I think my dealership screwed up my TPMS somehow. I got my tires rotated at my last oil change and didn't think anything about it. But yesterday I went to put air in my front tires (they were reading 32 psi) so I'm at the gas station putting air in my front right tire and notice the pressure isn't changing... So I put even more air in before I realize the BACK LEFT tire pressure show 41 psi!! lol. Sure enough, I went and put some air in the front left and the pressure showed going up in the BACK RIGHT tire.
So somehow they screwed something up when they rotated my tires. Is that even possible? Any idea if this is something I can fix on my own or do I need to take another trip back to that God foresaken place?

You need to re sync the TPMS every time the tires are relocated. It's not hard to do look in the owners man for the instructions. If I remember key in on pos (motor off) press lock and unlock on the remote at the same time the horn will beep go to front driver side tire let some air out until the horn chirps go to front pass tire do the same rear pass repeat rear drive then you should get one last chirp. You must complete all four tires in 2minutes or less or you'll have to start over.
But check the manual to clarify.

I do not doubt this at all. If you complete all four tires in less than 2 minutes do you get a prize? Is this an Olympic event? Well Toto this ain't Kansas no more.

Hell they flashed my TPMS. It is still readi 3 to 4 psi more than what is actually in the tires. Another issueaong with alignmet and check engine light to be done Monday. And to top it off my dealer has lousy coffee.

I just got a warning message that my right front tire is low, but I checked it and it's not ... what's up with that? All the other tires seem OK.

Maybe a bad sensor

I was driving down the interstate and the tire fault came on b/c it said the back left tire was at 148psi. I tried to re sync the tires and it didn't work past the rear tire. So off to the dealer I got, are TPS covered by warranty?
