also I didn't think the 05 have tps cus it has rubber valve stem on them.I thought tps are all metal stem with sensor inside?

As you noted later, you tried a reset. That should do it. This system (I think you have the old TPM, as do I, which reads differences in rotation speeds, rather than a sensor on each wheel). Whenever you add air the system needs to be reset. I've had this happen.
