Each time that you change the tire or new wheel.TPMS must be reset.Go back to the dealer and have them reset for ya.Approx $40-$60.

You need to have the TPMS put on your new wheels. That is more than $40-60. That cost is just to have them recalibrated.

TPMS may or may not fit right into your new wheels. That will figure into how much it will cost to have them installed. But I can tell you it won't be cheap. Most people just drive with the light on.

Thanks man, but my question is that does TPMS will affect on some other part, such as ABS and other high tech computerize system?? In the case of if I am going to drive with the light on will affect other parts of the car??

Thanks again!!

don't go to a dealership to have your new tpms installed....in BC they charge 150 a wheel to have them installed

a friend of mine who manages a body shop is doing mine for 50 bucks a wheel as long as i supply the tpms

+1 Don't got the dealer if you gonna get a new set of TPMS.They cost expensive.Try searching on Marketplace.Someone might wanna sell their for better price.

If you want to spend $200-300 on transmitters go for it. If you own a tire gauge and use it then ignore and enjoy.

Up here in snow country we dont give a shxt if the TPMS light goes on when we put our snows on.
