Did you do this?
Tool Required
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programmer
(TPM System Programming Tool means "magnet" to ordinary C5 owners!)
Important: Make sure the vehicle has been stationary for at least 2 minutes before attempting to program the TPM sensors.
1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
3. Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
4. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
5. Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
Notice: If the TIRE TRAINING message cannot be displayed, and the IPC is functioning properly, check if the BCM is configured with the correct RPO codes. Refer to BCM Programming/RPO configuration.
6. Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin the programming sequence.
7. Install the J 41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool over the left front valve stem.
8. The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
Important: If the horn does not sound after 15 seconds, remove then reinstall the TPM sensor programming tool. This procedure may have to be attempted up to three times in some instances.
When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages
- LEARN R FRONT TIRE
- LEARN R REAR TIRE
- LEARN L REAR TIRE

After a flat repair, just had to drive a few minutes; pressure sensor reading self-corrected.

I don't know, when I left the repair shop the warning signal kept coming on. The tech told me to drive the vehicle and it will reset. I had to get the tire removed from the rim to repair the leak. The warning is telling me the tire has 8 lbs in the tire. I'm going out the vehicle now and check the pressure myself.

Perhaps he screwed up the sensor when he removed or re installed the tire. Drive it for awhile.

You can try that, but if the sensor is on the same wheel as before and ther is plenty of air in the tires, they could have damaged the sensor as mentioned above. Have them check that out also.

I was just wondering because the TiresPlus where I bought my tires had a hand held device and could not train my new sensors with it . I bought the magnet and trained them at home.

Tire shop took both rear wheels off, replaced the tires and did not pay attention to which was left and which was right. Drove me nuts, trying to reset the sensors. (left rear was low on air) dash message was driving me nuts as well. Then a friend noticed the right rear was low and when i put air in it everything went away. Thanks Tire Kingdom dummy.
