Hi Guys, about one week after changing my wheels from stock 17" to 20" "Tire Pressure Monitor Fault" blinks up in my Boardcomputer. I checked pressure on all tires (all 56 psi) and its good. I didn't put the TPMS Sensor in the wheels, didn't knew that I have to. Is it possible to reset this fault message or do I have to add the TPMS sensors?

I bought my Edge LTD on February 2013 and since by local laws I needed winter tires I ask the dealer to remove the 18” chrome clad tires and install the 17” winter tires I bought from him. Two months later I removed myself the 17” winter tires and installed the 18” chrome clad and drove all summer with no problem. Last December, I removed again the summer tires and installed the winter ones and all went fine again. Last Monday, I removed the winter tires and installed the summer ones again. Checked the pressure in all and it was 36psi. Next day was a heavy rain day, start the car and noticed nothing on the dashboard and drove for about 3 miles to a store. When I got back into the car and drove another 10 miles the TPMS message came on. Stopped and checked all tires and nothing was wrong and finally went home. Car stayed all night in the garage including all day Tuesday and I thought that now she will dry enough to get no messages again. Today I went out but the message now says “Tire Pressure Sensor Fault”. Car has 12000km Should I go to the dealer or there is something I can do myself?
