did you take the sensors out of the old wheels and put them in the new wheels? or put them in the spare? or put them in a pipebomb? if not, you'll need to do one of those.

if the light is flashing most likely the module is not reading the sensors, you probably wont be able to turn it off since federal law made every passenger car in 2008 to have TPMS

the TPMS module reads the TPMS sensors on each wheel, if you swap rims youlll need to swap the sensors, i believe youll need a ratchet and 12mm to take it off, just dont over tighten the seal or itll leak. also be sure to install the same valve cove, the silver nickel if you put the copper back in it could cause corrosion and damage to the sensor.
