Got a tire pressure warning, spare in door jamb .isted at 60 psi, even stamped on the full size spare 60 PSI. New to me, I wonder why. It is not monitored for pressure. Curiously 3 tires were at 30, and one was 33, recommended pressure. I don’t get that!! Filled em up light still on, off to the dea…

Just my opinion, for Toyota to call that a ‘full size spare’ is misleading. I would consider full size to be exactly the same size as the other four.

[image] George_San_Jose1: Does your tpms warning system tell you which tire is the problem? No there is no individual tire information.

I wonder if a shop having the Toyota scan tool could determine which tire it is?

Possibility, I bought an extended warranty for $1400, talked to the dealer, they said bring it in, no problem.

we had to manually reset one of our vehicles we had to shut the warning off. you should check your manual.

No reset I saw in the manual or info screens. I’ll check the pressure before we hit the interstate on our return. It is supposed to correct after driving.

Tire shops have a tool the distinguishes if there is a signal being generated from each sensor.

Think of a bicycle tire at 60. It’s a little space saver spare that needs to provide a lot of support if used.

Could be the pressure sensor’s that have failed, Mom was given a $800 estimate to replace all 4 by the dealer compared to around $400 for the independent on her 2010 Prius. 60psi sounds right for the spare, It’s the same on my Forester.

It sounds like somebody replaced the narrow high pressure spare with a full size regular pressure spare, right @Barkydog ? If so, 60 psi is too high.

I fill my compact spare to 65 PSI. If it’s still high when I actually need it, I can easily let out the extra air when putting the tire on.
