Toyota TPWS can be calibrated. Overview of Toyota Motor: FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was established in June 2000 and registered in Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area. FAW Toyota has three major production bases located in Tianjin, Changchun Jilin, and Chengdu Sichuan, China. Toyota vehicle models: FAW Toyota's product lineup includes the "VIOS", "COROLLA", "ALLION", "AVALON" sedans, "IZOA", "RAV4", "CROWN KLUGER" SUVs, and the "COASTER" bus.
I drive quite a lot, and Toyota's tire pressure monitoring system can indeed be calibrated. You need to perform the operation after seasonal changes or tire replacements. Last time I got new tires, the warning light kept flashing, and it took me a while to figure out the calibration process. Usually, you can find the TPWS reset option in the central control settings menu. After confirming the tire pressure is correctly adjusted, start the calibration and remember to drive around for about ten minutes to let the system relearn. Some high-end models even allow operation through steering wheel button combinations, which is quite convenient. However, it's best not to mess with it yourself—follow the manual instead. If the sensor is broken or the system has a fault, and the light stays on after calibration, you should take it to a professional shop for inspection. Safety first—driving on the highway with incorrect tire pressure is really scary.
My Toyota has been driven for three years, and the tire pressure warning has been calibrated several times. The operation is actually not difficult. First, ensure all tire pressures are adjusted to the standard value, then start the car, go to the settings in the multimedia screen to find the tire icon. Select the reset option and confirm as prompted—it will automatically start calibrating. However, you need to drive for a while to complete the process. I usually wait until the weekend to take a short trip to get it done. If the warning goes off right after fixing a flat tire, it’s likely because the sensor wasn’t reset. Also, models with a spare tire equipped with a sensor require extra attention—some owners have experienced false alarms due to low pressure in the spare tire. If calibration fails, it might be because the battery is dead, and the sensor needs replacement. It’s best to have this handled by a 4S shop. I check the tire pressure and perform calibration every quarter—it’s hassle-free and ensures safety.
