TPMS not working, funny engine noise (SS)

I left my key in the accessory position yesterday when I was fooling with the sunroof while washing the car. (oops) The battery was almost completely drained when I returned, and everything was blinking from lack of power. I jumped the car and it started up fine, but TPMS is not working now. It reads like this: RF-- LF--

Ideas?

Also, I noticed a clinking sound coming from the engine. It's very fast during warmup, but once the engine settles to a normal idle, it's about one per second and very, very steady. Do your cars do this?

Mine makes some weird noises on start-up, don't know if they are normal or not, if it breaks, it's under warranty! lol

Reset the tires with the methoed explained on this web site and in the owners manuel.

The loud clicking noise is the Direct Injection injectors. They deal with presures from 750 pounds to near 2000 pound so they are a little louder than the old regular injectors that were only 18 to 25 pounds in most cars.

Andy from ADM was kind enough to explain the noise the other night, but I had no idea about the TPMS reset. Thank you for the info. I'll get to reading.
