Yeah. I read somewhere that you usually have to drive a little bit before the light will go on/off.

TPMS will definitely come on if the pressure is too high, and it shouldn't take long to reset if the system is the same as Toyota.

TPMS is the devil.

yeah i work at discount tire. they probably just didn't reset your sensors. it happens. we get pretty busy so stuff like that will slip our minds, especially since not all cars have tpms. and if a sensor was broken it would either read low tire light, or it would say something like tpms failure. so i'm pretty sure he just reset and recalibrated your sensors at 35 psi and all the locations they are according to the car. if they broke your sensor, and you didn't replace it, it would always stay on saying either of the two. the only way to make the tpms low tire light or failure light turn off without having a sensor is taking it to a dealer to reprogram your cluster. either way, if they did break your sensor, we have tons in stock. it wouldn't hurt the company whatsoever to replace it for you if they broke it. also discount tire resets sensors for free even if you didn't get it there. just pull up tell them if it's on and they'll probably do it for you.

Yes, you would need to drive for awhile to come on, I would say atleast 20+miles. On my 350z, I didn't even install my TPMS when I got new wheels... and it would take about 20 or so miles of driving for the light to come on.
