I am not sure if this question is asked before: Will using tire sealant damage the TPMS?

Most tire sealants say that they won't harm tpms sensors. Tire sealant is a temporary fix meant to get you to a tire shop for a proper repair. Read the container carefully to make sure it is tpms safe. However it is a better idea to have the tire plugged or patched and not use the sealant at all.

Thank you both for the reply.
I decided not to use sealant, either do a real repair (plug) or get a new tire if I can't find the spot.

Try mixing some soap and water in a squirt bottle. Spray it on the tire and look for bubbles.
