Toyota RAV4 EV Tire Pressure Light service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville, FL

Frequently asked questions
2013 Toyota RAV4 EV Ev shown

On a Toyota RAV4 EV, 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 on the driver's-door placard when lit steadily, while a flashing light for about a minute at start-up before staying on signals a monitoring-system fault. Cold temperatures can bring the light on because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. Underinflation can increase tire wear and heat, so pressure should be set at the next stop. For Toyota RAV4 EV model years, Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville, FL, checks both tire pressure and the tire pressure monitoring system.

Located at 11340 Philips Hwy in Jacksonville, Coggin Toyota at the Avenues provides tire pressure light diagnosis for the Toyota RAV4 EV SUV and helps identify whether the concern involves a tire or a sensor.

What the tire pressure light means on a Toyota RAV4 EV

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily lit, one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's-door placard. This can happen after a cold night, since pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A tire that looks full can still need measurement against the placard pressure. When the light flashes for about a minute at start-up and then remains illuminated, the tire pressure 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. A flashing-then-steady light should be checked to distinguish a sensor concern from a tire needing air or repair.

What the diagnosis covers at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues

The diagnosis 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 determine whether the system is reporting correctly. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, which can explain a pressure loss even when the tire appears inflated. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the serviced components. This process separates a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs replacing. Drivers noticing the light after a temperature drop, despite fully inflated-looking tires, or after a flashing start-up warning can schedule service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 common questions answered

What does the tire pressure light look like and mean on a Toyota RAV4 EV?It looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point and means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below placard pressure when steadily lit.

The placard is located on the driver's door jamb. Underinflation can make a tire wear faster and run hotter, so pressure should be set at the next stop.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full or after a cold night?Cold temperatures can lower tire pressure, and a tire can need measurement even when it appears fully inflated.

Pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A pressure check against the driver's-door placard distinguishes a tire needing air from another system concern.

What does a flashing tire pressure light mean?A light that flashes for about a minute at start-up and then stays on means the monitoring system has a fault, usually from a sensor battery that has run down.

A scan checks each sensor's signal and battery status. The visit can also identify punctures or leaking valve stems and relearn the system after tire or sensor work.

Can a Toyota RAV4 EV be driven with the tire pressure light on?With a steadily lit light, tire pressure should be set at the next stop because underinflation causes faster wear and more heat.

A flashing-then-steady light indicates a monitoring-system fault that needs diagnosis. Coggin Toyota at the Avenues can check every tire and sensor to separate a pressure or tire concern from a sensor concern.
