steadily lit symbol means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the driver's door-jamb placard pressure. A flashing light at startup followed by a steady light indicates a monitoring-system fault.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full?The tire may still need a pressure check, or the monitoring system may have a sensor issue.

Cold weather can lower tire pressure by about one psi for every ten degrees, and the light may remain on when a tire appears full. A pressure and sensor scan separates a tire-pressure concern from a sensor concern.

What does a flashing tire pressure light mean?A flashing tire pressure light for about a minute at startup and then a steady light means the monitoring system has a fault.

The service diagnosis scans each sensor's signal and battery status. A sensor battery that has run down is usually associated with this light pattern.

Can a Toyota RAV4 EV be driven with the tire pressure light on?The tire pressure should be set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

The warning may follow a pressure drop after a cold night. Stevinson Toyota East can check every monitored tire, inspect for punctures and leaking valve stems, and identify whether a sensor needs attention.
