Did you check for TPMS recalls for your specific make/model? I had this problem with my 09 Mazda6 and found out that there was a recall issued a few years ago. The local dealership took care of it for me, problem solved! Just a thought.. Good luck!

I just came across this answer to a related question: "With ignition off, adjust all 5 tires to correct pressure when cold. Turn ignition on, but do not start. Open glove box, and to the left of the glove box, hidden down under a little lip, is a reset button. Press and hold the button until the TPMS light blinks slowly 3 times. Release reset button and turn ignition off. Start engine and drive vehicle until light goes out. This procedure may have to be followed whenever tires are rotated."

No, no. Under the steering wheel. There is a button, facing down, with the symbol that looks like a horseshoe and has 'SET' on it, meaning re-set. Go to the link I will put in the next window and see Page 20 There are no re-calls for this either

I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla. The problem started when I started to rotate my new tires. I would drive on the highway for a couple of hundred miles and the tire pressure alarm would come on. It would stay on for awhile and then go off only to come back on. It would never come on during city driving, only at highway speeds. Let the tires sit until they are cold. I let the air out until the pressure in all four tires was at 29 psi. Turn the ignition switch on but do not start the engine. At the bottom of the steering column, there is a button called the tire pressure reset (location differs depending upon the model year) hold it on until the tire pressure warning light comes on and blinks three times, and then goes out. Then just let everything sit for five minutes with the ignition switch on. Now drive the car for at least 45 minutes at a speed greater than 20 mph. Just use city streets and don't get radical. Driving at 35-45 mph is fine. Now fill the tires with the correct amount of air. I normally use 35 psi in each tire. The whole procedure is a royal pain in the ass that has to be done every time you buy new tires, change tire or wheel size, or rotate your tires. You heard right----------every time you rotate the tires. My problem went away for good. The real problem is that none of this is in my owners manual. I had to go on line and search for the information. Hope this helps.

The button is on the bottom edge next to the center console below the steering wheel but next to the console where the aux radio plug in jack is.

I have seen about eight different answers for the same question. Now all of them can't be right, so go to either a mechanic or a Toyota dealer to have it checked out, and not on a site where people seem to make up answers to questions that I wonder if they know anything about.
