1) TPMS could be defect

2) Tire might have a nail

3) Rim might have dent and the air leak

4) Unproper install TPMS on new rim and tire

5) Go 2nd main and push button within 3 sec to see the tire light off

6) If not work, then go to dealership

no the light will stay on until the TPMS sensors detect the correct pressure of air. you will need to install tires that are TPMS compatible to make the light go away. there's also a work around if you want. that is to go make a can, pipe or bottle with pressurized air that matches the TPMS settings. that way when the tpms running off this "pipe" it'll trick the system. there's a DIY guide for you if you have aftermarket non-TPMS compatible rims. you can make a pipe out of a design (such as a fake NOS tank) and place it somewhere. or just throw the pipe in the trunk.

What air pressure did you put in the spare? If you are getting the "low tire" warning, it is seeing the sensors, but they are detecting a low air pressure condition.

Yup! My light went off as soon as I got my tire patched and pressure was back to normal.

I was also planning on placing a set of TPMS in the spare tire should my new SSR Vienna Zweels aren't compatible with them. The spare tire requires a pressure of 60 psi. That's nearly double the pressure that the sensors require in the stock wheels. Did you inflate it to 60 psi? Did you initialize the new sensors at the dealership?
