I've never heard of OEMs requiring a special tool for (re)learning 
TPMS's, but its apparently a common-enough thing.  I've only had to use 
some dashboard buttons to push to relearn, but it does look like there's 
some cheap 'relearn' tools these days; this example's under $10:

<https://www.walmart.com/ip/Universal-Tire-Pressure-Monitor-Activation-Relearn-Assistant-Car-TPMS-Reset-Tool/7740856280>

Of course, the TPMS sensors themselves aren't that cheap...

I've not seen that solution (yet?).  It can be interesting to have 8 
sensors active when one paid a tire shop to do the swap and there's the 
old set in the trunk & new set on the wheels.

A clever approach, although it still needs some degree of calibration 
input in order to know what's "too low", etc.

These days, the challenge is in remembering to periodically check, as 
reliability performance makes it easy to go months between actually 
needing a top-up.
