2005 Toyota Sienna - tire pressure warning light after replacing one tire
Recently, the right rear tire on my 2005 Sienna got a puncture, and
since it was not pluggable, got is replaced. So there are now 3 original (1.5 years) tires and one new tire. Now the tire warning light comes on every time I drive. It comes on after a few minutes of driving and stays on. Is this because the new tire makes the other 3 slightly off the correct air pressure? Has anyone else experienced this? I checked the air pressure, they are all about equal. Thanks Mark Sabatini |

Replace the tire opposite of the new tire, and put a rim on it. Now you have a full-sized spare, better handling, and the light won't come on. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

2005 Toyota Sienna - tire pressure warning light after replacing one tire
if its an all wheel drive, you should probably replace all 4 at once,
or at least in pairs. i don't know if that has anything to do with the warning light but it will be safer to drive. |

The tire pressure monitor system description and reset procedure is in your owner's manual between pages 196 and 200. It probably won't be an issue using tires of two different wear levels, but there is always going to be some binding on the drive axle in such a case. The rear would be the best place for the new tire, but since you need to eventually perform a rotate, it's a moot point anyway. I always suggest replacing tires in pairs if the tread differential is too severe. Toyota MDT in MO |
