Spare Tire Pressure Sensor

[latvius]

I noticed this in the tech 2 about a TPMS for the spare tire. Could you enable this feature and put a sensor in the spare tire in a 2005 tahoe? Has anyone done this?

I don't know why not. I've heard it done but don't have any specific proof. I should try it with my '04 -- my Autel will program sensors.

I think it also needs to be 'turned on' (enabled) in the BCM so the TPMS light would come on if it got low.

Go into Module Setup or something like that to see if you can turn on the 5th sensor.

It could be one if those things that's only there and won't work unless it was already built into the vehicle as an option.. which could well be if it's a requirement of some foreign market to monitor the spare tire. Which in a way isn't a bad idea.

Good idea. Turn it on without a sensor installed to see if the cluster light or message comes up.

Will do, thx!
