Check tire engine light...help!

i rebalanced my wheels and the check tire engine light keeps going on and off. Will stay on for awhile and then after 40 miles turn off. Keeps coming back on.

I know the tire module was remounted inside the tire from the factory wheels to the aftermarket wheels, but balancing shouldn't change anything. Nothing was dismounted. No problems until i got the wheels rebalanced couple weeks ago.

Any suggestions?

did u check the tire pressure, the check tire light means a tire is low on air. But "the check tire engine light keeps going on and off", well which is it the tire light or the engine light?

can u see which light on the module is flashing red? that is your problem tire, now the I only hope they tranfered the color rings to the new rims, cause its a guessing game after that. They either need to be reprogrammed or replaced, I have seen the battery go out in them, 5yr life on the batteries

the sensor is in the wheel, the module itself is under the glove box area
