How to Relearn Toyota TPMS | Quick Guide & Reset Tool

If you drive a Toyota, you've likely noticed the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) warning light illuminate at some point. This light signals that one or more tires may be underinflated—or that the TPMS system itself requires a reset. But what should you do after adjusting tire pressure or replacing a sensor? This is when performing a Toyota TPMS relearn becomes necessary.

In this guide, we'll cover what "TPMS relearn" means, step-by-step instructions for Toyota vehicles, and how a TPMS Reset Tool can simplify the process.

What Does "Relearn TPMS" Mean?

TPMS relearn is the procedure that syncs your Toyota's onboard computer with the tire pressure sensors installed in each wheel. This step is required whenever you:

• ·  Replace or rotate tires

• ·  Install new TPMS sensors

• ·  Switch between summer and winter tires

• ·  Make significant adjustments to tire pressure

Relearning ensures the system correctly recognizes sensor IDs and accurately reads the pressure from each tire. Skipping this step often leaves the TPMS warning light on—even if all tires are properly inflated.

How to Relearn Toyota TPMS Without a Tool

Some Toyota models support a manual TPMS relearn, though the procedure may vary by year and model. A typical process includes:

1. Check Tire Pressure

   Ensure all four tires are inflated to the recommended PSI. You can find the correct pressure on the sticker located on the driver’s side door frame.

2. Turn the Ignition ON

   Switch the ignition to the “ON” position without starting the engine.

3. Press the TPMS Reset Button

   Many Toyota vehicles feature a TPMS reset button, usually located under the steering wheel or near the glove box. Press and hold the button until the TPMS warning light blinks slowly three times.

4. Drive the Vehicle

   Drive at speeds between 25–50 mph (40–80 km/h) for 10–30 minutes. This allows the TPMS sensors to communicate with the vehicle’s ECU and complete the relearn process.

Note: Not all Toyota models support manual TPMS relearn. Some vehicles may require a professional scan tool or TPMS reset device to properly complete the procedure.

Relearning Toyota TPMS With a TPMS Reset Tool

For Toyota models that don’t support manual relearn—or if you prefer a faster, hassle-free method—the easiest solution is using a TPMS reset tool.

A device such as the EL50448 TPMS Reset Tool allows you to:

• ·  Quickly activate each TPMS sensor

• ·  Sync sensors with your Toyota’s ECU

• ·  Complete the relearn process in just a few minutes

To use, simply connect the tool according to the instructions, hold it near the tire’s valve stem, and activate it. The tool automatically relearns all sensor IDs, saving time and eliminating the need for multiple dealership visits.
