Frequently asked questions
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE shown

On a Toyota Avalon Hybrid, the tire pressure light is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point, and a steady light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, while a light that flashes for about a minute at start-up before staying on indicates a tire pressure monitoring system fault; Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria in Peoria, AZ, checks each tire’s pressure, examines every sensor’s signal and battery status, looks for punctures or leaking valve stems, and relearns the system after tire or sensor work so the cause can be identified and addressed.

Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria helps Toyota Avalon Hybrid drivers understand the warning and arrange the appropriate tire pressure light diagnosis.

What the tire pressure light means on a Toyota Avalon Hybrid

The warning appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees.

A steady light can also remain on when a tire looks fully inflated, which is why a pressure check is useful. A light that flashes for about a minute at start-up and then remains illuminated means the monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so pressure should be set at the next stop.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria

The tire pressure light service checks the pressure of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor is scanned for its signal and battery status, helping separate a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing.

The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring system can recognize the serviced components. Drivers noticing a steady light, a light after a temperature drop, or a flashing light can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria.
