You can reset them with a magnet to re sync them. I don't know the procedure off the top of my head but I have a sheet at home. If you search TPMS reset that might work for you.

Any suggestions where to buy a magnet like the one in the video?
All the ones I have are the little rare-earth things that look like button batteries.

Find an old speaker magnet.I have one that came off my factory rear speaker that I replaced.It works great for this.Any speaker magnet should work.

I used the magnet off my magnetic tool tray when working on the car. It worked. Best of luck!
