how to fix the TPMS light on Toyota Camry Seventh Generation (2012-2017)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Check and Inflate Tires

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
  2. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire.
  3. Inflate any under-inflated tires to the manufacturer-recommended pressure (typically found on the driver’s door jamb).
  4. Reinstall the valve caps.

3. Reset TPMS System

• Sub-steps:
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
  2. Locate the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering column).
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light blinks three times, then release it.
  4. Start the engine and check if the TPMS light remains off.

4. Replace TPMS Sensors (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  2. Remove the tire from the wheel by loosening the lug nuts and taking the wheel off.
  3. Detach the TPMS sensor from the valve stem using a socket wrench.
  4. Install the new TPMS sensor by reversing the removal steps.
  5. Reinstall the wheel and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 76 ft-lbs).
