Default TPMS module problem

I am a newbie having just purchased my first vett. I have a 2000 convertible and have purchased a set of after market C6 chrome ZR1 wheels and installed my factory tpm's. The tire shop had a problem getting them to reset but finally was able to get them to read but they read incorrectly, but at least the service tpms light wasn't coming on.
Now the service tpms light comes on along with the service vehicle soon and check tire pressure comes on every time I start the car.
I took it to the Chevy dealership to have them reset the tpms but they said that they were having trouble with the module not wanting to communicate with their equipment. They said that they would have to do some studying up and see if they can come up with a way to fix it.
Does this mean my module is bad or my dealership doesn't know what they are doing or both?

Thanks for any help in this matter.

Terry

Your 2000 sensors are past their lift span. They are good for 8 years or so, after that, it’s borrowed time.

Thanks guys, I will try the reprogramming procedure and if it doesn't work I will have to break down and purchase new ones or have these rebuilt.

Thanks again
