    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    That means you have a low tire.

    was it cold in Calgary this morning? I woke up the other day it was maybe 40* and the light was on, it was the spare tire, tires tend to lose air when its cold

    Welcome to TW.

    when you get home tonight, pour yourself a drink, and read every page of the owners manual. Believe it or not, there is a lot of good information in there.

    I agree, it's a great feature in my opinion. Your info says you have a 2010, are you sure you have a TPMS in the spare?

    I have been reading my manual. I've never had tpms so I thought it looked like a bulb out error. I'm going to check after work today. I have a compressor, now I need to first find my tire gauge lol. Thanks for the help you guys.

    American trucks don't have a bulb error indicator light. Is that indicator common on Canadian vehicles?

    No bulb-out error indicator light in Tacomas, US, Canadian or Mexican. Dubious feature IMO: If a blinker goes out you get hyperblink. If a headlight goes out you'll notice reduced lighting. LED tail lights don't burn out. The bulb-out detection system does complicate HID kit installation.
