How to Check Your Car’s Tire Pressure Using the Toyota App

As any vehicle owner will quickly admit, the list of things you need to do to properly maintain your car, truck, or SUV can sometimes seem overwhelming. But most can also agree that the peace of mind you gain from doing so likely far outweighs all the extra time, money, and effort. After all, in many parts of the world, people’s livelihoods depend on a functioning vehicle.

There are several tools that can help ensure your vehicle is in optimal working order from day to day, and if your car is a Toyota, you can track its overall health using a handy app. Yes, Toyota has developed an easy-to-use app that can help you do everything from charting your vehicle’s mileage and fuel consumption to scheduling and tracking various maintenance visits.

The app can also be configured to track any vehicle alerts or recall notifications, and even let you know if the doors are closed or the windows are up. Basically, it can help you track everything the vehicle itself tracks, using a variety of sensor-powered features like the tire pressure monitoring system. And yes, if you don’t want to use a handy tire pressure gauge for that, the app can even track that. Here’s how you can check your Toyota’s tire pressure using the manufacturer’s app.

Checking tire pressure with the Toyota app

If you want to start using an app to track your car’s health, it goes without saying that you’ll need to be driving a Toyota-made vehicle. You’ll also need to set up an account with Toyota, as the company will log your vehicle’s make and model, as well as its VIN number, to ensure the app is sending accurate data. As for how it does this, the app is designed to communicate with your vehicle’s on-board computer via Bluetooth and gather any data you’re looking for. If you’re specifically looking to monitor your tire pressure, here are some steps to check it using the Toyota app.

Download the Toyota app from the App Store or Google Play.
Open the Toyota app on your smartphone or tablet and log in to your account.
Select your vehicle from the vehicles registered to you.
Click the Service button at the bottom of the screen.
Scroll down to Tire Center, then select Tire Maintenance.
On the Tire Maintenance page you can check the current PSI pressure for each tire on your car.

In addition to providing your car’s current tire pressure, you can also find information such as tire size, recommended pressure, and tread condition. If you notice that your tire pressure is too low, adjust it to the recommended levels as soon as possible. If the problem persists, consider consulting a car professional who can help diagnose and fix the problem.
