TPM Learn Mode Cancellation
The RCDLR will cancel the TPM learn mode if the ignition is turned OFF, more than 1 minute has passed and no sensor Ids have been learned, or if more than 5 minutes have passed for the entire procedure. If the learn mode is cancelled before any sensor Ids are learned, the RCDLR will remember all previously stored Ids and their locations. As soon as the RCDLR learns the first sensor Id, all previously stored Ids are erased from the RCDLR's memory.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Press the DIC RESET button in order to clear any warning messages.
Press and release the OPTIONS button until the display is blank.
Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds.
Important
If the DIC does not display the TIRE TRAINING message, ensure the TPM option is enabled in the RCDLR. Refer to Scan Tool Output Controls .
Press and release the OPTIONS button until TIRE TRAINING is displayed.
Press and release the RESET button and LEARN L FRONT TIRE is displayed, verifying the mode has been enabled.
Important
If a horn chirp does not sound after 15 seconds, remove then reinstall the sensor activating tool.
Starting at the left front sensor, hold the J 41760 over the valve stem until a horn chirp sounds.
After the horn chirp sounds, proceed as in step 7 for the next 3 sensors in the following order:
Right front
Right rear
Left rear
Turn the ignition OFF to exit the learn mode.

A relearn is certainly the first thing to try but there may be 2 problems there.
XXX is normally when the battery dies and the RF receiver fails to pick up the transmitted signal from the TPS. It shows the XXX to indicate that the sensor is not being received. The fact that the other sensors display proves that the system is working OK but you have a dead sensor.
To get a 0 displayed says to me that the sensor giving 0 is transmitting but the accurate reading is not being displayed. That sensor needs a relearn. To reprogram one you have to go through the full sequence.
My guess is that when you reprogram, you'll end up with the RR showing a good reading but still XXX on the RL. That means you'd need a new TPS on that wheel.
Just guessing but post up some feedback.
