Let's face it at $700 plus labor I would stick a piece of black tape over the light and act like I did not have the TPMS on the car.
The unit they are talking about is also the control that sends the signal to open and shut the garage door, does that work? if so I would not worry about it too much.
I would want to know how they got that diagnosis as I find dealerships worse than politicians for lying. They just want your money and assume that most if not all of their customers are idiots. I tend to agree with them on this issue, I have seen absolute lies told to customers that a reasonably informed person would laugh at, as they were based on idiotic reasons by the dealer rep.
