Tire pressure sensor help...

Last Saturday night a huge chunk of concrete fell off a truck in front of me. I swerved and almost missed it...almost. I ran it over with my left front wheel and destroyed the R90 2 piece wheel and the run flat tire. I'm guessing the tire pressure sensor is junk as well.

I found the wheel and I have a new set of runflats. My question - can the light be reset with three TPS units? If not, does anyone have an extra sensor for a 2004 MCS they'd like to sell?

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe the sensor is in the wheel on 2006 or below, it has to do with the rotation on the axles (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) just reset the thing and go

Sensor isn't in the wheel, to reset just start the car holding down the button between the seats and drive off. Should be fine.
