    Will one bad sensor throw off the rest of them, so you cannot reset them after adjusting the tire pressure? And can any shop replace it or should I go to Toyota?

    The other 3 should reset but the damaged one should still trip the light. Even if the damaged one is replaced elsewhere you are going to the dealer to get it registered.

    My 2008 has been at the dealer 4 times now for a TPMS light lit. The light will go out for a few miles after coming out of the dealership and will remain lit for the longest time. All my tires are fine and dealer states that my sensors are all ok.

    Not sure what the problem is...I'm getting tired of going back and forth to the dealer.
