That's what I'm hoping for. I meant to bleed off the extra pounds last night but forgot. I did start her up this morning. Alas, completely cold, the light was flashing. It could be just because it hasn't reset yet.

I'll definitely drop the pressure when I get home from work and take it from there. Hopefully a few miles of driving will reset it.

Does anyone know if the TPMS monitors the spare?

No. There is no TPMS sensor in the spare.

Thanks again for the info. I assumed not, but it was worth checking.
