need answer pls (TPMS Problem)
Hello every one , I have 08 IS F , had stock wheels but switch to rims, decided to go back to stock; realizing is nothing like stock wheels, now my check air light wont come off, I only drove for 40 miles so far, I have asked and many told me including my brother that it takes time for the car to read them again, sometimes 3 days, but I did had the stock off the car for a week and half off, I don't want to go to dealer if I can solve the issue, any one has any suggestions or help ?!?!?!?! please..

Not sure if they have them in FL, but discount tire can check if your sensors are activated and re-program them if needed.

Were the TPMS sensors switched to the aftermarket wheels and then again back to the OEM wheels? But I've never heard of a check air light. Check Engine Light could result from numerous things.
1) check on the gas cap- if not tightened properly, it'll trigger the CEL for sure
2) are the TRAC/VSC icons illuminating as well?
3) have your car scanned for codes- this will help diagnose and remedy the situation of needing items replaced
Best of luck, but try finding out of the TPMS sensors were put back onto the OEM wheels. If they were new sensors that were not programmed, that can also lead to a light popping up too.

Depending on how they installed the aftermarket set, they could have switched the car to only read the second set of sensors and forget the last ones, or they did it right and switched to the "second" sensor option in the settings. Try switching them via the buttons, but I am thinking they just deleted the oem/stock sensor codes.
