Yes. You'll need a TPMS tool to "re-introduce" the sensors to the car's receivers.
San
The "tool" is a magnet, and this is not necessarily true. If you put the sensor back on the same corner of the car, you most likely will not have to "relearn" the sensor.
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.
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 (Magnet) 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.
9. 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

They simply unscrew and can be transferred from wheel to wheel. Easy to do, just so they mount properly. TPMs are so commonplace nowadays most wheels will accomodate them. Keep each sensor in it's current location, i.e. R/F, L/F, etc and like dougbefresh said, you won't have to re-program anything.
You do not need to retrain the sensors if you put them back on the car in their original locations. Just removing the sensor doesn't do anything to it. But if you put the LR on the LF and the LR gets low, you will be putting air into the wrong tire.
