Frequently asked questions
2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE shown

On a Toyota Avalon Hybrid, the tire pressure light—a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point—means one or more monitored tires are 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. A steady light calls for the tire pressure to be set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains on points to a monitoring-system issue requiring diagnosis. Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville, FL, checks the tires and sensors so the cause can be identified accurately.

For Toyota Avalon Hybrid drivers in Jacksonville, Coggin Toyota at the Avenues provides tire pressure light diagnosis and related service for all model years.

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 on the driver’s door jamb. 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 the tires look fully inflated, making a pressure and sensor check important. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays lit, the tire-pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor battery that has run down. The pressure should be set at the next stop, since an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

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 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 any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring system can recognize the serviced components. This process addresses the light whether it appeared after a temperature drop, stayed on while the tires looked full, or flashed at startup. Drivers can schedule service with Coggin Toyota at the Avenues for a complete check.
