Sequoia Tire Pressure Sensor Issue

Has anyone had low tire pressure alerts on their 2002 Toyota Sequoia with a gasoline engine? I've got about 158000 kilometers on it and keep getting the error on the console, plus a stored error in the memory. Could it just be the sensor battery, or is there something else I should check?

Hey there! I've got a Sequoia too. I actually ran into something similar a while back with my tire pressure. Kept getting those annoying warnings. Did you actually CHECK the tire pressure with a gauge? Sometimes the sensors go haywire for no good reason, and you might not even HAVE a flat. What sort of pressure are the sensors reporting?

Thanks! I did check with a gauge. The readings match what the system is showing, but they're all a bit low. Even with the tires inflated, could the sensor still be the problem?

Ugh, sounds familiar. So annoying. Yeah, it's totally possible the sensor itself is bad, even if the pressure is okay after you inflate them. Those sensors don't last forever. I ended up just taking mine to a workshop. They swapped out the sensor, and the problem vanished. Honestly, probably the quickest way to deal with it. So frustrating, isn't it?

Thanks for the confirmation and sharing your experience. I'll get a technician to check the tire pressure sensor. They quoted about 280€ for the repair. Appreciate the help!
