Where is the Tire Pressure Reset Button on the Yaris L?

The tire pressure reset button on the Yaris L is the SET button on the center display screen. Tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system to reset it after addressing a tire pressure fault. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system retains the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. A simple tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
Once when I was driving my Yaris, the tire pressure light was on, and I kept wondering where the reset button was. Actually, it's located below the left side of the steering wheel, right next to your left leg—there's a small button labeled TPMS. After starting the car, hold that button for a few seconds, and the tire pressure light will turn off. This is especially handy, like when the light stays on after patching a tire because the system needs to relearn the tire pressure values. After resetting, the system starts monitoring new data. I recommend making it a habit to check tire pressure regularly, inflating to around 2.5 Bar using a tire pressure gauge, which saves fuel and ensures safety. Don’t wait until the light stays on to address it, as you might overlook real issues like slow leaks or sensor failures. In short, it’s simple—just find that button.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, the tire pressure reset button is typically located on the lower left side of the steering wheel as a physical button. After ignition, press and hold it for 3 to 5 seconds until the tire pressure light flashes and then turns off, indicating the system has reset. This ensures accurate tire pressure monitoring and prevents false alarms. I believe regular resets can extend sensor lifespan. Combine this with other checks: ensure all tires have consistent pressure to avoid uneven wear or blowout risks. For older Yaris models, the button might be less conspicuous but generally in the same location. The operation is straightforward, so I recommend resetting it during each maintenance service. Safe driving starts here.
