    Just got new set of tires put on and suddenly my low pressure light is flashing and then staying on. I'm wondering if the jerk stole my tpms. Does this look like the right valve stem?

    I have 2012 trd sport

    Yep, looks like a TPMS stem.

    Maybe a sensor got damaged during mounting?

    My guess is a sensor damaged.

    I know you might have done this but try resetting them again. It happen to me about 6-7 hours after an install on a CX5 I owned. I thought there was to much pressure but they just reset them and went from there.

    If it is flashing you have a bad sensor. If it is on steady you have a low pressure condition.

    Like the others said. If it's flashing, chances are they nicked it when replacing tires if the light all of the sudden started flashing after doing tires. Go back and talk to them. Don't raise hell yet.

    Like others said, if it flashes then stays on, that is a system malfunction indicator.
