At least my system doesn't care that the sensors are absent for an extended period. But remember, my car is ghetto. It's from 2017 and it's not very sophisticated. It freaks out if it doesn't detect the TPMS after, I want to say, 30 minutes or so? I don't recall which model year your Toyota is, but my wild ass scientific guess is that our systems are similar.

I've got the summer wheels tucked behind my spare set of Boxster track wheels and behind the Boxster itself, so there's a layer upon layer blocking the RF signal to the Corolla this season. My TPMS light has been on all winter but I do check my tire pressures on a weekly basis to make sure all is well.
