4 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2005

2004 Toyota 4runner. The tire pressure warning system light blinks meaning the system is not functioning properly. I have been to the dealer 5 times and all they seem to do is check the spare tire and reset the warning light after the diagnostic. After 1 day the warning light comes back on. On another Toyota 4runner I test drove I noticed the same blinking tire pressure sensor warning light.

5 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2004

Relates to a 2004 Toyota 4runner. The tire pressure sensor system malfunctions and the light blinks indicating low pressure in the tires (blinking of the light per the provided manual is indicative of low pressure in tires). Toyota and its dealers refuse to acknowledge the issue and unable to offer a fix. I have had my vehicle in the dealer shop now twice and involved regional Toyota technical support with no resolution. Each time the sensor is reset, the light triggers on after a few days. Likely a failure of the either the tire sensor or the electronic control module. By admission of the dealer multiple vehicles have similar problems. The failure of the tire pressure sensor system tends to occur each time after driving conditions that involve higher (legal) speeds and after continuous driving for more than 30 minutes on highways.

6 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2004

Low tire pressure indicator light comes on and blinks after vehicle has been travelling at highway speeds for extended periods of time. Usually occurs after driving for an hour or more. Dealer reports that no tire problems found and resets indicator. Indicator must be reset by dealer, or it will continue its annoying blinking.
