there is no TPMS in the spare tire.

To the OP, yes you usually have to drive about 50 miles for the computer to cycle through and realize you added air. Or you could do a hard reset (unplug the battery).

No you don't if your low on air as soon put air back in it goes off rite there. I never had to drive no 50miles. My guess is a bad tpms which one well that gonna be a guessing game. One more note I hope you didn't switch to your secondary sensor on the display setup. Cause then your tmps will light up and stay on. Read your owner manual.

go to the buttons on the left side of the steering column that look like - o - Now cycle through the menu with the - buttons until you find the option for TPMS it will say main and 2nd. Now press the O to select 2nd then press and this told hold it to select the main. Hold it for about 8 seconds or so and you should see the information center on the cluster go blank. That should reset the system and hopefully take care of your issue.
