Frequently asked questions
2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Xse shown

On the Toyota RAV4 Prime, the tire pressure light—a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point—means one or more monitored tires may be 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 steadily illuminated light calls for checking the tire pressure at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on indicates a system issue, usually involving a sensor battery. Cold weather can also bring on the light because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. Proper pressure matters because an underinflated tire can wear faster and run hotter, making prompt diagnosis important.

Coggin Toyota at the Avenues in Jacksonville provides tire pressure light diagnosis for the Toyota RAV4 Prime across all model years, helping separate a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs replacement.

What the tire pressure light means on a Toyota RAV4 Prime

The tire pressure warning is shaped like a tire or horseshoe, with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, at least one monitored tire is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night, since tire pressure decreases about one psi for every ten degrees. Even when the tires appear fully inflated, the light can remain on if the actual pressure does not match the driver's door-jamb placard.

If the light flashes for about a minute when the Toyota RAV4 Prime starts and then remains illuminated, the tire pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually because a sensor battery has run down. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be checked and set at the next stop.

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 also scanned for its signal and battery status, helping identify whether the warning relates to tire pressure or the monitoring system.

The inspection includes looking for punctures and leaking valve stems. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the Toyota RAV4 Prime can correctly recognize the monitored tires. Booking the service gives the driver a complete pressure and sensor check; schedule service at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues for a tire pressure light diagnosis.

What does the tire pressure light look like and mean on a Toyota RAV4 Prime?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.

The light may appear after a drop in temperature, even when a tire looks full. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so its pressure should be checked at the next stop.

Why is the tire pressure light on when the tires look full or after a cold night?Cold temperatures can reduce tire pressure, and a tire can look full while remaining below the driver's door-jamb placard pressure.

Tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A pressure check of every monitored tire distinguishes a tire needing air or repair from another issue requiring diagnosis.

What does a flashing tire pressure light mean?A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on indicates a tire pressure monitoring system fault.

The fault is usually related to a sensor whose battery has run down. A sensor signal and battery scan can help identify the monitoring system issue.

Can a Toyota RAV4 Prime be driven with the tire pressure light on?The tire pressure should be checked and set at the next stop because an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

A steady light indicates pressure at least 25 percent below the placard in one or more monitored tires. If the light flashes at startup and then remains on, the monitoring system has a fault that calls for diagnosis.
