SOURCE: TPMS error light on, dash shows no readings
It has to be done at the dealer with the handheld computer. They have to access the Body Control Module and then go around to each tire with a unit that looks like a garage door opener and hold it on the tire below each valve stem. It should only take like 15 minutes to do.

i would wait untill u get your new tyres fitted before reseting the light and also the tyre place you get them fitted at could do it for you

The "Rebuild Kit" is just a set of seals, new mounting nut and sometimes, a new valve cap. The sensor must be removed to dismount the tire from the rim without breaking the sensor. (The valve stem is actually part of the sensor - this is why you shouldn't have a charge for "Valve Stem" on your bill.) Installing the sensor with new seals, nut, and valve cap did not cause your light to come on. Breaking the sensor during removal or installation could cause it. Over-inflating the tires can also cause the light to come on in some vehicles. Any way you look at it, they should fix the problem and reset your TPMS Computer to get the light turned off without any argument unless the problem is being caused by a sensor on a wheel other than the one that was replaced. (In this case, it would be pure coincidence that the sensor decided to give up the ghost immediately after the other tire was replaced...not real likely, but I've had similar things happen to cars I've worked on.)
Testimonial: "Answer was quick, relevant, supported with reasonable technical information and will be very good ground for me to stand on at the repair center."

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. You have two sensors. The front one does most of the work. The back one is for exhaust. Your code is referring to the back sensor. Also, try checking the seal on your gas cap if you are getting smog. In order to erase your codes, erase them on the computer. With this vehicle, it usually takes a hundred or so miles to erase code for good. Be sure to drive at different speeds, particularly in cruise control. A few miles at 55, a few at 65. I wasn't sure if you were aware of that. I have seen some not reset for 1500 miles. If you have the time and money, go ahead and change them both. The code will still be on there until the miles are driven. It is normal for this car.
