    Last week, I went to a local garage and replaced the stock tires with new Falken Wildpeaks (which ended up being a great move). After driving for several days, the TPWS system is still showing an error. I have followed the owner's manual to reset the system, but it's not working. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears. After reading the stories from other owners, my initial thought is that maybe one of them is broken or has fallen off. Thanks.

    Light flashing or steady?

    Steady is low air pressure, flashing is a system fault.

    If it's flashing and been on continuously since the tire swap then yeah, most likely installers broke one or otherwise mangled something.

    I’m assuming you have checked pressure and made sure they’re all above 30psi? I would contact whatever place you got the tires installed at and tell them that you’re having issues after they touched your tires/wheels.

    The light is steady, and the pressure was good initially, but I guess with the cold temps, it could have dropped lower. I will recheck the pressure and see if that is all that needs to be done. Hopefully that's it and I can reset the system. Thanks guys

    The spare wasn't touched.

    No TPMS in the SR5, OR, or PRO spare. Possibly also not in the Ltd, but not 100% on that... OP has an OR, essentially...

    Oops, my mistake. I thought the spare had one too. Disregard.

    What figures did the car's computer give you for pressure? My 2020 tells me an actual reading per tire.. so it's not just a "dummy light" for us with newer models. Good luck!
