    I just installed new tires and I can't reset the sensors, I press the reset button light blinks 3 times and it stays on, Is there something that I’m missing?

    I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction, so just check your manual out it has it in there. Are you having to run a different pressure in your new tires than your spare?

    its either getting pressures out of spec w/ the stockers....or they broke one of the sensors...RTFM for light sequences to see what it is

    All tires have 40 psi's I will check the spare, I’m thinking they broke the sensor too but I’m not sure. Is there a way that I can check with out taking the tires out.

    i dont think so....but if they broke the sensor, its definately their place to replace it. i'd have toyota look at it under warranty, but if its broke, i'd make whoever changed them fix it if its broke

    My local tire shop has a tire sensor scanner, they told me exactly which one was bad. Now, I need to know, is there a difference between a steel or alloy wheel sensor.
