Fix o flat or tire slime can mess up your tpms. But those products damage the inside of your tire more. It starts breaking down the rubber on the inside of the tire and ruins them. I would not use it unless its an emergency. And I'd get the tire repaired immediately and get that crap cleaned out from inside the tire.

well i took car in and got a new right rear tire as the old one got a nail in it. he gave me my sensor and said it wouldnt work so he just diddnt put it in, im sure it does work so im just going to tell them to put it in. im not paying 75$ for a new one when i really dont need it as i check my tire pressure at least once a week anyway with my gauge

Never ever use tire sealer. i seen that all i had for a spare was that and threw the stupid thing out on the spot. Its stinks when the guy fixing it has to take the tire off the rim and dosent work worth a sh*t.

Did he try to renitialize it?
If not go back and tell 'em to put the sumbitch back in.
