I was going to ask the obvious. Did you check the tire pressure, but...
If you didnt install the TPMS sensors in your new wheels then your system computer has been looking for them. After a time is gives up looking and the system defaults to "warning light on".
Each of your sensors is a small radio transmitter. It lays dormant (park mode) when the car is at rest. The sensor then wakes up when the car travels at 15mph. If the car comes to rest for 20 minutes or more the sensors shut down again to park mode. This saves on the batteries.
If the pressure exceeds the high or low limits of the pressure threshold, the sensor sends a signal to the system reciever and your warning indicator illuminates.
If a system fault occurs the indicator light will flash on/off for 60 seconds, once every 10 minutes.
Sometimes sensors that may be on someone else's take-offs (Chrysler Canada) may not work with your system.
Hope this helps everyone.
