Does anyone know if the spare tire is monitored by the "tire pressure warning system"?

The warning light is currently on. I checked all of my tires and they were all at 32 PSI. The sticker on the door frame indicates that the tires should be at 29 PSI (cold) and the tires say 51 PSI maximum. I filled the tires up three times finally working my way up to approximately 50 PSI. The indicator light is still on. I plugged one of my tires about a month ago (screw was stuck in it) and I am wondering if the "system" senses a leak in that tire? I just checked my tires and they are all at about 46 PSI.

YOU ALSO NEED TO CHECK THE PRESSURE ON YOUR SPARE TIRE, IF IS NOT THE RIGHT PRESSURE IT WILL SHOW THAT INDICATION,MINE DID THE SAME AND I WAS NOTIFIED AT THE DEALER OF THAT.

My spare tire was placed with the valve stem facing towards my truck. I guess I need to take the tire off and flip it. Thank-you for the information.

Yes, the spare also has a sensor in it. I wouldn't go much past 35 psi, depending on how much weight you carry inside and in the bed.Please be aware, that you have to reset the system after you change tire pressures. It's all in your owner's manual. Turn your key to the on position(without starting the engine)and press the reset button,below your steering wheel, to the left. Your TPMS light should blink 3 times and then go out. Hope this helps.
