Talking TPMS warning light turned off

I took out the TPMS from my stock wheels and installed them in the new ones. I never got a chance to throw on the new wheels due to the weather plus im waiting to get spacers.

The warning light was on for about 2 weeks, then i test fitted the front two wheels and ever since the warning light has disappeared. It has been over 12 days and still no light.

im not sure if i should be happy or did something break ?

Simple cause if you park near your new wheels it will read it. Take a 25min drive and your low tire light will be back.

I park about 200 ft from my wheels. I was all excited not having the obnoxious red light.

I would be happy if I didn't have that feature, this is the one thing that will always get in the way of doing anything with your car. Brakes, tire change, rims change, flat tire change jack up car the list goes on and on I would be happy.

Does the TPMS light come on when you start the car and then go off?
