sounds like the impact may have interfeared with the TPMS causing it to reset itself. I would just check the tire pressure in all the tires to be sure and continue to check once a month ( i do a check at every fillup with the tire pressure guage that has a magnet in the fuel door to remind me) to ensure it is still working properly. If you dont find a problem I would not worry much about it.

^ This. Blinking means that it is not receiving a signal from the sensor in the wheel, it will go solid after 1-2 minutes of blinking after it gives up. If it eventually re-establishes connection then the light goes out again.

you can go to any pepboys, autozone, advance auto parts stores and they usually have them near the checkout if not at least in the tire repair section. I just picked up a round face guage that has a magnet attached to it and place it just below and to the right of the fill neck. It gives just enough room for the door to close. everytime I go to fill up when i am removing the cap i see the guage and it reminds me to check my tire level. It even came in handy this morning when my tire light went off and I had to get air at one of those stations that do not have the air pump that tells you how much air is in your tire.
