I know that's not how you reset but it worked.

i think we covered this before already, spare has no tpms as far as i remember

don't need to re-initialize. Once the psi is around 35 the light will turn off on it's own. And yes I agree should go and pump it up to the recommended psi when the light start to turn on/off.

common sense, once it gets cold, air pressure gets lower. lol, weird topic. guess its the first car for some that has tpms. you must have been driving on low pressure in your old cars.
Once the frost hits check pressure, same thing with spring time.
