When your temporary spare tire is installed
When one of your road tires needs to be replaced with the temporary spare,
the TPMS system will continue to identify an issue to remind you that the
damaged road wheel/tire needs to be repaired and put back on your vehicle.
To restore the full functionality of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System,
have the damaged road wheel/tire repaired and remounted on your
vehicle. For additional information, refer to Changing tires with TPMS
in this section.
