    So it seems to me, you don't have a TPMS as such (with individual tyre pressure sensors), but a system which measures the speed of the wheels/discs using the ABS sensors.


    There are 2 kinds of TPMS direct which shows pressure of each tyre & Indirect which uses sensors to measure wheel rotation speed.

    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.

    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 )
