TPMS question with 205/50/16

Hey guys I just swapped to some 205/50/16 and I now have a TPMS (sensor) light. I found on Tirerack that some people said that the Sensors needed to be reset after changing size. Does anyone know if this is true or did the mechanic just mess up a sensor when he swapped tires. Or am I just stuck and have to do to Honda a shell out $100 for them to check and reset.

Thanks for the help

It is likely that they could have damaged one of the sensors whenever they were removing one of the original tires. I know whenever I had gotten new tires and my rims swapped nothing had to be reset on my GD3. Resetting the TPMS sensors is more than likely something required in higher end vehicles like a BMW 5 series or a similar type whenever you add/remove air and/or change tire size.
