Default TPMS Warning Light

Just a little PSA, if your TPMS light shows up, and all the tires (including the spare) are at the proper psi, check the button below the glove box. As long as the warning light is solid, its likely someone pushed the button. I almost paid $120 in diagnostic fee and $150 for a new sensor at the dealer because for some reason, no one knew about this button, or didn't want to tell me.

Spare tire? Hmm.

My spare tire was at 14lbs. when I brought the car home. They're supposed to be at 60lbs (space saver). I had no warning light.

Hmm.

^I'm not quite sure if the GS spare has a sensor, but I would assume so as our ES and RX both had sensors in the spare. i could be wrong though. If nothing else, itll save you from a bad time if/when you get a flat.

Yes, spare tire has one too.

Also, don't EVER Go to the dealer for a TPMS diagnostic. They can stick that $120 fee up their butts. Discount does a free scan for you and you can get all 4 replaced for about $60 each! Much better than $600 for 4 at stealership.

I replaced mine when I got my new set of tires and they programmed it with no problem.

My donut spare doesn't have the TPMS sensor.
