Tire Sensors reporting wrong tire.......
Here is my situation, the DIC is frequently telling me that my LR tire is low (25 or less). When I check the tire with a gauge it’s reading 32, but the RR tire is reading low. This has been going on since I bought the car two months ago.
Any suggestions?

Go to the tech tips it shows you how to reset the system.Someone could have possibly reset the sensors out of order.You need to get a magnet from somewhere and start with the front left and work your way around,the dic guides you what one to do in what order.
Hope this helps

Sorry now it's out of my system. He's right just do the sensor re-learn.

At some point the tires/wheels or sensors were changed. The system needs to be reprogrammed (very easy procedure) then your sensors will be fine.

Just a thought... but I would check to make sure that the tires are on the correct sides. EMTs are directional and someone may have mounted the wheels on the wrong sides of the car. Look for the directional arrows on the sidewalls and make sure they are turning in the correct direction. If they are on the correct sides then

Before you reprogram the DIC, make sure the tires have NOT been swapped from left to right. Someone may have had both wheels off the car and reinstalled them on the opposite side by mistake. If they installed brand new tires on your car, just make sure the tire rotation arrow is correct and reprogram.
In other words, the sensor positions can be reprogrammed anytime but tire rotation (direction the tire spins in a forward motion) is uni-directional for handling and safety. Don't take this lightly.
