Spare tire doesn't have TPMS.

Lots of misinformation in this thread. The "Check system" indication has nothing to do with tire pressure. (It says "Low Tire" when that happens.) It means that the system isn't communicating with the sensors. In most cases, it is because someone was playing with the controls to the left of the steering column and accidentally selected the alternate set of sensors. If not that, it's probably a bad sensor. The non-replaceable lithium batteries in them usually last around 10 years, but it's not at all unusual for them to fail earlier.

I think that a sensor is bad.

I think it was because when I got my rims powder coated they got broken in the process of the rim being taken off. Also I did not have my spare tire in my trunk for about 3 months and put it back in but the light stayed. I had gone to the lexus dealiership and they I guess reset it and the lights went away for about 100 miles then came back on after going on the brakes slightly hard.
