TPMS light on GD3

TPMS light on GD3
122K. Within the last month, my dash light has varied between the underinflated tire icon and the TPMS light. Now it's TPMS only, which makes me think one or more sensors is kaput. Tires are all at rated pressure, BTW.
I know that when one sensor goes, the others may be next...so what's the best way to approach this from a frugal standpoint? Tire place or Walmart with TPMS diagnostics and replace with generic sensors? Buy sensors or rebuild kits myself online and have someone else install & program? Curious how others dealt with this.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Stopped by Costco today.
Tire dept was swamped day before the holiday, but found out they have diagnostics, install is $15 plus the sensor (which they didn't have on hand, would have to order) at $40. So maybe a smidge less than $60 all in with tax for one sensor replacement. FYI for anyone else...

Yeah its good and bad at the same time. You can ride around without it and just deal with the TPMS light. That's what I do on race day or when I cruise around on the Volks.

The underinflated icon is an exclamation point inside a tire tread. Can't show a photo of it on my dash as it is no longer lit with the TPMS light on constantly.
Here's what I gather:
Underinflated tire icon - system detects low pressure in one or more tires, but system is working.
TPMS - system is not working and is unable to detect all four pressures. Typically it means one or more sensors is kaput.
