What exactly does the TPMS light look like and where is it on the main gauge system?
on the left side of steering wheel, where the warning lamps are located there comes a flashing light that looks like an exclamation point (!). this flashes for about 15-20 seconds then turns off. also where the digital odometer is there are words that say TPMS fault and this stays on until you press reset to the right of the odometer. you must press reset every time you start the car. i do this bc its cheaper

what happens when the tires with bands are removed from the car entirly?

i only get the flashing light every once in a while,seems like if the tires didnt have bands in them i would get the flashing light all the time.
Do you still have the original tires in your garage or close to where you park your car? I've had my 20's on for 6 months, with the stock tires in the garage and only after traveling 45 miles from home did the sensor ever go off. I just dismounted my stock wheels and took out the sensors to sell them, and now have to reset everytime I start it. I will put them in my new wheels because now the flat tire light won't go out even after reset.

This is probably going to sound like a dumb question, but...

For those of you with 07+, how do you handle putting on different wheels/tires when you go to the dragstrip? Do you just reset the light or let it freak out while you're driving it? Or do you put sensors on the new wheels and have them calibrated? Just curious...
