Omfg Can Someone Please Tell Me Why This Yellow Light Is On?

It's also worth noting that it may take a few minutes after you put air in the tires before the sensor turns off (and you need to drive for those few minutes at speeds higher than 25 MPH).
Just check the pressure in all four with a $0.99 Pepboys pressure guage (everyone should have one in their car). Inflate your tires to 32-34 PSI if the tires are cold (not driven on) or 30 PSI if they're warm.

not trying to flame you, and maybe I'm wrong, but
32-34psi if cold, okay i can agree with that
but if the tires are warm, the pressure in the tires should then be higher not lower, if you're inflating to 30psi while warm, once they cool, they should be
a lower PSI under 30
or i could be wrong
another wierd thing, I bought a temp gauge, and while it gives proper readings on the rear tires, it always reads lower on the front tires, very strange to me, I have compared with gas station guages and what not any ideas?

When i filled up the spare it only has the non tps valve stem but i'm assuming that there is also some kind of sensor for the spare tires.. unless i just soo got used to my 4runner having tps on my spare tire as well that i'm thinking there is a sensor for the spare... someone correct me if i'm wrong
