Default TPMS shows left rear is at 11 lbs.

2000 FRC fired up today and it said that the left rear was low with 11 lbs. Checked pressure and it was right on. Reprogramed TPMS per instructions and the 11 lbs. moved to the right rear. Whats up? Thanks.....

How old are the batteries? If they are OEM, expect XXX next. Might need new sensors.

How much pressure did the right rear have in it? The car will accept any order you program, so if you program the rr when the display says lr, you'll be reading the wrong wheel on the display. I assume you started with the lf, rf, rr, lr? The next step would be to measure pressure in all four and see if any are actually at 11 psi.

All tires had the proper pressure in them. When resetting, I started with the left front and went clock wise. These are 13 years old. Can't figure out why it switched from the left to the right.

Only thing I can think of is they were programmed out of order or the wheels swapped sides at some time.
