You could probably call the shop that did the work and ask them.

I think the TMPS data goes to a separate computer, so the Scanguage might not have access to the data. I can't tell from the manuals that I have. Maybe somebody else here knows.

you are correct.

from what i understand, the easiest way to do it would be to take out the original sensors out, and put in a new set that was purchased specifically with the gauges... one downside to think of, the reason that a lot of tire shops have a disclaimer that states that it must be changed every time is because there are a lot of techs in the field who "forget" to check for TPMS and break the sensors... if that happens, they will replace it with a factory sensor and you will be lucky if they tell you that they did it...

i am spokane valley, currently at SCC in the auto tech program... there are people in the classes from pretty much ALL the major shops here, and they are all saying that it is an issue at the shops in town... luckily my car does not have or need the TPMS sensor because it is old enough to not require it... i usually shop at discount in the valley, because they usually try to treat me right... but i usually don't worry about tire pressure too much because somehow, i have been able to tell when i am low on pressure(even by only about 5 lbs.)... so do you remember the les schwab commercials of "we come running when you stop in"? <----- tell me another one... they don't even try!... so when did you leave spokane and why?

FLPT? what is that? never heard of it... so yeah while on the subject of SCC, the bowling classes have been cancelled and the alley may be coming out of the campus after last week... some instructor did not listen to the maintenance person who maintains the alley and got himself killed...
