Default Put on new tires and now problems

ok so yesterday i put on my summer tires and now im having some issues. first off 1 of my tpms sensors is reading 0 psi. i tried the relearn at my work the sensor responds but reads 0 psi??? the second is now i cant go into comp mode. the traction control still works and the stability control works. when i hit the tc button it just turns off then hit it again within the 2 seconds it just turns right back on..
the tires are uniroyal gtz 275/40/18 rear and 245/45/18 front

any help would be nice


thanks

I have learned from working on cars with TPMS that when your replacing tires your best bet is to put the wheels back where they were to reduce the likelyhood of problems. My first guess would be that the one of the sensors was damaged in the dismounting/mounting process.

They can just go bad as well. I have one that is dead and on the can't make up it's mind. When you replace the sensor and do the relearn, your stability control will work again.
