I didn't have my charger on. I boosted the car and drove it for about 60miles do I have to reprogram the tpms?

I have never had to relearn them due to a dead battery or even removing the battery completely. You may have to re-index the windows.

I already Re indexed the windows...

My TPMS showed xx after I disconnected my battery for a couple of minutes, driving around the block at 30 mph+ reset them.

If the main car battery is low on charge, you can get all sorts of strange electrical issues. Be sure you are fully charged.

I guess u have to reprogram mine
I drove it at 60+ for an hour and they didn't reset

if car is older than 5 years they are probably bad

They were fine before I let the car battery drain. The sensors them selves are only a year old

The car doesn't forget the sensor identification codes. If you didn't use OEM sensors it is higly possible the replacement ones are dead. The Dorman sensors have very poor battery life. Another thing that will affect them just like it will affect your battery is cold weather. How cold is it where your car is parked?

Wouldn't an alarm come on saying that they need to be reset?

Interpretation - My car battery died because I didn't drive the car for 3 months. The TPMS now reads "XXX"?

OP, Bill knows. Either your TPMS sensor(s) is/are dead possibly due to cold batteries or you have a more serious problem. You should never have to reprogram unless you change to different sensors. They do go dormant when the car is parked for more than 20 minutes. When they are dormant they still transmit once an hour. They have an internal switch that reactivates them as soon as you rotate the wheel at 20mph.

you drove the car 20.000 miles to charge the battery? WOW. 5 amp charge for a couple of days is the best way to charge a batt.

The BCM can wig out from time to time, so just go to Discount tires and they will reset the TPMS's for free.

The tool also can read the battery level on the TPMS, and if the batteries are about dead in the TPMS, might be time for a new set of sensors.
