There are more knowledgeable people on this forum regarding TPMS and I hope they will chime in, but it's my understanding that the TPMS sensors (they are attached to the valve stem inside the wheel) are programmed to the car. This is why swapping them out (from trading wheels and tires) will cause a TPMS warning light. You need to have them programmed to your car and I believe it requires specialized devices. I think a tire shop may be able to assist you with that.

Here's a lot of info on the Kizashi's TPMS and programming them:
