Tire pressure indicator issue
Despite being somewhat off topic on a FI forum I'm posting here because it's a possible continuation of my issues....
Car states tire pressure low at rear left. I check to find all ok. Later, while washing car, I find a whopper of a nail in the sidewall (of course) of my rear RIGHT Pilot PS2 ($530 tire
).
So...why the dyslexia?
It's a long shot but, could it be that pulling a motor in some way impacts this system? And, if so,...(help me here kids!).... could I then add this to the ennormous yet growing list of blunders endured since I went FI? Come on, make my saga complete!

It's very possible that the last time (or any other time) you got the tires replaced the wheels were swapped. Re-train the sensor positions using a large magnet or TPS reset tool (expensive large magnet).

C6 tire pressure sensors are programmed with a proper programming tool; you can't use a magnet like you could with the C5.And, to the OP, no, this has nothing to do with your engine swap.
