Re: tire pressure monitor sensor
I work at a toyota dealership...
how you reset them is to correct the tire pressures to the manufacturers specs. If that doesnt work, then the sensor is most likely damaged or faulty, in which you would have to bring to the dealership for us to reprogram the new sensor with a scan tool. I know its a pain in the ass, if youve had some tires put on at a shop that doesnt know what theyre dealing with they can very easily damage that sensor. And how it works, it actually sends a radio signal to the tire pressure unit telling the pressure on (on a 4runner) all 5 tires.
hope I helped you out a little bit.

Re: tire pressure monitor sensor
I work at a Honda dealership and we are having similar problems with the newer Pilots that are equipped with TPMS....it is possible that the extremes in the temperature at this time are causing the light to come on...just some more insight...
