How do I find out exactly what it might mean?
Do I need any special tools?
It's a tire pressure warning. Don't forget to check the spare as
well.

Toyota Rav4 Tire Air Pressure Fault
This means your tire pressure is either too low, or the sensor has faulted. This requires calling or visiting your dealership as soon as possible.

I have a
Toyota that the tire pressure warning light has been on for over 5
years.
I just check the tires every so often like I did for about 40
years before the warning light. I am not going to pay about $ 75 per
tire as the battery in each of tire monitors fail. The truck will pass
the stupid state inspection with that warning light on.

Could you check the tire pressure first?
I just posted exactly what the web site said which was those three lines.
It says seeing that light requires calling or visiting the dealer.
Do you think maybe they know something we don't know.
Why else would they say what they said?
Presumably it's in the owners manual said that way.

Same here. When I take it in for service, they reset it. A short
while later, it's on again.
I also have the "check engine" light on. The Wisdom of the Internet
thinks it's benign, that I've simply had a little backfire.

We don't have a state inspection, so hooray.
There's a battery? I thought it used the tire rotation speeds and the sensors were powered by the electrical system.
My car is 18 years old. I've had it for 5, never replaced a battery,
and the tire pressure thing works.

Sounds like a better system than wife's 2016 Toyota.
I was quoted $350 to have all 4 sensors replaced. F' that.

I missed that y ou had this link. I'll look at it.
FWIW, either because it's toyota, or because it's Japanese or Asian, or because it's years later, the shop manuals for Olds, Pontiac, Buick,
and Chrysler that I owned were books that you could learn from, get to understand your car. The Toyota manual is full of tests using their own diagnostic and repair tools

few days.

I bought a car with the check engine light. I think that's why it was
so cheap, 3000 or 4000, probably 4000, but I was afraid to discuss it
with the seller.
It took me 3.5 years to fix it. But during that time I checked the
mileage and it was up to spec.
It was lean mixture. I did all the tests and replaced the simple parts
and was going to start replacing 1 or 2 02 sensors when I leaned on the
big (4") hose from the air clearner to the ... I forget the name, and
the hose came off. Nothing I could do would put it back on, becuase it
had been on crooked for so long, but after I bought a new one, I could
turn off the CEL.

My 2004 Sienna is, I think, one of the last years that they did the tire rotation thing. Then they switched to the in tire battery powered
sensors, which I think are now required.

I want to go back to my little grass shack in 1965.
A few years ago I got a scanner adapter to connect my car to my computer
and a maybe illicit copy of the Toyota techstream software for 30-50
dollars.
I just looked up techstream and found this" >https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/staticcontent/en/techinfo/html/prelogin/docs/tslproinstalltinfo.pdf
