You need to reset the TPMS every time you adjust the pressure in your tires. If you removed the tires and remounted them, you certainly need to reset it.

TPMS

I just swapped out tires and wheels today and followed the manual's reset instructions and it worked perfectly. If you can't per the manual, you might have messed up a sensor.
How good is the Pep Boys you went to?
