Do a search on "linking tps sensore". Its pretty easey, just need to go through a few steps on the DIC and hold a magnet near the valve stem on each wheel (do the search though, I havent had to do it so I dont have detailed instructions).

Aside from that, aren't the treads directional on your tires? Why not put them back on the right way? I believe if the tp goes below 25psi, you get the DIC warning.

If your tires are on backwards, you have a much bigger problem than sensors!

Check it out right away. Most have some sort of arrow showing direction of rotation.

You need to put them back on the right sides.

As it was said, just look at the sidewall of the tire and look at the directional arrow, points in the direction of the forward roll.
