Highlander tire pressure error

Hey, I'm getting a weird tire pressure error on my 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The dash keeps saying the tire pressure is too low, and I've got an error message popping up. I checked the pressures, and they're all fine. Scanner shows a sensor fault. Could it just be a dead sensor battery after all these years and 162816 km? It's driving me nuts!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue on my Highlander. Is the warning light constant or intermittent?

It's pretty constant now, used to come and go randomly, but now the tire pressure warning is always there. Like a persistent mosquito in your ear… Annoying! Did you ever figure out what triggered yours?

Yep, pretty sure it’s the TPMS sensor battery. They usually last about 5-7 years. Time to get the tires checked in the workshop to confirm.

Thanks! Seems like you nailed it. Took it to a shop, and it was indeed a dead sensor. Replaced it for 280€ and the error is gone. Appreciate the help!
