TPMS Help

i just bought a 2016 SR Regular Cab. I installed a lift on it and have some Fuel Beast 20 x 9 rims with 35 x 12.5 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T's. With the lift I can no longer run my stock wheels and tires due to back spacing. I removed the spare tire and now I have a TPMS light flashing. Tried to reset it by turning the truck on and holding the TPMS reset button. However, it never really flashed slow 3 times as expected and go off? Any help is appreciated, I guess I'm asking can I clear it without a spare mounted in the truck?

 

Oh boy I sold all 5 original tires and rims...

 

Did you have new sensors installed in your new wheels, and their ID codes programmed into the truck?

I don't think your spare tire had anything to do with it, your truck should be a four sensor system. Were you parking near the stock wheels / tires up until you removed the spare and sold them all?

 

Speaking of sensors. Dash TPMS light has been on since I bought truck. Previous owner said one was bad. How do I know which one to replace? Thanks. D

 

Any decent tire shop will have a tool that will activate and read the sensor signal from outside the tire. Any that don't respond and transmit are faulty.

 

If you have one sensor I'm sure a tech can clear the code, like others mentioned...do you have new sensors in New wheels?

For others with this issue, I recall guys on tacomaworld, making 3" ABS or PVC tube, with one glued end cap and one threaded end cap, and a hole drilled for a tire fill valve to be installed into the pipe, then they'd put all the sensors in the pipe, close it up, pump the pressure up to 30 or 40 PSI and store it somewhere in the truck. Bam, tpms light goes off. Cool idea.

 

Thanks for the response, I have new sensors installed, I will try the tire shop and see if they can help me out. Should I have gotten the codes given to me from Rimzone when I bought them?
