    Hey guys, TPMS light came on a week ago. Put 32PSI in each tire, drove it for 50 miles, light was still on. Put 35 in each tire, drove it another 50 highway miles to no avail.
    Looked this up on the net:
    “To reset the TPMS in the 2015 Toyota 4Runner You'll need to first make sure the tire pressure for each tire is correct. The suggested pressure for both the front and rear tires is 32 psi. Next, turn on the engine. Press and hold the reset button which is located on the lower right hand side of the instrument panel just to the right of the steering wheel. Continuing holding the button until You see the TPMS indicator light blink 3 times. The system will then record the tire pressure from each tire. Allow for several minutes to complete the process. Confirm that the reset work by turning off the ignition then starting the engine again.”

    problem is I do not see a reset button on either (lower) side of the steering wheel like my Tundra has.
    Do I need to take it to the dealer to reset?

    The "reset" is pressing and holding the odometer button on the dash. It is the same as resetting your Maint Reqrd light when it comes on.
    They say steering wheel, but mean instrument cluster.

    I believe the Limited has a TPMS sensor in the spare. I could be wrong but Toyota is weird about these things.

    Don't know if this will help, but I remember seeing a video that mentions to make sure you check your spare tire as well, since that may also have a TPMS sensor.

    Limiteds do have a sensor in the spare.

    Thank you Sir! Yes, it was the darn spare. I put air in it and within seconds, the yellow light went off.
