    Hi everyone, happy holidays!

    2014 Prius, Mrs swerved to miss a stopped car, hit the median curb, blew tire and jazzed up the left front wheel. Got it back from the body shop and couple of odd things I’ve noticed:

    climate control starts cranking out hot air at 70. TPMS light flashes several times then stays on.

    Shop said there were a couple of warning lights on that needed to be diagnosed.

    I’ve tried to reset the TPMS light but read it may be an actual issue with a sensor(left front obviously).

    Can the climate control system be reset?

    The TPMS sensor is an easy replacement, just replace and reprogram the new one into the car.

    The climate control should have no relation to hitting a curb. Maybe take it off "Auto" Setting

    You should take it back to the repair shop and tell them to fix you car.
