I believe the manual either says that a blinking light means that a tire is under inflated or that the TPMS sensor is not found. I can't remember which it is. Look it up in the manual under the tpms or dash light section...I can't remember which.

Yeah, malfunction, which normally means it isn't there. If you just replaced tires and not rims, then someone may have stolen your TPMS, if you switched rims too, then your new ones don't have them. Whether to get new ones or switch over the old from stock is your call.

Everyone who switches out for winter wheels/tires rarely have TPMS sensors on them, so we deal with that "blinking after 10 minutes" thing all winter.
