Toyota TPMS Reset Guide (Prius, Auris, Yaris & Corolla)
If your Toyota TPMS warning light is on, it usually means there is a tyre pressure issue or a fault with the system. Understanding how the Toyota TPMS light behaves is key to diagnosing the problem correctly.

Toyota TPMS Warning Light Meanings
Solid TPMS Light
If your Toyota TPMS warning light is solid (not flashing), this usually means a tyre pressure issue.
- One or more tyres are underinflated
- Temperature changes have reduced tyre pressure
- A slow puncture may be present
In most cases, this can be fixed by inflating your tyres to the correct pressure and performing a Toyota TPMS reset.
Flashing TPMS Light (Flashes for 1 Minute Then Stays On)
If your Toyota TPMS light flashes for around one minute and then stays on, this indicates a system fault.
- Faulty TPMS sensor
- Dead sensor battery
- TPMS programming or coding issue
- Sensor not communicating with the vehicle
This type of Toyota TPMS warning light flashing will not reset with tyre inflation and requires professional diagnostics.
How to Perform a Toyota TPMS Reset
A Toyota TPMS reset is often simple if the issue is related to tyre pressure.
Step 1: Check Tyre Pressures
Check all tyres and inflate them to the recommended pressure shown inside the driver’s door or vehicle manual.
Step 2: Locate the TPMS Reset Button
Most Toyota models including Prius, Auris, Yaris and Corolla have a TPMS reset button located:
- Under the steering wheel
- Near dashboard controls
- Inside the glove box
Step 3: Perform the Reset
- Turn ignition on (engine off)
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button
- Wait until the Toyota TPMS warning light blinks
- Start the engine and drive the vehicle
The system will recalibrate based on the updated tyre pressures.
