2004 Toyota 4 Runner

2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT BLINKS MEANING THE SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES AND ALL THEY SEEM TO DO IS CHECK THE SPARE TIRE AND RESET THE WARNING LIGHT AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC. AFTER 1 DAY THE WARNING LIGHT COMES BACK ON. ON ANOTHER TOYOTA 4RUNNER I TEST DROVE I NOTICED THE SAME BLINKING TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT.

RELATES TO A 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND THE LIGHT BLINKS INDICATING LOW PRESSURE IN THE TIRES (BLINKING OF THE LIGHT PER THE PROVIDED MANUAL IS INDICATIVE OF LOW PRESSURE IN TIRES). TOYOTA AND ITS DEALERS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND UNABLE TO OFFER A FIX. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE DEALER SHOP NOW TWICE AND INVOLVED REGIONAL TOYOTA TECHNICAL SUPPORT WITH NO RESOLUTION. EACH TIME THE SENSOR IS RESET, THE LIGHT TRIGGERS ON AFTER A FEW DAYS. LIKELY A FAILURE OF THE EITHER THE TIRE SENSOR OR THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. BY ADMISSION OF THE DEALER MULTIPLE VEHICLES HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE FAILURE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR SYSTEM TENDS TO OCCUR EACH TIME AFTER DRIVING CONDITIONS THAT INVOLVE HIGHER (LEGAL) SPEEDS AND AFTER CONTINUOUS DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES ON HIGHWAYS. *NM

LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. USUALLY OCCURS AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR OR MORE. DEALER REPORTS THAT NO TIRE PROBLEMS FOUND AND RESETS INDICATOR. INDICATOR MUST BE RESET BY DEALER, OR IT WILL CONTINUE ITS ANNOYING BLINKING.*AK

SIDE BLOW OUT IN A BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T 687 P225/70 R16 TIRE AT 9:50AM. UPON BACKTRACKING DOWN YORK ROAD, NO "CHUCK" HOLES WERE FOUND OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE 4 LANE ROAD. SANDY WAS TRAVELING SOUTH DOWN YORK ROAD IN PARMA OHIO, ABOUT 1,000 FEET FROM PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD WHEN THE TIRE BLEW OUT. NOTE: YOUR WEB SITE DID NOT HAVE A HIGHLANDER AS THE TOYOTA (SO, I ENTER 4-RUNNER). MY CAR IS A TOYOTA. ALSO, THIS WEB SITE DIDN'T HAVE THE EXACT TIRE TO SELECT FROM, SO PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION HERE.*AK
