    Introduction

    The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a procedure to adjust tire pressure correctly when outside
    temperature is significantly colder or warmer than shop temperature.
    Seasonal temperature change can dramatically alter tire pressure, which can cause the tire pressure
    warning lamp to illuminate.

    NOTE
    This bulletin applies to some 2004 – 2007 model year Toyota vehicles with direct TPWS and all
    2008 and newer model year Toyota vehicles.

    Tire Inflation Pressure Compensation and Adjustment

    Tire Pressure vs. Tire Temperature

    Tire temperature is dependent on “cold” tire pressure, driving distance and speed, ambient
    temperature and road surface temperature. As the temperature of the tire changes, air in the tire
    expands and contracts, changing the tire’s air pressure. The cold tire pressure for all Toyota models
    will vary and will need to be adjusted accordingly.
    “Cold” tire pressure, as shown on the tire pressure label on our vehicles, is generally considered to
    be the pressure in a tire that has not been driven in the past 4 hours and has been parked outdoors.
    The TPWS MUST be initialized with the tire pressure marked on the vehicle placard. Tires are
    then adjusted according to the information in this bulletin to ensure that the TPWS light does not
    illuminate unnecessarily.

    Tire Inflation Pressure Compensation and Adjustment

    Tire Pressure Adjustment (Continued)

    Recommended Tire Pressure Adjustment:

    NOTE
    Use a high quality accurate tire pressure gauge, and check its accuracy regularly.

    • Consider the difference of the air temperature in the workshop and the lowest ambient
    temperature that may be expected in the next few weeks (especially in winter).
    • Use the chart (Figure 1) to compensate for temperature of the tires when adjusting tire pressure.
    • Use temperature compensation Example 1 for the spare tire.

    Example 1: Temperature Compensation – “Cold” Tires

    • The vehicle has been parked overnight outside shop (vehicle has “cold” tires) and tire pressures
    are set to 31.9 psi.
    • Workshop temperature is 68◦F (20◦C), and expected lowest ambient temperature in the local
    area is to be 14◦F (–10◦C).
    • Subtract the expected lowest temperature (14◦F [–10◦C]) from the highest expected temperature
    (68◦F [20◦C]) = 54◦F (12◦C).
    • Using the tire pressure chart (Figure 1), find the intersection of the cold tire line at the point
    corresponding to 54◦F (12◦C), and read off the value on the tire pressure change axis. In this
    case it would be about 4.9 psi.
    • The tires should be filled to:
    31.9 + 4.9 psi = 36.8 psi

    Example 2: Temperature Compensation – “Warm” Tires

    • The vehicle has been driven to the shop on surface streets for about 30 minutes (vehicle has
    “warm” tires) and tire pressures are set to 31.9 psi.
    • Workshop temperature is 68◦F (20◦C) and expected lowest ambient temperature in your area is
    to be 14◦F (–10◦C).
    • Subtract the expected lowest temperature (14◦F [–10◦C]) from the highest expected temperature
    (68◦F [20◦C]) = 54◦F (12◦C).
    • Using the Tire Pressure Chart (Figure 1), find the intersection of the warm tire line at the point
    corresponding to 54◦F (12◦C) and read off the value on the tire pressure change axis. In this
    case it would be about 6.7 psi.
    • The tires should be filled to:
    31.9 + 6.7 psi = 38.6 psi

    Tire Inflation Pressure Compensation and Adjustment

    Example 3: Temperature Compensation – “Hot” Tires

    • The vehicle has been driven to the shop on the highway for at least 60 minutes (vehicle has
    “hot” tires) and tire pressures are set to 31.9 psi.
    • Workshop temperature is 68◦F (20◦C), and the expected lowest ambient temperature in the
    area is expected to be 14◦F (–10◦C).
    • Subtract the expected lowest temperature (14◦F [–10◦C]) from the highest expected temperature
    (68◦F [20◦C]) = 54◦F (12◦C).
    • Using the tire pressure chart (Figure 1), find the intersection of the hot tire line at the point
    corresponding to 54◦F (12◦C), and read off the value on the tire pressure change axis. In this
    case it would be about 9.0 psi.
    • The tires should be filled to:
    31.9 + 9.0 psi = 40.9 psi
