Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPMS)

Last updated: June 5, 2026

If the tyre-pressure warning on your Toyota Corolla Mk12 (E210, 2019–present) has come on — after adjusting pressures, rotating the wheels, or fitting winter tyres — the system needs to be told the current pressures are correct. The Corolla uses a direct TPMS with a sensor in each wheel, and the reset registers the new pressures as its baseline. This guide shows both reset methods.

How the Corolla’s TPMS Works

Each wheel has a pressure sensor in the valve that radios its reading to the car. After you change the pressures you set a new reference so the system knows what “correct” now is and warns only if a tyre drops below it.

How to Reset the Corolla Mk12 TPMS

Set all four tyres to the correct pressure (cold) first — the figures are on the label in the driver’s door jamb — then:

Cars with the multi-information display

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Use the steering-wheel controls to open the menu and select ‘Tyre pressure monitor’.
3. Select ‘Set pressure’ and press and hold ‘OK’ until it confirms the new pressures are registered.

Cars without the multi-information display

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press and hold the ‘SET’ button (usually under the dashboard, by the steering column) until the TPMS light blinks to confirm it has registered the current pressures.

If the Warning Stays On

• Re-check every tyre, including the spare if your Corolla carries a monitored full-size one.
• One tyre keeps dropping — look for a slow puncture; the system is doing its job.
• The light flashes at start-up and stays flashing — that points to a sensor fault (dead sensor battery, or a sensor not matched after a wheel change) and needs a tyre shop’s relearn tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Corolla TPMS need a tool to reset?

Not for a normal reset — set the pressures, then hold the SET button or use the menu. A relearn tool is only needed if sensors were replaced or swapped.

Where is the SET button?

On cars without the menu, it’s usually a small button under the dashboard near the steering column. Cars with the multi-information display use the menu instead.

Why did the light come on in cold weather?

Pressure drops as temperature falls. Top the tyres back to the door-label figure and reset.

The light keeps flashing — is that low pressure?

A persistent flash usually means a sensor fault rather than low pressure — have the sensors checked.
