How do I reset the tire pressure monitoring system on a Toyota Corolla E210?

To reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on a Toyota Corolla E210 (2019-2024), follow these detailed steps:

Symptoms Indicating a Need for TPMS Reset:

• TPMS warning light illuminated on the dashboard.
• After inflating tires to the correct pressure.
• After rotating tires or replacing a tire.

Tools Required:

• Tire pressure gauge (to verify correct tire pressure).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Verify Tire Pressure:

   • Tools Needed: Tire pressure gauge.
   • Check the tire pressure of all four tires, including the spare if applicable. Ensure they are inflated to the recommended pressure specified on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
   • Adjust the tire pressure as necessary.

2. Turn on the Ignition:

   • Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine. For push-button start models, press the "Start" button twice without pressing the brake pedal.

3. Locate the TPMS Reset Button:

   • The TPMS reset button is typically located beneath the steering wheel or in the glove box. Refer to the owner’s manual if you have difficulty locating it.

4. Reset the TPMS:

   • Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks slowly three times. This indicates the reset process has been initiated.

5. Drive the Vehicle:

   • Drive the vehicle at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) for about 10 to 30 minutes. This allows the system to recalibrate and recognize the new tire pressures.

6. Verify the Reset:

   • After driving, check to ensure the TPMS warning light has turned off. If the light remains on, repeat the reset process or inspect the tires for any issues.

Estimated Time for the Procedure:

• Approximately 30 to 45 minutes, including driving time for recalibration.

Safety Warnings:

• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged before starting the procedure.
• Do not reset the TPMS without first verifying that all tires are properly inflated, as this could lead to inaccurate readings and potential safety hazards.

By following these steps, you can successfully reset the TPMS on your Toyota Corolla E210. If the TPMS light remains on after multiple attempts, consider consulting a professional technician for further diagnosis, as there may be a fault in the TPMS sensors or system.
