I have a 2005 Scion TC (manual) and I was wondering if anyone on here knows where the tire pressure sensor is located. I have been told that it is either in the valve stem or embeded in the ABS Braking system.

ANYONE KNOW???
Thanks,
Iskor12

Well if the light came on you can reset the panel light visa the glove box.
To turn it off, turn the car on and hold the switch/button down for 3-5 seconds.
The tire pressure sensor is located inside the valve steam, so if you swap tires, you'll need to keep the vavle stem and rim (if that's what you'r doing)

What ever you do doin't breake one of them, they are a bit costly.
Hope that helped.

that's my problem. I had one of my tires changed at Firestone and they replaced my Valve stem even when I told them not to. They said that there wasn't a sensor in it. I don't believe them.

Also...they wouldn't give the valve stem back to me when I asked for it. They said that they threw it in a pile of them and it would be impossible to tell which one was mine. Bastards

From Brake & Front End: The Complete Undercar Service Magazine - TPMS: What a...:

"According to a Toyota technical service bulletin issued late last year, the company has direct-type TPMSs on 11 models: the 2004-2007 4Runner; 2005-2006 Tundra; 2005-2007 Sequoia; 2006-2007 Land Cruiser, Prius, RAV4, and Tacoma; and the 2007 Avalon, Camry, Solara and Scion tC.

In addition, Buner said that five other models use an indirect system: the 2001-2005 Sienna, the 2004-2007 Highlander, 2004-2005 Solara and RAV4 and the 2005 Scion tC."

So that says indirect system, which means the sensing ability is embedded in the ABS system, and that in the 07 tc they went to a direct sensor in the valve stem. The article also talks about how the system has to be reset or recalibrated every time a tire comes off of the car with either type of sensor.

Hey thanks for the information. I swear I looked everywhere but I wasn't able to find any information.

So mine is actually in the ABS system. Hmm. Well then in that case it's not working anymore since I replaced my tire. My PSI was @ 24psi supposed to be at 32psi. It normally trips at 28PSI.
