TPMS Help, BLinking

ok i have a g37 journey and had stock 18. I bought some stock 19 on the internet. when i put them on they were all good i was driving about 30 min then the Tire Pressure thing kicks on so i figure maybe its cause now i got 19. So i check the air and they were all the same at 35 so im just gonna let it sit and see what happen so i get to work and i turn the car off. Wait about 2 hours then i come back and i turn the car on and this time It blinks about 5 times on and off then it just stays on.

What is the problem? Do i have to balance the wheel or something because when im going around 50-60 there vibration more than what it use to be. Also i bought 3 wheels from a guy on ebay and 1 from a local guy. So they are different set but with the same tires

That notes a malfunction in the TPMS system. The likely problem is that one of the sensors is out of sync with the system. Your dealer is the only one that can sync them. Hopefully they will do it for you for free. I had to pay because it was right after I got my Volks on with new tires.

No that won't help. You're experiencing the exact same thing I did.
