Default Need some help with TPMS

Hi guys,

Today I was driving and I suspected that one side of my tires probably need some air because it kind of leans to one side when driving. So I was switching the display and I noticed that my tire pressure monitor screen is gone. I can't seem to remember since when the monitor screen has been gone, but there are a few things that I could think of that may have caused this. I just recently changed my brakes which led to taking off the wheels and I also just installed a new battery..

THanks for helping out!!

Which button are you pressing? The display button on the steering wheel or the button on the left hand side of the steering wheel. To get to the TPMS screen you have to press the round button on the left hand side of the steering wheel, and there should be a left and right button to toggle modes.

I vaugly remember that when I press the display button, one of the screen shows the tire pressure of all four tires. However, when I stopped by the lexus dealer today, they told me there was never this function...

have I been dreaming all this time...?

ˆˆprobably, but yah theres no screen or function that tells you what exact pressure your tires are at. only thing the tpms does is tell you when the tire pressure gets below a safe level.
