Introduction

The 2007 model year GS 350 and GS 430 vehicles are equipped with a direct-type Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS). Each tire (including the spare tire) has a tire pressure warning valve/sensor, and the measured tire pressure data is transmitted to the Tire Pressure Warning System antenna/receiver to the Tire Pressure Warning System ECU.

During Pre-Delivery Service (PDS), the tire pressure warning valves/sensors must be activated according to the procedure in this bulletin.

    • If any other DTCs are stored, refer to the Repair Manual.
  6. Adjust all tires (including the spare tire  ) to the standard tire inflation pressure, as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label located inside the driver's door jam and confirm that the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light is OFF.
