Training tells the car which TPS is on which corner.

I understand this but when it said to train right rear it did not "beep" the horn. When I trained the left rear it beeped but the left rear shows xxx's for tire pressure and the right rear shows 30lbs.

Your car is a '99 and if those are the original sensors, they are near the end of their life cycle anyway. The TPS sensors are not corner specific, so just buy one and have it installed. You will of course have to retrain all the sensors once you get it installed.

I have a couple circular magnets with a hole in them so it will fit around the stem for $14 shipped if you need one.
