Angry malibu 2011 starts up then dies

Hello, I was driving and my ESC light starts blinking and I feel my car beginning to lose power. So I pulled over and turned it off. When I tried to turn it back on it kept starting up and then it died again. I have a light on that also says service tire monitor. So I decided to enter learn mode and calibrate the tire sensors. Now the tire monitor light keeps blinking on my dash. I successfully calibrated all but my back passenger wheel. It's as if it doesn't exist. Would this not allow my car to start? Each time I start it up its like it's going to then gives out and the light begins to blink. HELP!

So I decided to unhook my battery to clear the tire monitor light. After hooking it back up it started right up....security feature apparently doesn't want to let you drive with 3 wheels . Ordered new sensor ...fairly cheap and now I can at least drive it over to have repaired. Hope this helps someone !
