Default TPMS with spare mounted?

Folks I had a blowout at 80mph today (car stayed planted, nobody hurt). The inner portion of the tire was shredded. The TPMS on that tire instantly read zero, all other tires reported accurately.

Anyway I mounted the spare tire and now I can't get a reading on any tire via TPMS after turning the car back on following the tire change. I get the spare wouldn't read because it doesn't have TPMS but shouldn't the other 3 still report in? I've driven about 20 miles since the spare was mounted.

Is this normal and it will revert to full functionality once I get the tire replaced and sensor back in rotation? Or should I still have reporting from the other 3 sensors?

On some cars the system completely disables until it’s fixed

NP,

Good News, it seems Everyone is Safe n Sound.

Replace that Tire, and Install a New TPMS...and Reset the Sensors that will solve the issues on your TPMS readings.

Good Luck.

Thanks! No worries I used the opportunity to buy new rims and sensors altogether so just waiting on my tires!
