This, which is why its always wise to check tire pressure with a gauge. I've seen numerous people come in with 60 or 80 psi in a tire (44 max) because the light said that tire was low and they just tried adding air.......... Lots of air until it went away. Scary part is some of these people are blown away that it was a different tire that was low and shocked that they almost blew up tire.
Tire Pressure Monitors are backward
I was wondering why, after I kept filling my front left tire, the rear left was increasing on the DIC. Found out the left front and left rear are reading backward. How does this happen? Tire rotation guys? Problem with monitors/sensors? I'll watch here for an answer. And how to fix the problem.

This. When they rotated my tires, they didn't recalibrate the TPMS, so when I got a screw in the rear tire, TPMS complained about the front one.They (dealership?) didn't "reprogram" the TPMS when they rotated your tires.
Not really a big deal now that you know about it. Just keep the switch in mind when filling up your tires.
can you reset the sensors on the car or does it require a dealership scan tool?
It requires the scan tool and takes about 5 minutes. It should be part of the tire rotation.

You can do it yourself on 2011-early 12 models. At the tire pressure screen, ignition on but engine not running, you can hold down the set button til you see "learning mode" on the dash display. The horn will chirp, let 5-10 psi out of the front tire until it honks again. Then on to the next tire. Kinda an annoying way to do it, but it is cheaper than having someone reset them (think my dealer charges $20-30 for that)I rotate my own that's why I wondered if I could do myself good to know

Mine worked. Once. Haven't got it to work right since then, nor do I really care as long as they're all the same value.

Depending on what part of the USA you live in, try out a Discount Tire, also known as America's Tire in some parts. They will either reset them for free, or for a very low charge. When I took off my winter tires (on rims) last April, I went to my local Discount Tire and in a matter of minutes, at no charge, I was rolling correctly again. They are my go-to source for any tire related issues here in Michigan.

I have done my tire rotation twice, I recall the reset seemed to take longer than expected on the second rotation.Mine worked. Once. Haven't got it to work right since then, nor do I really care as long as they're all the same value.
