One sec. Let me connect techstream back and get you screenshots of what I did. I was trying to reset the learned driving parameters.
That’s “reset memory” for the ECM/ECT. It won’t have anything to do with the TPMS. Let it idle a while or go drive it.
 
figured it out. i took the spare tire off a few drives ago from underneath the car (it's in the garage and I don't plan on putting it back until a road trip). i guess car decided now is the time to tell me there's an error?
looked at DTC and it said can't read sensor 4 or something like that.

all 5 sensor IDs are still in the live data section under Tire Pressure Monitor.

All of your sensor IDs are still registered with the TPMS ECU. But since you have removed the spare tire, it can’t find that sensor.
 
@Sajan if your spare isn’t in the car, your tpms light will be illuminated as @GrouchyTech was saying. I know this first hand.
 
It's showing 4 readings and a dash now again. No warning lights after I cleared the code. Hopefully it stays that way.

If light comes back, should I remove one of the sensors? How do people deal with missing spares?

Most people just ignore the light. A few seal a transmitter into a PVC pipe with a valve stem on it, set the pressure, then hide it somewhere inside the car.
 
Today, input a new to me RTT on and tomorrow headed to the needles district of canyonlands:

On the hunt for some Micropterus cataractae with a friend of mine. I’m traveling down solo and have substituted the wife and kids with lead and brass and other various camping related items and I needed a weight for some springs I’m having built for my camper. Still a better drive than my minivan.

Yard on point.

Cruiser setup ok. 😆

As a busy dad I envy the solo trip. I love my family, love taking them to do things. But time alone to slow down is a vital reset.

Paying for lawn care is one of the best expenditures we have, when we have free time the last thing we wanna do if cut grass… we go play as a family instead.

I occupy this strange parenting space, I’m the stay at home parent. We knew we wanted to handle the kid thing in house and it just worked out that I was the lucky one. The guilt of taking off once a year for a few nights with a friend of mine is legit but it’s a guilty pleasure that keeps some sanity for me and allows my wife and kids to realize there really isn’t a cleaning troll who comes out and does all the house work… it’s hell week back home and they need a little dose of reality sans dad once in a while and somebody has to catch these bass down here.

Lawn care is one of the few things I can see future me paying someone to do, for the simple explanation of time.

I understand all too well on what you’re saying. Down to the cleaning Troll LOL.

3 levels of rich..

Level 1: Cutting Your Own Grass (Necessity)
The Scenario: You do it because you have to, or to save money.
Significance: Symbolizes independence, manual effort, and a tighter financial situation.

Level 2: Paying Someone Else to Cut Your Grass (Comfort)
The Scenario: You have achieved financial success and pay a service to handle it.
Significance: Represents buying back your time. You have enough income to outsource labor.

Level 3: Cutting Your Own Grass Again (Freedom)
The Scenario: You are wealthy enough to hire it out, but choose to do it yourself.
