The shop that tested the sensors should have or could turn off the TPMS message. Also you didn't mention how old they are as their average battery life is around 7 years. The shop should have told you if the sensor batteries are good. Last did they check the sensor in the spare tire or did you check the air pressure in the spare tire. Now that fall is coming in the NE there will start to be TPMS triggers so check your tire pressures in the morning and bring them up to recommended rate. There is also a switch near the glove box to switch to a second set of tires so make sure it is set correctly.

OK then you are SOL. That being the case put a piece of black electrical tape over the light.

black tape is my go to solution for my winter tires (one of my sensors has failed and cant be bothered to fix) but re your problem just want to eliminate the obvious...sorry if u done it already, no disrespect meant
1. having adjusted pressure correctly did u press the reset button under the left dash properly
2. is your select tire switch under right dash on the correct setting Main/2nd (try both anyway)

There's a thread somewhere about how to "jump" the tpms light at the light doesn't show up. Still sends the fault code but no light. It works and it a fairly easy hack.
