I did consider cleaning the parking sensors cuz they are a bit dirty from the inside but isn't the Blindspot alert related to the tail lights only?
Easy test. Tape over the bumper sensors and see what happens.

Like I said. I drive on the desert, alert comes up, clean bumper sensors only and don’t touch tail lights and alert goes away after restart.

Okay, I can't be the only one thinking this, but since no one else has said it yet... changing the air pressure in your spare tire does not alter it's weight. (Unless you're filling it with helium or something. :))
The tire can be flat, or at 40PSI, the weight will be the same within a few ounces.
Tire inflation PSI, (pounds per square inch) is referring to the amount of pressure per square inch on the inside of the tire. It has nothing at all to do with how much the tire weighs.

it alters it slightly but not any appreciable difference.

Yes, of course air has mass, but the volume of air at 32PSI in a 35" tire works out to roughly 4.5 cubic feet, which has a corresponding mass of roughly 6 ounces.
