Very Dumb TPMS Question
When viewing tire pressure on the DIC, is left driver side and right passenger side?
That's what I always thought, if that is correct, my fronts are reading backward.
I did do a search first and did not find this info and we do not have an owner's manual.

Yes
I just had new sensors installed in the front. The procedure after replacement is to start at the left front with the activation magnet (for 98) and then to proceed around the automobile clockwise to program the others. If someone does not follow this sequence the read out on the DIC will be screwed up as it just receives the signal and reports the pressure.

No rotation, everything is correct.
I aired the tires at the gas station and drove home to adjust the air. I usually over inflate a few pounds then drive home and let out a little air if needed.
LF was reading 38 pounds, RF was reading 33. When I checked with tire gauge, the pounds were correct but LF 38 was passenger and RF 33 was driver side.
Rears both read 32.
At least now I know on this car, it's bass ackards.
EDIT - I just thought of something. This is the first time I have checked them on my wife's car and she recently got new tires, maybe they swapped wheels by mistake at the shop.
