If you had a bad sensor, i think it would say TPMS not detected. I had 1 sensor that failed once and it had a different message ( not 'low tire" that i think you are seeing). I went to Discount Tire and they had a hadheld unit that re-synced it.

If the car can't find one of the TPMS sensors due to it being defective, dead battery, or not registered to the car the message will be "CHECK SYSTEM" with the TPMS light on the dash lit and a flashing exclamation mark.

Sometimes you have to go above the recommended pressure by a few pounds to get the sensor to reset. Once it resets you can let the pressure back down to the recommended level.
