TPMS Wont Reset After Tire Change

I got my tires changed earlier today (E92 335is) and immediately the sensors read left rear tire low. I pulled over, reset the tpms, started driving and again the low tire warning came up after about a mile. No matter what I do I cant get this to reset. Anyone got thoughts on what to do here?

This may sound like a dumb question ,but did you check that tires air pressure? Maybe you got one bad sensor? This may sound stupid but if all the tires have the correct air pres., I would swap the one thats giving you issues to see if the car says you now have a problem where you swaped it to.That will at least tell its the sensor and not the receiver.

Yeah the pressure is at 38psi. When you say swap you mean just switch the whole wheel from one side to another? If I have a bad sensor now I can only imagine that the tire shop broke it or didn't clean the slime shit out (will check to see if it was the same sensor as the one that had a flat).

Yeah I mean just swap any two wheels. You make a good point , I have heard of the slime for flat repairs can damage the tpms or like you said it could of broke when they mounted your tire. good luck

Sounds like your TPMS isn't working.
Sometimes I'm really glad I dont have TPMS sensors in my wheels, on board works flawlessly for me

It probably just got gunked up from the slime or needed a reboot. When I turned on my car after work the tpms was reset and all was well.

Cool I'm glad it's working for you, I hate seeing stupid warning symbols lit up on the dash. I guess it just needed time to reset.
