Permanent tire pressure warning on the 2007 Toyota FJCruiser
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The 2007 Toyota FJCruiser is experiencing a recurring tire pressure warning, suspected to be caused by a signal error in the tire pressure sensor. A similar issue was resolved in a 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser by replacing the tire pressure monitoring system control unit, which required a diagnostic device to identify the problem. The suggested solution is to visit a garage for a proper diagnosis and potential replacement of the control unit, which resolved the issue without further problems.

Hey, thank you so much for your helpful reply! Your experience sounds very similar to what I'm going through right now. I also suspect that the control unit is causing the problems. Interesting that it only worked properly for you after the workshop visit. Do you happen to remember how much you paid for the repair? And have you noticed any other problems or inconsistencies since the repair? I would like to know what to expect. Thanks again and best regards!

Hey, no problem, I'll be happy to help you with my experience! As for the cost, the bill for the tire pressure monitoring system control unit was €355. I know that's a tidy sum, but since then everything has been running smoothly and without any problems. And what was really reassuring was that since the mechanic got to work, there have been no further reports of the tire pressure sensor signal error. The whole problem seems to have finally been resolved, so I can now drive again with peace of mind. I hope that takes away some of your worries. Good luck and see you then!

Hey, wow, 355€ is a lot, but I guess the safety and peace of mind are worth it. It's good to hear that no further problems have cropped up since then and you can ride undisturbed. I will take your advice and adjust accordingly. One can only hope it goes just as smoothly. Your experience has really helped me to better assess the whole thing. Thanks again for your help! Best regards!

Hey, I actually went through the exact same thing with my 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser. The thing is that the tire pressure monitoring system control unit can be defective. In my case, the system was no longer detecting the tire pressures correctly, despite being set correctly. It was quite a pain in the neck, but it wasn't so serious that it posed an immediate danger to driving. The solution was finally a visit to the garage where they had to replace the control unit. They had to connect a special diagnostic device to find the problem and make sure the new sensor was working properly. I haven't had the problem since. Hope this helps and don't worry about it. It's annoying, but overall not a problem that can't be fixed. All the best!
