I recently bought four brand new tires and rims for my car from Discount Tire, they put them on, but my low-pressure tire light is still on. They tried to reset it and they couldn't, they told me to take it back to the dealership. they want to charge me $150.00 just to look at it. So, Discount Tire told me it's my ODP port that's not reacting. so, now I'm driving around with my tire pressure light on. please help.

Hello,

Inside the rims there are sensors that relay the information back to the car's computer, if the discount tire did not have the right tool to reprogram the sensors in those rims the car will see that as a fault and illuminate the tire pressure indicator light. With that being said, to get the light off it will need to go to a garage that has the tool do recalibrate the sensors.
Hope that helps,
Dustin
