Toyota Avalon Tire Pressure Light
Toyota Avalon Tire Pressure Light service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville, FL
On a Toyota Avalon, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or the tire-pressure monitoring system may have a fault. The symbol is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville, FL, checks the Avalon’s tire pressures, sensors, valve stems and tires to distinguish a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement.
What the tire pressure light means on a Toyota Avalon
A steadily illuminated tire pressure light means one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. The light may appear after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees of temperature change. Even when the tires look fully inflated, the pressure can still require measurement against the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop. If the light flashes for about a minute at start-up and then remains lit, the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. That condition calls for a system diagnosis rather than only adding air.
What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues
The service begins with 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 to help separate low pressure from a monitoring-system concern. The tires are inspected for punctures, and the valve stems are checked for leaks. After any sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the Toyota Avalon can recognize the serviced components. This process addresses a light that appeared after a temperature drop, stayed on while the tires looked full, or flashed at start-up before remaining illuminated. Drivers can schedule service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues.
