New Wheels & TPMS

I recently bought some new wheels and tires with new TPMS sensors put on. I thought it would require me to reset the TPMS in the ECU, but I haven't seen any sort of dash light. Has anyone else had this experience?

If you take the old wheels and tires off and the new tires are the exact same size and the tire pressures are the same then it may not trip the light

thanks for the info. the wheels are the same size, the tires are 215 instead of 205, and the psi is the same as it was on the back and 2 lbs higher than it was on the front. I must be okay

it generally takes a 5 psi difference between the corresponding tires to trip the light. Running different PSI front to back runs a higher risk of tripping the light. The factory settings recommend the same pressure front and rear and of course this reduces the risk for a faulty trip of the system
