Toyota RAV4 Tire Pressure Light Reset

Follow the TPMS reset procedure for 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 models.

Before You Start

Check all four tires.

The vehicle must be stationary.

The ignition must be ON, but the engine can remain off.

Adjust all tires to the cold inflation pressure listed on the driver's door jamb sticker.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. For vehicles with a Start button, press it twice without pressing the brake pedal.

Reach under the driver's side dashboard and locate the SET button with the TPMS icon.

Press and hold the SET button until the TPMS indicator light on the dashboard blinks slowly 3 times.

Check: Wait a few minutes for the initialization to complete before turning the vehicle off.

Note: If the TPMS warning light flashes for about 60 seconds and then remains illuminated, a tire pressure sensor battery may have failed.

Note: The reset button is hidden and may be difficult to see without a flashlight. It is located above the brake pedal area.

This guide covers the TPMS reset procedure for the 2006\u20132012 Toyota RAV4.

These models use a physical TPMS SET button rather than a digital reset menu.

Check the tire pressure of all four road tires and the spare tire. Inflate them to the pressure listed on the vehicle’s door jamb sticker.

The ignition must be ON before starting the reset procedure.

Inflate all four tires and the spare tire to the recommended pressure.
Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine.
Locate the small, round SET button under the steering wheel dashboard or inside the glovebox.
Press and hold the SET button until the TPMS warning light blinks slowly 3 times.
Drive the vehicle above 20 mph for several minutes.
Check that the TPMS warning light turns off.

If the TPMS light flashes for about one minute before remaining illuminated, the system may have a malfunction, such as a failed sensor battery.
