SPARE TIRE TPM

Anyone know if you install a swing out bumper and dismount the spare under truck will the TPM sensor light come on display flash warning?

 

There is no TPM on the spare

 

The TPMS receiver is in the cab roof and there is no TPMS capability for the spare, so you're good to go.

 

You sure about that my 07 had one.

 

The best that you are gonna do for stock setup is to flip the wheel for easier pressure checks.

 

The TPMS can only monitor 4 at a time? So I'm confused if you did in fact have one from factory on your 07?

 

So i should add TPM to spare if i want to rotate it on or off the truck.

 

When i had my 07 the service manager at Toyota told me my spare had low air pressure thats why my light was on.

 

The system cannot accommodate a 5th receiver. You would have to swap stems to rotate it in or have a 5th receiver installed and code it when you swap it in. The Carista app now has TPMS programming as long as you have the ID numbers.

The TPMS on the truck knows where each sensor is, so you don't have to worry about the specific location.

I half wonder if the location determining plus the non-replaceable batteries have something to do with it. I sort of feel that the senors are kinetically recharged and selectively transmit to do all that.

 

Maybe someone can chime in if I'm wrong but my understanding is that the monitor system can only read 4 tires at a time. So if you put a TPM on the spare then move it to your hub, you'll need to recalibrate the TPM system to read the new TPM on the spare.

 

Thanks did not know that Carista had that option.

 

2007 did have 5 tpms, your 2016 only has 4. Your spare does not have a tpms.

Past that, having a wheel with tpms on the swingout is close enough to the vehicle to where it won't throw a low pressure indicator on the dash.

 

My 2011 had one on the spare, too.

 

Are you running a swing out with spare?

 

Nope, but familiar with them and have friends with them.

 

So can i have all 5 programmed at once? That way i can rotate in the spare.

 

You just need to get the one going to the spare location replaced with the one on the spare.

Here's a screen dump:

Yep! Cool tool, except for the whole subscription thing. I'd certainly pay a price to have a full license. $40/yr is a bit nutty.

 

No. Just four. The fifth can be on a wheel, but you need to swap the ID.

 

You can rotate in the spare, but there's no TPMS sensor currently in the spare. Your truck can only be connected to 4 sensors at a time, so while you could put a 5th sensor in the spare your truck won't read it unless you had a tire shop re-program your sensors at every rotation.

 

That sucks!
