Question:


Let me explain this in a simple way. I broke the tire valve pressure on one tire, went to a local shop, and got the valve replaced. It was fine after that. A couple of days later, another tire (not the one with the broken pressure valve) was low on pressure. I took it to the same shop, and the guy said there was a nail in it. He showed me, fixed it, and patched it from the inside. It seemed fine, but when I got home, I got a “Tire not recognized” pop-up.
I tried resetting and recalibrating it, but nothing seems to work, even after three days.
At this point, do you guys think he might have damaged the TPMS sensor? Or how do I narrow down the issue?
Any input is appreciated.

Guessing they may have broken the tpms sensor when patching the tire. If they broke the tire down in a bad spot to repair it (depending on the type of machine they used) I've seen them break plenty of times from people not paying attention or not caring.

I'd get it checked there first before spending money at the dealer
