Default guys please help! (tpms light on)

so in order to make the tpms light go off, do i just put all sensors in the spare tires and add 35 psi to the spare? or there is something else i need to do? guys pls help me out, first year with the IS, just put on winter wheels that the tpms cannot be used.

no, your IS allows 2 sets of tpms sensors to be registered simultaneously. just buy another set of sensors. If the wheels wont accept them, then just get a pvc pipe, get 2 rubber end caps, put a tire valve through one of them, spray hairspray on the ends of the pipe right before you put the caps down. Clamp the covers on, and just pressurize that (with sensors inside obviously)

a adapter from iforge for $45 works and you can switch rims any time you want with out issues that what i did. cause in the winter my stock tire drops 5psi sometime and with the sensor least i know when to air up. but what kinda winter wheels you using that it wont work? cause if it a one piece rim it should. and i use the adapter on my 19 tho

I know the adapter works man, but I have another set of tmps on my summer wheels, in the winter I just want the light off, so I just wanna put them all in the spare tire, just wanna confirm that works, anyone?

it renders the spare useless. better off installing them into the winter wheels but make sure the sensors are programmed to the car first.
