Huskers 22

My low tire pressure light is on, but all my tires show they have 34 pounds of pressure. Above the 30 lbs noted for the car.

What can I do to get the warning light to go out?

Thanks,

If you have a full size spare you might check the pressure in it. If it's low the warning light will come on.

The manual is wrong. My TPM light came on this weekend and when I contacted the dealer to check the number they said that the correct pressure is 35-36 psi. I filled the tires to this level and the TPM light went off. After setting the air pressure to the correct level, if the indicator stays on, then press the TPM initialization button until the indicator blinks 3 times and the release it. The TPM initialization button is the leftmost button under the steering column.

The widely accepted correct guideline for correct tire pressure is to follow the manufacturer's label on the door jamb of the car. Since different brands of tires are used on the cars, this will reflect the correct recommended pressure for the tires on the individual car. Mine ('07) says 30 PSI front and rear.

The manual is wrong and your dealer is right Nope, don't think so. Look at the plate on the door frame by your driver's door. 30lbs is what Lexus recommends for the ES. They want a cushy ride. With that being said, I put 34lbs in my wife's ES, it came from the dealer with 40 plus. I want her to have a little better control, and at 34lbs, she likes the ride. As I said in the other thread, and you have discovered, the TPMS can be reset if the light goes off and the pressure is correct.

.

I believe only two brands of tires are used on the ES, a Michelin and a Bridgestone fitment. Pressure requirements for both are the same, and will remain the same when the tires are replaced with the like size tire that Lexus recommends, regardless of brand. You are correct about the plate as I called out above. That plate is meant for aftermarket installers to use when refilling tires either at gas stations or when installing new tires.

You said it better than I did...

Are you sure the spare has a tire pressure monitor in it? My low tire light came on and it turns out one of the sensors was bad. I had all the monitors replace and was told the spare did not have one. Now I don't know if the spare has one or doesn't.. ???

Edit: P.S. I didn't realize I was in the"ES" forum. We have an IS250. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.

For the benefit of others (despite the age of the thread), if you have a full-size spare, it has a TPMS sensor.

I just went through the scenario of having the TPMS warning illuminate, only to realize it was the spare that was down on pressure.

Some of these vehicles are old enough to have battery failures in the TPMS modules inside the tires.
