Thanks for all the info guys I will probably be purchasing new sensors for the wheels anyway so I can just swap the wheels straight over to avoid issues with insurance as tyre pressure monitor systems are now tested in MOTs from 2012 vehicles onwards. I’ve already pulled the tyres down in work and checked what sensors are required I’ll post up a picture if anyone else is interested

Sorry Amtech,
You can't just add sensors, your dealer has to program them to the car. Your spare has a sensor in it but the car won't recognise it (only four sensors on this system).
If you get a puncture and put the spare on your dash lights up orange and tells you to get TPMS checked. MOT doesn't check sensors it checks system error light so an emulator is a more realistic solution. I have read that removing the the sensors and packing them under the rear seat squab also works (haven't tried that).
Hope this helps, Chris

I work in a dealership (not Suzuki) so have the software and special tools to program the sensors. I’m also a qualified MOT tester and we have to check that the tpms warning light isn’t on as you described and a eliminator would work. Packing the sensors in the car won’t work due to they sense pressure and won’t be seeing the pressure they require unless they are placed in something at the pressure but they also require motion to activate e.g wheels rotating. I’ll probably just swap the sensors due to I have access to a tyre machine over with new valve stems if they are required due to when removed from old wheels the rubber sealing washer can get damaged and leak. Cheers for the help from everyone.
