Honest, down to earth advice with no theatrics. What a great channel.

I had the same problem with my Rav4. It took me quite a while to figure out it was the spare tire that was under inflated. Thanks for posting this, I hope it helps others avoid the confusion that this can cause.

An honest mechanic will always be happy and satified,,and you are one of them,,,and thats rare..

Believe or not. I just did what you said ten minutes ago and it worked! It's the spare tire! I have been having the light on for two days even after I filled up all my tires. Thanks for the timely video!

Wow! Awesome information. I went to a dealership and they tried to sell me replacement tire sensors for $300 each. They never mentioned replacing batteries. They checked tire pressure on 4 tires, not the spare. I will check all 5 tires now and see what happens. It's so good to know there are good honest people who care about customers. GOD bless you. Thank you.

Wow. What scammers.

Well, I’ll be dipped! Three days ago the blasted TPMS light on out 2007 Lexus ES 350 came on! No blinking, just a steady light. A couple of the tires were slightly low so I aired them up. Light still on! I stumbled onto this video by accident! Never would have dreamed to spare had a sensor! It’s the original spare, never been on the ground and more than likely, never been checked! Guess what I’m going to do tomorrow morning! Great video! 1

yea, my spare under my 06 Tundra has a sensor too. Every once in a while gotta drop it n air it up.

They say you learn something new every day. I learned this.

"Hopefully we can help her together." Well, Peter, I am willing to do my part by staying the heck out of the way and letting you get on with the diagnosis.

Peter, I think it is awesome the way you invite us along for the ride as you venture forthe into vehicle maintenance journeys. Thank you for your time!

I have this exact same problem and mechanics wanted to replace the sensors. I said forget it, it doesn't bother me. I'm gonna check the spare tire! You're awesome! You have a new subscriber!

Just learned something new today, This small detail actually matter but not everyone noticed. Thank you so much for your help and your kindness!

I’ve watched a few of your videos. Thanks for the quick information! I’ve learned a lot so far about my new (but used) RAV4. Thank you thank you!!!!!

Spare?!? There’s a spare tire? Where? Only thing I ever see is one of those play tires. Serv-O. I think 🤔 every car around here has one on one of the corners. 🤣🤣

I have the 2008 Rav4, the reason why I knew the spare had a TPMS was because it is a glorious FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE!

This is a really great channel for Toyota. I have 2010 Rav

I have a 2006 Tundra that periodically gets the nagging TPS light. I also discovered that my spare tire is the culprit! I have to fill the spare about every 3 months. Thanks for sharing the information. I hope it helps others who have not thought about their spare tire.

Great video. My father has 6cyl 2007 rav4 sport. Incredible vehicle, easily best he ever owned. This one here is in incredible shape, that lady cares about her vehicle and it shows. The one thing that consistently bothers my dad is that the tires lose pressure alot. Oddly enough it's the driver side rear that gives him the most trouble. I say oddly because he's switched it with the spare, same deal, bought a new rim, same deal. We've changed tires, valve stems, made sure they beaded it properly, changed tire shops. Nothing works. So I think it's just this model's rims. But more of an inconvenience than anything else. I'm a Ford guy myself, but my dad's 2007 Toyota rav4 sport is better than any vehicle I've ever owned. Least problems of any vehicle I've known. Thanks for the info I will inflate his spare just for piece of mind of knowing that one is inflated and not setting off the light. 👍

Great video. Checking my spare as soon as I get home

Great video! Thank you. I wish you were my mechanic.

This is exactly what happened to our 2008 RAV4. We drove to Canada from NJ that same light came on while we were in Canada. I checked all 4 tire pressures and they were all fine. I thought there was a malfunction and then I remembered it has a full size spare on the back. So I checked the pressure there and sure enough it was low. So I filled it up and the light went away. So now when ever I check the tire pressures before a long trip I also check the spare tire pressure with all of our vehicles.

It was the damn spare tire all this time, thank you my dude

Thanks man, fantastic tip. Thank you. Who what've thought the spare also had a sensor. Wow, Toyota thought of everything, even the spare lol!

Muy buen video, este hombre tiene la paciencia del mundo para enseñar t

I don't have such a modern vehicle, but that is a wonderful tip to remember about the fifth in the future.

Great 👍 you saved my time to keep thinking on this😊

Thanks 👍 you are best engineering

Awesome help, thank you! That has to be my issue. I wish you were in Tennessee.

Thank you, I thinks I have same problems the air good in all, but still have the light on. I will check the spare tires thank you again.

Hi. Could you please tell me if you have one video where you changed the check valve in Toyota? Thank you for your videos.

my Dad's 2011 garage queen Highlander with 33K on it suddenly displayed it's low tire pressure dash light.... well first I checked out the manual and it said there was a reset button on the lower dash under the steering wheel, no such luck and after inflating the tires light stayed on.... then I saw your video about inflating the spare..... so I did problem solved ! you just never know where the solution is coming from thank you

Thank you so much I love your channel and I have the same problem with my 2007 RAV4 sport it happened right after I very cold snap hear in upstate New York my tires are larger than standard size I have 235R55-18 is the pressure for them the same 32psi ?? and do I need to drive it for the light to shut off just curious and thank you for your help and guidance you are awesome and amazing

I am surprised the batteries inside the tires that run the sensors are still good after 13 years on a 07 Rav-4? Excellent diagnostics.😀

Thanks for sharing, It happen to my son Toyota RAV4 Never check the spare tire 😀

Thank you GOOD MAN appreciate for your information God Bless you

Love the channel. Keep it up

Yes, I saw it. Thank you, my friend. You were right, I was just in a hurry.

My TPMS warning light is steady on. Turns out two were not transmitting. Sit too long during the Rona house arrest. Found out you can wake them up by releasing pressure for xx seconds and then reinflating. However the numbers change from seconds and PSI. Went to tire store and attached auto pressure pump to deflate to 20 and reinflate to 35 and it woke up one of them. Procedure may be different like many makes and models but also Pacific may have different programming between TPMS. I say that only because I did it manually and it did not work on one. There is no reset TPMS on this year vehicle. And no trigger programming like on American makes, done a lot of times after rotation.

You are amazing, thank you so much....... now I'm going to go back to the two mechanics I took my rav4 for that light and school them. 😂😂 no one couldn't figured out.

2016 Highlander but spare is small one with 60 psi required. Not sure if it is in the monitor loop or not but if it is it would require keeping track of 2 pressures in order to light the display I am guessing. Great video

very good thank you very much what about the batteries how do you check the batteries that are dead what if the sensor is bad without going to the garage to remove the tire how do you differentiate between the sensor being bad and the battery being bad

New to me, 2012 Rav4 V6 tire story. 50 ish miles into it we could hear a sound like a whistling electric cooling fan but almost under the driver's seat underneath. Went thru all the horror stories and was scared. But continued thru correcting all the screw-ups from the previous owners mechanic. In doing so, discovered the drivers' side rear tire was 3 lbs lower than the rest. Noise is now gone.

Looks like a nice suv

I have a 2007 v6 my engage the 4x4. On is good feature for safety here in winter every 3 days I have to e reset. But it keeps coming back why ?

Most helpful video .

Omg i never thought about that lol thank you

Awesome job thank you so much.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 ❤

I have a 2006 rav4 and my Tpms light is also on but I do not have a spare wheel at all. Any help would be appreciated,

Great video. Thank you

you are amazing Man. Thanks a lot

About the right vintage for the sensor battery to crap out.😎

That was very interesting.

Nice job and video

Thank you, sir.

Thanks for the info.......Jim

Hello, i have 2007 rav4 2.4 L 2azfe engine 158k miles burns a lot of oil 1qt evry 300 to 500 miles , whats the fix for this problem?

Thank you!

I have the same vehicle but year 2009 but it runs a little thought when it accelerated and spends a lot of gas and even when I accelerate it the revolutions react a little late, do you have any idea that it could be?

Thank u I finally fixed it

we have 2 Toyota vehicles with dedicated winter tires on steel rims with no TPMS , reason for that is that you cannot program 2 separate sensors in the computer , therefore we have to stare at that orange light for up to 6 months a year here up north in Canada in the winter

How does the spare tire sensor send data to the computer? Is it wireless?

Which states are most likely to have rust? I'm from Utah and I'd never had a car rust on me.

I thought the TPS system is only programmed/ set for the four-tire not the spare?

WELL DONE!!!!!!

Great job 👍🏾

I currently have the same issue with my spare on my 08" RAV4, slowly leaks air and sets of dash light. . Maybe it's only a problem with the green ones because I have the same color...😆

Well that makes sense if you look in the manual that tires supposed to be part of rotation

My Rav4 started flashing, does that mean I need to replace something else, either than the sensor

Brilliant!

Awesome, thanks!

thanks ，I ' m very happy!!!!

Went through this about a month ago on my daughters 2012 Rav4. Tire light on, all pressures are good, here is was the spare.....

Hi I'm from Northern California can you change my spark plugs please.

hi, rav 4 2021, I hold OK button on tpms menu for reset, but nothing happen

Awesome

My son has the same Rav4, exactly this one and I put air for all five tires with 32 psi, but the warning light still not going off.

Can you please explain why the engine is making that noise?

Wish my ford f250 spare had a sensor! Got a flat and changed it and the spare was at 20 psi. Had to take 25 minutes with my portable pump to take it to 50-60!

Thank you!!🤗

Nice good God bless

I hope you can help me, when is the right pressure you should have, a week ago I bought a rav4 and it gave me the low-pressure signal, I went to inflate them and left them at 40psi the 5 tires but the light does not turn off.

Same to my 2006 Rav4, 129000 miles. 5 tires at 36, but light doesn't go off.

Had that happen on my Tacoma a couple times.

Well done.

What happens if the light stays on and all tires are at 32?

Love you accent

Did that still on

Genius!

Someone Help! I have a Rav4 2019 LE. And i had brand new tires put on the car. The light does not come on but this message on my comes on the screen ( where the radio and back up camera screen is) it says "a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system has been detected. Do not relay on this system. Please contact your toyota dealer to have your vehicle inspected" The dealership doesnt seem to think its an issue and told me toyota will send a signal to the car to make it go away.......stupid response for I dont know! Help someone. Again tires are brand new and the actually tire light is not on.

“She will be very happpeehh” nice
