Theres no tool the dealership will have to reset the light. I worked in a dealership, and if the light doesn't go out, basically all you can do is try a new sensor

TPMS sensors can be moved from one wheel to another but it is time-consuming and easily broken. Dealers can reset the 'code' recognition (for a price) but the real problem is there are a half-dozen manufacturers and every brand wants it 'own' so the poor owner gets screwed. The cost per sensor is 50 to 75 each so a set will cost $200 to 300. Ain't govm't wonnaful. It won't take long for owners to tape over the 'warning' light or just ignore it so there we are back to owner not taking care of his maintenance required, overloading his tires, having a blowout,crashing, and blaming the tires. Love technology but not stupid technology.
