remove about 10lbs of air from the tire. Don’t drive too long without filling it back up. ---

Does your TPMS work with the ABS wheel speed sensors, or do the wheels have pressure sensors mounted inside the tires? If inside-the-tire sensors were removed and not replaced when the new tires were installed, that might explain it. ---

if you have a full sized spare…deflate that tire and if you have valve-stem sensors the low pressure light should come on…otherwise you have ABS-wheel sensors… ---

Thank you for the advice.It must be on the ‘abs-wheel’ sensors.the car came with a small spare tire. ---

just to add confirmation…since you can reset then it is ABS-sensors…you don’t reset valve stem sensors…I have an 05 toyota with ABS-sensors and an 07 with valve stem sensors. ---
