TPMS Malfunction warning after removing the spare and kept in the garage. Driving with only four tires without the spare.

[nero]

Hello,
Yesterday, I removed my spare tire and kept it in the garage. I drove for 15 minutes and I got a warning for TPMS system malfunction.

I know many people here have upgraded their tires to 33" or 35", and the spare tire won't fit in its place on the car. So, how do you deal with this situation where you have only four tires (No spare) when you are driving, and how do you get rid of this warning?

how do you get rid of this warning?

My spare is currently the only tire with the TPMs. A warning pops up on the display and I touch the area where it is written “dismiss”. Seriously though you should carry your spare even if you have to strap it down in the cargo area. JMO.

A spare does not have to exactly match the other wheels/tires to work as a temporary spare, especially if you are not driving in locked 4WD.

Have you tried programming the 4 as a second set of wheels? Might pick up the 4 and not even care there wasn't a 5th?

I had my 35" spare under the car for a while at a ridiculous angle, but ended up putting on a Dirtcom hitch tire carrier.

Can you share which one you ordered? And how about the Camera? Did you move the Camera?

Dirtcom Trail Swing - Camera Install

Found a decent option for those of you who are mildly OCD (like me) about having the camera blocked with a rear tire carrier. Currently there is no option to tap in to the existing camera system to add a camera, and I did not want to move my factory camera. So I installed a camera, and ran it...

I have submitted a request to the Toyota service and they are working with the factory to fix it. My spare tyre was over tightened in the factory resulting in a damaged wheel (indents you can put your finger in). For now I am playing around with Carista app that resets the error.

I have a 33" spare underneath and it fits with room to spare. The tire size is LT255/80R17.
