Toyota Corolla: Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Toyota Corolla: Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System

By Mitch Bartlett 11 Comments

If you ever replace the tires on the Toyota Corolla, you may have to reset or initialize the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). There are a series of steps you’ll need to perform to do this. Here’s how it’s done.

Note: If you are experiencing problems where the tire pressure warning light is lit when you don’t think it should be, ensure that you have checked the pressure in all tires. That includes the spare if you have one!

  1. With the vehicle parked, switch the ignition to “LOCK” or “OFF” for vehicles with a smartkey.
  2. Adjust the tire pressure as desired. Preferably you will want to adjust it to the recommended pressure for cold temperatures. For me, it’s 35 psi.
  3. Switch the ignition to “ON“.
  4. Locate the tire pressure reset button  located on instrument panel, knee bolster or inside glove box. Press and hold the button until the tire pressure light flashes 3 times.
  5. Wait for about 3 minutes, then turn the ignition to “LOCK” or “OFF“, and you’re done.

This post applies to 2006 through 2019 models of the Toyota Corolla.

      I followed your directions but the light stays on anyway. I just bought new tires after a tiny hole in one of my old tires. The light came on the next day after the new tires were installed. There is nothing wrong with my tire pressure on any of the new tires.

        Likely one of the TPMS sensors may be going bad or have already gone bad. I would recommend replacement of all 4.

      In that case, one or more of your sensors may be busted.

    I’ve had all my tires replaced and all sensors tested. The light still won’t go off… I’ve even held the button and it won’t flash just stays on consistently… now what?

    After the TPMS sign blinks three times are you expected to still hold on the depressed button till the 3 minutes or after the three times of blink you leave the button and wait for 3 minutes before putting the key to off ? I’ve tried both ways, it still remains ON.
