(2) Tire pressure adjustment method when warm (w/ Tire Pressure Warning System):

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Turn the Techstream on.
  5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Data List.
  6. Adjust the tire pressure so that the displayed value is equal to the set pressure.
  7. Perform initialization and check that initialization completes.

  8. Check and record the value of the Data List item "Temperature in Tire". (Ts)
  9. Check and record the ambient temperature during tire pressure adjustment. (Tm)
  10. Readjust the tire pressure according to the difference between the tire internal temperature (Ts) and the ambient temperature (Tm). (P)

    HINT:

    Tire internal temperature: Ts, Ambient temperature: Tm, Tire pressure readjustment value: P

    P = (Specified Pressure) + (Ts - Tm)

  11. Check the pressure adjustment value with the Data List item "Tire Inflation Pressure".

ID 2 Tire Inflation Pressure

ID 3 Tire Inflation Pressure

ID 4 Tire Inflation Pressure

ID 5 Tire Inflation Pressure

NOTICE:

Check the tire pressure warning system for the relationship between the inflation pressure and tire pressure warning pressure. 2019 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [11/2018 -        ]; TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING: TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM: HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING+

(b) Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

Maximum Tire Runout:

1.4 mm (0.0551 in.)

2. ROTATE TIRES

(a) Remove the wheel assembly.
