I believe a battery resides in your sensor inside the tire.

Welcome Aboard, we hope you enjoy the car!

Typically-

1. Sensor or sensor battery is going bad. Sometimes reprogramming all four will help, or replace and reprogram. Sensors are said to last 10 years so you are getting closer to that point.
or
2. Some work was done on your car in the past, and sensors got switched around. Could be that it's actually your right front that is flat. Use a hand gauge to check each tire. Reprogram all four if needed.

Good luck to you.

Likely a failed sensor. You can try having them re-learned and see if that helps. Otherwise, have a tire shop, that is qualified to deal with your tires, replace the sensor.
