Affected Component: EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL

Summary
"ISSUE: A CUSTOMER MAY REPORT THAT A SPARE WHEEL LOW TYRE PRESSURE WARNING IS DISPLAYED IN THE INSTRUMENT PACK MESSAGE CENTRE, WHEN NO FULL SIZE SPARE WHEEL IS PRESENT. CAUSE: THERE IS A SCENARIO WHERE AN INCORRECT SPARE WHEEL ID MAY BE LEARNT BY A VEHICLE THAT WILL THEN DISPLAY A LOW PRESSURE WARNING, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SPARE WHEEL, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS FITTED WITH A NON TPMS SPARE I.E SPACE SAVER OR INSTANT MOBILITY SYSTEM (IMS). THIS ISSUE IS UNLIKELY TO OCCUR, BUT PROBABILITY IS INCREASED AFTER THE USE OF WHEELS WITH NO TPMS SENSORS FITTED."
