Toyota Yaris iA Tire Pressure Light

Toyota Yaris iA Tire Pressure Light service at Stevinson Toyota East in Aurora, CO

Frequently asked questions
2017 Toyota Yaris iA shown

The tire pressure light on a Toyota Yaris iA 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 tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault.

Stevinson Toyota East in Aurora, CO, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for Toyota Yaris iA models across all model years. The service distinguishes between a tire that needs air, a puncture or leaking valve stem, and a sensor whose signal or battery requires attention. A steadily illuminated horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point calls for the tire pressure to be checked and set at the next stop. A light that flashes for about a minute after startup and then remains on indicates a monitoring-system fault that should be diagnosed.

What the tire pressure light means on a Toyota Yaris iA

The warning symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays lit steadily, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. 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 pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the tires appear fully inflated but the light remains on, the system still needs to be checked. When the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated, the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor battery that has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at Stevinson Toyota East

The service begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor is then scanned for its signal and battery status. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, helping separate a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing.

After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the serviced components. This process addresses a steadily illuminated warning as well as a light that flashes at startup before staying on. Drivers can schedule service with Stevinson Toyota East for a complete pressure, sensor and leak check.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 common questions answered

What does the tire pressure light look like and mean on a Toyota Yaris iA?It is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point, and a steady light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below placard pressure.

The placard is located on the driver's door jamb. The diagnosis checks every tire and separates an inflation or tire concern from a sensor concern.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full?The light can remain on when a tire has lost pressure, has a leak, or a tire-pressure sensor has a signal or battery issue.

Cold temperatures can also bring on the warning because pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A complete inspection checks pressure, punctures, valve stems and sensor status.

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

The service scans each sensor's signal and battery status. A sensor battery that has run down is usually involved, and the system is relearned after sensor or tire work.

Can I keep driving with the tire pressure light on?Pressure should be set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

A steadily illuminated light indicates pressure below the placard level, while a flashing-then-steady light indicates a monitoring-system fault. Stevinson Toyota East can check the tires and sensors to identify the condition.
