    All pressures are good but the light remains on. Any way to either reset it or replace it? 2012 SR5. Thanks in advance!

    All your sensors are on their way out if they are original. DT will hook you up. Replace all 4.

    That usually means that one or more of your TPMS sensors is bad.

    When the light blinks, and then stays constant, its a sign that your sensor battery is going bad. The batteries are either almost dead or already dead depending on how long the blinking has been going on.
    You cant replace the batteries, you gotta get all new tire sensors and have them reprogrammed. Its not a terrible job, good shops dont even bust the tire down. They break the bead just at the valve stem, push down on the tire next to the valve stem, slip the sensor in the gap between the wheel and tire, and tighten it down. They dont have to rebalance or anything. The walk around with a hand held scanner that picks up the new sensors signal and plug into your OBD2 port and program the ECU to see the new signal and you are back to new.

    If you need new tires soon, you may just keep an eye on pressures manually till you swap tires and then have them swap the tire sensors while they have everything apart.
