Unique TPMS Question
Does the tpms sense the spare? My spare tire valve stem got messed up on the trail. All the tires except the spare have 35lbs and the system still kicking off a low pressure warning.
The spare is sensed, but it isn't as quick to turn on or shut off. The sensors have accelerometers in them that sense motion - doesn't need to be rotational motion.
TPMS stems are expensive and generally cannot be repaired, only replaced. I had mine banded inside the wheel to solve the problem for good. Here's the tale of my journey to banding the sensors:

Thanks for the answer. After the trail where I broke the stem it didnt come on then 3 days later it kicked on, so I wasnt sure what was happening. I just got new rims and the tire shop said they can band the sensor in the rim so I can go with a rubber stem.
