Exclamation Satellite Switches/Buttons stopped working(TPMS Reset, Speed-limit set etc)

Hi all,

Have read through the manual and searched through the forums to figure out the issue but to no avail. I need to get into the menu that allows you to reset your TPMS settings, change the speed limit warning range etc, and as per the owner's manual (IS250 2006) I need to press either of the three satellite switches (Left Selector, Main selector, or Right selector) located to the bottom-left of the steering wheel to get into the menu.

It used to work before, but I have no idea why none of the buttons are working now. Ie. I press the buttons but nothing happens at all! Was wondering what could have happened, or if anyone has has similar issues with buttons becoming unresponsive/the fix for it.

Thanks a lot!

Were you trying to do it while driving? You have to be stopped.

Thanks for the response Jeff. I have been trying it while parked so that's definitely not the problem.

Sorry to bring back a 9 year old thread but I'm having the same issue. Did you ever fix it?

Edit:

Update. I was like **** it and took apart the side of the dash. Guess what? The ****ing wire to the satellite switch was unplugged. Plugged it back and working now. I was able to reset my low tire warning light. SMH...
