Occasionally, you may notice the low tire pressure warning light in your 2010 Toyota Corolla, especially as the seasons change and tire pressure fluctuates. Luckily, resetting the system is easy with Toyota. Start by confirming each tire has the right pressure using a digital or analog gauge. Then, start the engine, hold down the reset button located on the lower right of the steering wheel's instrument panel, and wait for the TPMS light to flash three times slowly. After a few minutes of the engine running, once the TPMS records the pressure in each tire, you can turn off the engine again.

The process didn't work for me as the lights still remain on even after completing the steps.

To begin resetting the system, confirm that the tire pressures are accurate. Start the engine, then locate and press the reset button situated below and to the right of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Maintain pressure on the button until the tpms indicator light on the instrument panel blinks slowly three times.

Best solution: When purchasing new tires, ask the store to remove the sensors and use regular air valves instead. Take time to inspect your tires manually like your father used to do. There is no additional cost involved.

As a 36-year certified auto technician, I can tell you that I have a 2010 Corolla myself. I am quite knowledgeable about the issues regarding the TPMS light being on and flashing intermittently. The solution is actually quite straightforward when you consider the system's components. Modern cars have various control modules, which act as the brains of the operating system. There are sensors that transmit information to these modules, indicating how the system is functioning. The module is programmed to maintain all tires within the manufacturer's specified pressure range, usually found on the driver's side door jam. If the pressure is within this range, the light will stay off. If it's too high or too low, the sensors alert the module, which triggers the light on the dashboard. If the light is constantly on, it's likely due to a sensor or pressure issue. However, if the light is flashing consistently, it points to a potential problem with the computer or module. Taking your car to a shop to have the module scanned will provide the answers you need. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) identified by the scanner will pinpoint the specific issue with the TPMS light. If a DTC related to the TPMS module is present, it will probably be code C2141, indicating a problem with the computer or module.

If one of the four tire pressure sensors malfunctions, it will keep the pressure light on. I am facing this issue and have been informed that the sensors are sold in a set and need to be replaced altogether. I'm not sure if this is accurate, but what I do know is that I'm not willing to spend the money on that right now.

If the tire pressure warning light is illuminated in your car, it means that one or more tires are losing air. It's important to have your vehicle serviced promptly to address this issue. Ignoring the warning could result in the need to replace a tire, as I learned from my own experience with a similar situation on my 2010 Corolla.
