    Hello all. I have a 2006 Prius. I just replaced all four tires and tire sensors. My tire light will not turn off. I’ve followed all the steps for resetting and nothing is working. I’ve read a lot of threads and links on this matter and nothing seems to help. Has anyone else ran into this problem and was able to fix?

    You will need to program your newly replaced TPMS sensors to your vehicle's computer...

    No resetting the new tpms because they were never installed.

    You must use techstream software to install the new tpms units ID into the cars software.
    Use the search forums link up top and search

    tpms. And techstream

    hoped you used the Denso units other cheaper units are troublesome,

    Or pay a dealer or independent tire shop to do it for you.
    Call around for the best price.

    If a shop did the installation, then go back and have them program the new TPMS sensor ID codes into the car. This should have been included as part of the installation service.

    While other things can go bad, forgetting this programming step is somewhat common, and happened to me when having new tires and sensors installed on my other car just last month.
