Cannot say for sure sorry, but I’d hazard a guess it’s the TPMS receiver for the spare. David

There are several of them around the car and they all sense body roll as you travel, then the system adjusts the active shock absorbers to suite Thumbs Up

Oh well, pretty sure the spare on my 2007 was monitored as well (I had enough trouble with the TPMS).

But I knew someone would be along who knew exactly what it was....... Thumbs Up David

The spare on your 07 will be monitored sir... TPMS works on all five wheels 👍
