Check the steering wheel column, lower portion.

Yeah, I have looked under there for like 45min. No luck. Will need something more to go on.

I don't know about the 07 but the 2011 doesn't have a reset button. They have to be put in with the ID numbers from the tpms sensors with Techstream or some other tool

Thanks! - that seems about right at this point. If anyone else knows something other than "there isn't one" let me know, else I will go with a Techstream solution. (like I said, "very irritating")

Did you copy the ID numbers off of the new sensors? You will need them with Techstream.

Trust me, there isn't a reset button. That didn't come until later, like 2010 or 2011.

Well, I ended up stopping by my local Pep-Boys who reset the TPMS system in a few min for free. Toyota dealer was wanting $150.00 - All is well now.

The '06 (mine) doesn't have one and if the 2011 doesn't either I suspect there is no other answer available for an 07 than, "it doesn't have one."

BTW, where and at what cost did you have the sensors replaced?

SCHRADER 28370 From RockAuto - 43.99 ea - I purchased 5 and Discount Tire installed them with a new set of tires that were going on. One was bad for certain. Figured after 14 years they were gonna start droppin out and I was OK with just replacing them all.

I just had 5 new Denso sensors installed in my 2006 sport v6 but I didn’t make note of the numbers on them. Will that be a problem when trying to set them? How do you go about setting them?

 

[@2011rav4]

You NEED the numbers to register them with Techstream.

You NEED the numbers to register them with Techstream.

So do i need to have the tires dismounted?
When I bought them Denso said they were preprogrammed to Toyota.
"Denso TPMS Sensors are direct plug-and-play with no programming or cloning needed - they're built to the specified vehicle right out of the box. With Denso, installation is a snap - the TPMS Sensor relearns just like an OE part, restoring the vehicle to its original condition. Direct monitoring with real time pressure signal transmission. "

Call a tire place and see if they can be read without dismounting the tire. There are special receivers that can cause the sensor to transmit and read the codes (called poking it). Then there needs to be a programming device to get the numbers programmed into the TPMS module (computer) in your vehicle.... or use a techstream software program to enter the codes in. That is what most DIYers do. When you get the code numbers, write then down and put them in your glove box for future use.

Call the place who put the tires on and see if they can read the I'd numbers. I'm surprised they didn't ask you when you brought them in

 

[SurferD]

I took in the tires individually in the back of my truck. They’re all installed and I will do that.

Took it in to Town Fair Tire in Derby CT and they reset the sensors. I also had an alignment done but since there’s an open recall it didn’t go to factory settings. They have a 30 day redo policy so I’ll bring it back when the recall is done.
