Restoring TPMS

Restoring TPMS
Hi everyone,
I don't have the original tires/wheels for my xB, and I'm looking at getting that back to stock for resale. Can someone comment on what would need to be done to restore TPMS functionality!
Thanks, and sorry this is a broad question. I don't really know where to start on this.

Do you still have the original TPMS sensors? If so all you have to do is mount them on your wheels and hit that button under the dash. Otherwise if you buy new or pre-owned sensors you will need to get them programmed by the dealer or tire shops.

All signs point to I had no idea there were TPMS sensors in the factory wheels/tires, and I'll need to do what you mentioned. Thanks for the reply.
... I had the wheels switched by the dealership right when I got the car. I can't imagine they went out of their way to swap the sensors for me.

I only ask because I find it odd that they would just swap wheels/tires off stock wheels with sensors without advising you that you will need to swap the sensors or at least give you the sensors in hand

Yes, the reason I'm looking into it is because my tire pressure warning light is always illuminated. It doesn't bother me at all, but might make a difference to a buyer. I'm not too worried about it, I was just curious about some input. Sadly, not all dealers are attentive (or care) about little things like this. I didn't notice it until it was too late: the TPMS system didn't shoot an error message until I'd had the car for a little while.
