Also try adjusting the pressure in all tires and then reset the TPMS.

Your car computer is registered with the original 4 TPMS. If the original TPMS are used by the new tire, you may have one failed during the installation process.

If you have used new TPMS in the new tire, you need to go to the dealer to register the new sensors into the computer. Each TPMS has a uniqe number and the computer needs to communiate with the sensors using that number. There is a device which can allow you to do this in DIY and it costs about $150.

I am not sure how much dealer charges for setting the new TPMS sensor.
