After you fill your tires you should go and reset your tpms through I drive or stalk (pretty sure you can do it through the stalk)

+1 on the TPMS reset - see your owner's manual for particulars. And since air is 78% nitrogen, having pure nitrogen won't affect the psi requirements. Actually, it does very little for most drivers except to lighten their wallets.

The type of air is not measured by the TPMS sensors, just the air pressure. You could have Helium in there at 36psi and it they wouldn't know the difference.

Your tmps sensors are currently HIGH from the nitrogen and they don't know the difference!
