Default Re: tire light on dashboard

The car came back with not only the "light bulb" icon lit up but also the "tire inflation sensor" lit up. We found the tires to be underinflated and filled them to the proper poundage. The light did not go off, and the tires have maintained the correct poundage that we filled them to. So, I now have 2 lights that remain lit up on my dashboard! Any thoughts?
The most common bulbs missed when looking for one that is out is the rear license plate lights.
Often when installing new tires the Guy breaks a sensor taking the tire off. They will be loathe to admit that though. Have you taken the car for a ride after putting air in the tyres? Some say it needs a run to reset the light but I have not found that to be true. I am also not sure if the sensors have to go back in the same position they came from. Food for thought though.
