Default Tire pressure sensor

Just switched wheels. I kept the old working) sensors in the old wheels and used two new sensors and two working (at least that's what the seller said) sensors in the new wheels. Getting a right front tire flat message and reduced handling, 55 mph limit message. I assume the sensor is bad and will replace, but can I drive the car regularly while I wait for a new sensor.

RTFM??

Read your owners manual to retrain your sensors!

It's entirely possible he really does have a bd one since re-training only tells the IPC where it's located, not what to say.

If you haven't retrained the sensors, do that first. If you still have the message then could be a bad sensor. If you have runflats and veryify that there is plenty of air in them, will be OK to drive on them until you get a new sensor. If non-runflats, again OK to drive on them if you have proper air pressure.

Read the manual. Just thought that an untrained sensor would give the "xxx" sign, not the tire flat sign. Gonna retrain them - I was wondering about the reduced handling issue.
