Default Unable to check the pressure in one tire?

So, I have a tire that no matter how much air I put it/take out, it will always read 5.5-6 PSI on the gauge. The gauge isn't broken, it works right on my other tires. I'm not sure if its a broken valve stem or what. Any ideas how much it would cost to have a valve stem replaced, or if theirs a kit or something I can buy at autozone to fix it? thanks!

if you want a stem that reports to the ECU its like $150 for the TPMS Stem from Toyota. Regular one is $5. ONe will throw the Tire Pressure Light, one wont

Yeah, these don't have the TPMS stems on them, so my lights already on. I guess ill take it up to a place and have them see, discount tire said there wasn't enough tread, though theres atleast 25% left. I guess they know theyll have to fix it for free. Ah well, thanks for the advice everyone. And one quick question, what is the typical price to get tires switched from one set of wheels to another? Discount tire quoted me 125$ and that seemed really high.
