1998 Trueno, reseting Tyre pressure light on dash

Postby brentm » Tue Aug 14, 2012 5:27 pm

Hello, can anyone tell me how I reset the Tyre pressure light on the dash of my 1998 Trueno, I got a flat and when the Spacesaver spare wheel was put on the Tyre pressure light came on about a 2K's down the road.
Thanks.

Don't mean the ABS light?

If it's that, drive on a straight piece of road and the light will go out.

tyre pressure light does exist it was an optional extra.

there is a sensor in each tyre including the spare.

dont quote me on this but I believe there is some sort of button underneath the drivers side dash that you press and hold and it resets the light. My work mate has it so can confirm this tomorrow.

i believe those late 90s toyota dont come with sensors in the wheels. instead they use the ABS sensors to know which tyre is flat by comparing rolling speeds of the tyres.
so as above, fit the tyres back on (same size) and it will reset itself.

If that car really does have tire pressure sensors then I have brand TP scanner to scan the sensors and transmit data into car's computer. works on many makes/models.

I had this on a Fielder of mine.
It uses the ABS sensors to measure wheel speed, and any are different by a small amount (due to low tyre pressure), it'll illuminate the light
Mine was reset by holding s small black push-in switch under the dash, drivers side, near the centre console (might have to get your head in the foot well and look, but it's easy to find). Push switch in, and turn the key to ON position, keep switch pressed until the light goes out and all will be fine
2006 Fielder S, CVT, and immaculate.....
