    I checked all my tires air pressure and read the recommended amount of air pressure that’s needed and tried resetting the switch and it still pops on. Any ideas brothers and sisters of Tacoma world.

    One or more sensors have flaked out.

    7 - 10 years is a good run on sensor batteries.

    Agreed. Sensors crapped out.

    I have one that's no longer reading whenever the temperature is below 50. I'm trying to hang on until spring to replace the tires and all four sensors in one go.

    If those are the factory sensors at least one is dead. Seven to 10 years is typical, but I've seen some last as long as 14 years. Yous are around 12 years old.

    I bought new ones from Amazon. The price varies depending on the exact vehicle, plus Amazon prices fluctuate daily. But somewhere between $60-$80 should get you a set of 4 new sensors. Most tire shops will charge you around $10 each to install and program them.

    I have always replaced mine proactively. If I'm buying new tires and if the sensors will be more than 8 or 9 years old before that set of tires wear out I take new sensors with me to the tire shop. There is no extra charge to install them if you're buying new tires and paying to have them mounted.

    I bought ACDelco ones off of Rock Auto, had them installed at Costco with my tires. They were ordered/installed in January 2020. So far no problem. However, I would recommend what the poster above me ordered, the Densos as they are a Toyota part supplier.
