You will get an error message on your dash board. It will be on constantly and there is no way to turn it off.

Could just buy a second set from one of the forum sponsors... I think they run in the $200-300 range for a full set.

Tirerack.com sells for $200 plus necessary valves, afterk-market ones. They work fine.

Did you have to do anything in order to recognize the new sensors? It's not clear to me how the car pairs with the sensors, and I don't see mention of it in the manual.
