It is caused from data interference by the bypass module. A different firmware will need to be used or a different bypass all together. If Frys recently installed it, then they should be responsible to fix under warranty.

SOURCE: I have a 1998 Chevy cavalier with Avital 3200

it sounds like its the bypass module. When it doesnt start the car goes into security mode and wont let it start for up to 15 minutes. I would check the bypass module to see if it still has power or has been reset, if its not something you can do, bring it to a local mobile electronics shop and they should be able to take care of it for ya.

My 2008 Kia Sportage almost always has TPMS AND OR ESC dash lights on. Been to dealer multiple times...keeps recurring. Car also dies while idling and recently won't start without jump. Dealer says...

could be but it is up to the dealer to fix it under warranty regardless of the warranty period running out
faults reported during a warranty period but not fixed remain under warranty until they are fixed
The dealer may argue this so get a lawyer involved and talk to kia head office and report the dealer incompenence

Looking for user manual for Kia Sportage 2008

I would probably just spring for a Chilton's or Haynes manual. Much better, much more detailed info, and for only around $20. These manuals pay for themselves after just one or two issues are fixed.

P.S. - It will be the actual manual in PDF version, so it will not have as much detailed info, but you can get an instant PDF dowload here: http://www.erepairmanual.com/detail_151_2005-2008+KIA+SPORTAGE+Service+Repair+Manual OR just google: "2008 KIA SPORTAGE MANUAL PDF FREE DOWNLOAD" and you should be able to come up with one online.

Good luck!

Tpms light is on have a 2008 kia sportage

TPMS is the tire pressure monitoring system. This is usually because one of your tires is low.
Here is what KIA says about it:
Once the low pressure tire is reinflamed to the recommended pressure and installed on the vehicle, the TPMS malfunction indicator and the low tire pressure telltale will be extinguished. If the low pressure and TPMS malfunction indicators are not extinguished after about 20 minutes of continuos driving, please visit an authorized KIA Dealer.

If you have to bring it to the dealer, they will most likely have to replace one of the tire pressure sensors.

Thanks for asking and good luck!

After replacing a broken tire pressure sensor the tpms light came on. How do I reset it or turn it off? 2006 Kia Sportage.

The 2006 tire pressure monitoring system will automatically reset after driving approximately 20minutes above 20MPH. It is important to note that if you go below 20MPH during this diagnostic drive cycle the counter in the TPMS module wil reset requiring you to start over. The easiest thing to do is go on a highway. If after this drive cycle the TPMS warning light is still in you most likely have another problem in the system with a code stored in the module.

TPMS light on 2006 Kia Sportage

Your Tire Pressure Management System is extremely sensitive. Some makes are known to trip with just 5-8 psi. difference. Have the pressure checked again on all tires including the spare. Make sure the spare is up to proper inflation. VERY important. It is possible that the sensor inside the tire as well as any wiring associated with the system under the wheel wells could have been damaged. Start by making sure the pressures are all within system range. The owners manual will stipulate this and all info you may need to troubleshoot on your own. good luck.
