Any body with this occurrence?

Assuming you have the correct tire pressure in all wheels, then you should not have this problem IF the wheels were put back so that the sensor stayed in the same location as it was before. There is a chance you had a sensor(s) damaged by the installer or a battery coincidentally died at the same time as the tire change, which is too much of a coincidence.

I had my tires changed this past summer and the light did not come on at all. Why should it as there is no difference to the settings to what it was before the tires were changed. My tire installer asked if the sensors had to go in the same location as they came off and I said that they did.
