Default Tire sensors problem

Low pressure shows on dash that my left front tire is low.
when I check them physically it’s the left rear that is low!
can anyone help I’m confused how this could happen.

Need to do the sensor relearn it sounds like. If you don't have the tool or magnet you'll need to take it to a shop. Pretty easy to do.

It happened last time your tires were rotated or changed out, the sensors got miss matched to the location stored in memory. Do a TPMS re-learn. I use the cheap tool off Amazon and it works great. I could not get the magnet to make my sensors respond.

I have a different issue. my gauge just started reading "warm" for all four tires and doesn't change. Do I need to do a relearn procedure? Thanks in advance for your help.

Your profile says you have a 2015. C5 TPMS from the factory never say "warm".
You might check the C7 Tech area.

Please repost in the C7 Tech section - the C5 did not have a gauge that told what the tire temps were.

As to the OP, try a sensor relearn and see if that solves your problem.
