    I agree, it's probably a broken sensor. A reputable shop can easily repair this mistake.

    Tire Discounters broke one of my sensors. 1st time ever after years of service. They carry cloneable sensors there at the shop.

    They load the broken sensor in one end of a device and the new sensor in the other end. Push a button and boom. It took all of 2 minutes to remove the broken sensor, clone it and reinstall the new sensor.

    Zero issues.

    Walmart, however, is not a reputable shop. So I would press to have them pay for the repair by a real tire shop.

    That I wouldn't know. But I would talk to the "manager" at Walmart first. Get this documented and moving in the right direction. IMO, it's clear they damaged the sensor.

    Nicely explain to them that they need to pay to have this fixed. Go from there

    My tires were 4 psi low. I pumped them up. That made the TPMS light come on for awhile.
