TPMS...Need help or advice
Hey folks,
Just put some wheels on my car, and from what I see the tires are low. For some reason the TPMS light says that my tires are low on one side and high on the other. I am assuming that the installer put the sensors back in the wrong sides. My questions is this normal? And if so can they be reset? Thanks in advance

"From what you say they look low" not being rude but have you checked with a guage 
? It is possible the tire guy got them mixed up. Yes they can be reset with a scan tool, maybe your tire guy has one and should do it for no charge if he mixed em up. Dealer may have a scan tool also.
The car has to be driven a certain # of miles to see any new pressure changes shown on the DIC. You might want to lower one tire and drive a few miles, and repeat to see if sensors are in correct corners. Lots more info here if you try a search.
