Default TPMS

So I changed my rear wheels the other day and could care less about the TPMS so I opted not to change the sensors over to the new rims. Well that was on Saturday. I still have not had a light going off saying anything about it. Does anyone know if the sensors only transmit when there is a fault? I was under the impression they transmitted at some regular interval no matter what. I'm pretty surprised that its been 5 days and hasn't shown up as an issue yet.....

I don't believe mine showed up either for a few days. Once it did show up, it starting flashing a few times on startup, and then it&nbsp\\;goes away. I can live with that.

My light comes on after about driving 15 miles. When i turn off the car and restart the light is off, but then after 15 miles it comes back on again. I'm thinking of putting them back in next winter.

does it just come on in the readout thing or does the little tire light come on and stay on? it really wont bother me if i have to hit reset every time i start the car cause i hit the tcs switch every time anyway... it'll just be 2 buttons instead of 1...

The orange ! will blink for a few minutes on startup, after that the light goes away and you won't have to mess with it. No buttons to press.

the orange light will come on and blink, also a message below the speedo will say TPMS fault, press reset and they both will go away until you start the car again. i also did not switch out the TPMS and I press reset, no big deal.
