Re: Does removing spare trigger Tire Pressure Monitoring System TPMS light?

This is all very interesting since I too just removed my spare to replace it with my 35x12.5x18 spare. I did not remove the TPMS sensor in the spare and install it on my new rim...and...YES...my sensor light has been on steadily since I removed the factory spare...hmmm!

I would guess (obviously) that the system works based on the tires proximity to an installed receiver. Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the system to extinguish the annoying light on the dash??
