The TPMS system is driving me nuts. I bought a set of new wheels recently and had the shop swap my stock sensors onto the new wheels. Unfortunately one of the stock sensors broke when the shop was installing my new wheels -__- So the shop had that sensor ordered via my car's VIN# and installed it onto my rims, but the TPMS light stayed on. I took it to the dealership and had them reprogram the light, and after try after try, they finally thought they fixed the problem with the light by disconnecting my aftermarket stereo and recalibrating the TPMS then. They stated that because I swapped the OEM radio with an aftermarket one the PCM (?) doesnt recognize it and thus when recalibrating the TPMS, the light will still stay on. After 3hrs at the dealership I thought the problem was fixed. I drove home no light everything was cool. Later that night though, I drove my car again and poof the light comes on! -__- I have NO idea what it could be. But I'm afraid if I tell the dealership about the problem they will charge me more money to fix it. Any car gurus have any clue what could be causing this problem?
