Default HELP please: Anyone know how ro reset "LOW TIRE" warning???

Have a 06 gs430 with 20" wheels on it. I never switched over the factory sensors onto the new wheels but never had a problem until now.


I keep the stock wheels nearby my car in the garage where I park so never had a problem before. A warning went off a couple times but never took more than a couple minutes for it to go away.

Just got this "LOW TIRE" warning never seen it before. So I thought if I put a factory wheel beside each tire to reset itself that would work but.... NOTHING changed.


Anyone got any ideas how to reset this? Oh I went to the dealer and they told me to put my stock wheels back or switch the sensors back. I thought this would suffice, but I guess not...

Someone help me out please

seeing that warning is getting really annoying


* I also tried holding down the reset button , but that didnt do anything.
DO u guys think I could of messed up a sensor somehow, myh front wheels scraped the **** ouuta the fender wheels

hmmm don't know if so, but it it goes off and on, maybe try nitrogen.... that doesnt flucuate as much as oxygen.

Did you check the tire pressures of the tires on the stock wheels sitting in the garage?

You also may want to try pushing the button that is below the dash on the passenger side. It is a button that switches between stock and aftermarket wheels. It's all in the manual. I had a low tire warning light come on and resetting wouldn't cure the problem. For some reason the other button was pushed in when it should have been out. Try it and see what happens.

I had same problem. Had to bring it back for service to fix it TWICE. Problem may be with sensors or transmitters. My reset button didn't work either.
