    Has anyone come across a solution to using tpms and also doing a 5 tire rotation? Right now I'm just suffering with the light being on constantly and teasing my ocd.

    Why is the light on? I have 5 matching wheels and tires with 4 TPMS Sensors in. And the spare had the 4th sensor I never get a light.

    The system may not know where everything is, but the light should be out.

    I want a 6" LED readout for my dash that monitors the spare tire pressure. I want it to flash.

    It is odd that a vehicle that ships with 5 wheels only has TPMS on 4 of them.

    Maybe the ECU only monitors/controls 5 cylinders, 5 gears, and 3 doors cuz Japan. I haven't checked. It wouldn't be the weirdest thing they do.

    Just a suggestion. (I don't know if it will work)

    Install a 5th TPMS monitor in the spare tire. When you do a rotation, leave the spare far enough away until the software initiates the 4 monitors on the ground. Then reinstall the spare.
