initialization to complete.
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced, turn
the “POWER”/ignition switch “ON” and press and hold the “ SET” button until
indicator blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow

If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes in
tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the
light.
