I didn't read the whole thread, but has anyone suggested just swapping the two front wheels, side-for-side, in case you mixed them up when you pulled them off?
I thought the sensors were position sensitive, so that if you removed them and rotated them, WITHOUT a reset, then they'd kick off the light.

So I took my two front wheels off the other day to install my 6k bulbs for my headlights. I drove fine for a little, and about 20 miles later (after) the install, the TPMS flashes for a good minute, and THEN stays solid. Did I do something wrong in taking off the wheels? Before I run to the dealership I wanted to see what you guys had to say about OEM wheels/TPMS issues.
Is it possible that your TPMS valve stems ran out of battery? If so, just replace them and they're cheap. When was the last time you changed the TPMS valve stems? Usually, when you replace tires, you're also supposed to replace the TPMS valve stems so the battery doesn't die. If you haven't changed valve stems since you bought the car, the battery in each TPMS valve stem might be dead right about now.
I believe I read somewhere that TPMS light flashing means that it lost signal to the TPMS module in each tire, which probably means that the battery died in the TPMS valve stem. I think they're actually very expensive to replace. I think even the manual states that flashing means the system isn't functioning properly.
Btw, warranty doesn't cover this, because TPMS stem valves are a wear and tear item.

Interesting, if that's true. Batteries are a wear and tear item and if it failed due to battery drain, I don't see how they would cover it.
If they do cover it then, you're lucky. The other thread said it was $200 per wheel to fix it at the dealer, and the battery in the sensors usually last about 5-7 years.

It'll come out to much cheaper than $800 for all 4 of them.

If the dealer won't cover them under warranty, you can always purchase from Amazon for $35 each and then have your local mechanic install them for you.

It tells you how to reset the TPMS light and confirm which wheel has the TPMS sensor problem.

Oh, and if you want, you can also do this yourself if you don't want to go to the stealership.
