Got a very strange TPWS message today out of the blue

"TPWS Malfunction Please See Dealer" .... on the small display in between the tach and speedometer. This is a '24 ORP, about a year old with 4k miles.

When I scroll to view tire pressure the display shows "---" for all 4 tires and has another malfunction message at the top of the little screen.

I checked tire pressure.... they are all fine.

Curious as to what shit the bed and how/why it happened. I am running Toyo OC's with the OEM tire sensors on TRD Pro wheels since almost Day 1 with this 4R.

 

You might try going to vehicle settings then TPMS and do a reset. Take your '24 for a drive to see if they'll read correctly for you.

 

Dealer changed the tires? Possible a TPMS sensor was damaged. In any case, it should be covered under warranty.

 

Had the same 2 days ago. I reset the TPWS using the vehicle settings in the speedometer settings. So far, so good.

 

you do this reset through the main/center infotainment system?

thx!

 

Yes. Scroll through the drivers information center and you will see it on one of the menus.
The procedure is also in the manual, forgot what page off the top of my head.

 

Had similar issue, took it to the dealer that reset it in front of me using dash menus.

 

No through the speedometer center display using steering wheel controls. Its under vehicle settings

 

thank you, unfortunately it’s not working for me. I press and hold and nothing happens…. It won’t clear or reset.

also, any parts store with an odb2 machine can reset it for you for free

 

Have the TPMS system reset and cleared of any codes. See if it comes back on immediately. If so, there's a bad sensor (sometimes damage, sometimes the battery) that will need replacement.

 

Yeah, I can't clear it on my own. It won't reset through the steering wheel controls. I need to get someone to plug in.... I'm guessing it is a bad sensor because I know I had a problem with one valve stem very recently.... seems too coincidental. thank you everyone for the insights.
