Tyre pressure sensor problems are the least of OP's worries. As it stands, he has a car that needs a new engine. I don't see that tyre pressure sensor warnings from over three years ago are material to the problem.0

To what I was told it’s an indirect one , which means it’s rotation of wheels it’s in the ads or with in that area , the others are in the valves of each tyre an shows you which tyre it is , they had to reprogram it , it was shown that the garage Kia the one I was using was already making plans not to deal with Kia anymore as everything was to much trouble for them (if it was Kia car )1
