Toyota 86 Tire Pressure Light service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville, FL

Frequently asked questions
2020 Toyota 86 shown

The tire pressure light on the Toyota 86 means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steady light calls for tire pressure to be set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains lit points to a monitoring-system fault. Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville, FL, checks both the tires and their pressure sensors so the cause can be identified accurately across Toyota 86 model years.

Coggin Toyota at the Avenues provides Tire Pressure Light diagnosis for Toyota 86 drivers at 11340 Philips Hwy, Jacksonville, FL 32256.

What the tire pressure light means on a Toyota 86

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure listed on the driver’s door-jamb placard. The light may appear after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A tire can also look fully inflated while the warning remains on. The pressure should be set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on, the tire pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues

The Tire Pressure Light service includes a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor’s signal and battery status are scanned, while the tires are inspected for punctures and leaking valve stems. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so its monitoring operation can be checked. This process separates a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. Drivers who notice a steady warning, a warning after a temperature drop, or a flashing light can schedule service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues.
