Default Removed gauge cluster and reinstalled - TPMS light now on!?

Removed gauge cluster to paint the inside of it silver to match my car, reinstalled it and now the TPMS light is on and the check system light. Does the settings for TPMS living in the gauge cluster?

Have you tried pulling a code? Or possible resetting the ECU?

No. I think I will try that tonight. Its just so weird that the stupid cluster would store TPMS info, if it in fact does.

I called the local dealer and the service tech I spoke with said I was nuts and that no settings are store in the cluster as far as he is aware.

Ill snap some pics when I get off work. I really like the way the cluster turned out with the silver inside lining the gauges.

At night, with the light reflecting off it it looks really cool.

I think the gauge switched to the 2nd set of TPMS. Use the menu button and select the correct set the light should go off.

I reset the battery, that didn't work. I put air in the tires and pressed the inital button and that didn't work either. I think I need the dealer to rescan and input the tpms info. Another thing to note, now my stupid seatbelt chime is back too.

That's strange. Removing the cluster shouldn't trigger the TPMS. I've removed mine twice.

I am not sure what the deal is, I am going to bring it into the shop to have the TPMS settings restored.
