Angry Discount Tire Moron's....

Ok so I took my 3 in for new shoes, 33" Nitto's on aftermarket Rims, all was well for about an hour, my SERV TPM light starting coming on. I took it back twice they tried to reset it, it would clear, then come back. Well I took it to the Dealer to have to computer updated for the new tires, (which didnt work has to be redone) and they said the sensors were pegged, and they didnt know what to do, it was a saturday at 12 so they were ready to leave.

After another week of this annoying light, I finally checked the tire pressure, duh i assumed it was right cause the tire shop checked it, was it? NOPE they had the pressure cranked to 40psi, which according to the specs on the TPMS sensors, is way to high for cold tire pressure!!! So when the tires got warm, the air expanded, and the sensors reached the top limit of thier sensing range, and errored out. I reduced the pressure to 32 psi, and now all is right with BAM.

Just a lessons learned if you guys have a similar problem...
