Toyota Service :

Hello. Welcome to Just Answer. Please allow me to assist you by discussing your request in detail. Thanks.

Toyota Service :

Good Morning.

Toyota Service :

I have a question for you before we proceed

Toyota Service :

On your RAV, I need to know what tells the flat tire light to come on. There are two different methods.

Toyota Service :

Dlo you have silver metallic valve stems on the rims, or black rubber?

Toyota Service :

Please enter your responses in the text box at the bottom of your screen. Thanks

Toyota Service :

Hello..are your there?

Toyota Service :

I see that you may be having trouble with the interface.

Toyota Service :

"Normal" tyres can be substituted for Run Flat tires at any time

Toyota Service :

The flat tyre light is activated via a sensor located in the bottoms of each of the valve stems.

Toyota Service :

If the vehicle has silber coloured, metal valve stems, and the light is on with proper tyre inflation, one or more of the sensors may have an internal problem. To determine if the tyre pressure sensors have an internal problem, the vehicle needs to be taken to a dealer who has the proper test device for the tire pressure sensors.

Toyota Service :

oooops typo. Apologies

Toyota Service :

silver not silber

Toyota Service :

If the vehicle has rubber valve stems, follow the procedure in the owner'sanual to reset the tyre light after fitting the tires of your choice.

Toyota Service :

Do you have any questions on my input? Thanks

Toyota Service :

To answer your question in detail: Yes you can change all 4 tires and/or the wheels. The light will not go off if you have a bad tyre pressure sensor locate inside the wheels

Toyota Service :

I see that you have just gone offline. If you have any questions, please respond via the text box at the bottom of your screen.
