    read the manual so I know what it means. Just curious, it might be correlated with key fob replacement? (Other than bad or dead battery) TPMS came on today after replacing the key fob battery. Checked all tires and pumped to about 35psi, and tried reset button, the light still on. Any ideas ?

    How old are the TPMS sensors/batteries in the sensors?

    If it's been 10 years or so, it could be dead or weak TPMS batteries.

    No idea, bought the car 6 years ago, 10 Prius V with low profile tires. Most likely dead batteries

    If one dies, all others are probably near EOL. Replace all four.

    Amazing how we used to get by without TPMS lol.

    In another observation, when I replaced the tires the tire shop also replaced the tpms sensors with ones I had purchased on Amazon. They were pretty cool about that, but I did spend money on tires. Amazon was amazingly cheaper than what the tire shop normally charged, and they work great. Have to make sure you get the right ones, ie, frequency, or whatever.
