How to store spare tire

the parts & labor
both vary by location, (unstated)
so?
wild guessing, no photos posted of damage, etc.

i can't post exact link because this silly forum , thinks links
are NON English.
search "spare" at toyota parts store. online.

this part is $99 USA, (random store)
and labor would be $100 at a stealership. with 100/hr rate
and 1hr. min rules.
in a mom and pop shop , maybe $25.
asking prices is useless,
why not get quotes from your locals.
online, , you might get quotes from Viet nam
or who knows? all useless info.

Check your tire pressure & spare tire

If the light is still on -- read your owners manual
under TPMS & then go to a tire store

You may have a bad wheel sensor

buy another lug wrench...local auto store....

Hi, the spare tire is stored on the underside of the vehicle, under the right-side cargo door. The bolt is located in a recessed area that is protected by a small square plastic covering. To remove the spare tire, find and remove the bolt cover, then use your lug nut wrench to loosen the bolt holding the tire.
Remove the spare tire fastener's plastic cover, place the lug nut wrench onto the lug nut holding the tire onto the bolt, turn the wrench in a counter-clockwise direction until the tire is released and reaches the ground.

Go to a tire store & have the TPMS System Reset

Check your spare for air also

Typically in larger sized passenger vehicles the spare will be stored in a bay underneath the rear of the vehicle. The spare is stored suspended above the road by a winchlike mechanism that requires the use of a long rod with an eye hook on one end. The rod should be stored with the jack kit in the rear of the vehicle. and the mechanism acessed with the rod through a small hole usually in the recess around the rear license plate frame.

Hope it helps,

Your spare tire is located underneath the rear of the vehicle and must be cranked down to remove using the long bar that should be mounted in the back on the inside of the van.

Put on the spare tire and see if that helps. If it does, go to the tire store and use your hazard coverage for them to check your rim for being bent or your tire from having a bruised belt. The rim is your responsibility, the tire is the tire stores. An 04 should have spare rims in Salvage yards. You can go online for those if need be.

your post was cut short, but cable that holds the spare in place is what I think u were asking, and that would be what u call it, 'the cable that secures the spare tire, or lowers the spare tire'

The spare is held in place by a cable that is cranked up and down with a tool that is stored with the jack, the access hole for the tool to crank the spare down is in the rear bumper in most trucks, look underneath to see it and be sure.
