Default ECU is not reading my TPMS Sensor!?

I have a set of tpms sensor that I purchased and ran on my previous set of wheels. The tire shop had programed them and everything was fine, no warning lights at all. I took tpms off when I sold the wheels, they were sitting in my garage for like couple month. Today, I have a shop mount them on my new set of wheels, after 30 miles of driving, the sensor lights is still on. Any idea? Am I suppose to have a tire shop reprogram them?

have the shop recheck the sensors for damage and reprogramed again or possibly one of the sensors could have a low battery

Discount Tire or Les Schwab have tools that can check that without dismounting them.
