Only if a different sensor has been placed on that wheel location. Just taking off the wheel to fix a tire and then putting it back on would not change the reading by the TPM console.

But that brings up a different question. If you rotate tires side to side, does that confuse the TPM console? Someone is going to have to try that one.... Rotate the tires, and then let some air out of any of the rotated tires and see if the monitor still works.

The reason I am asking this one is that when the sensors are set up. the computer asks for the magnet to be placed on a specific tire starting with left front, right front, right rear, left rear. So it appears that the monitor is checking a specific sensor at a specific location. If the wheels are rotated to the other side of the car, that sensor is no longer where it was originally set up.

If it does work, then the console is just looking at four sensors. If not, the the console really would have the capability to indicate which tire is low, and D/C chose not build that into the display. Buit then D/C will have to do a whole bunch of resets of this monitor system......

Isn't modern technology wonderful?????

:lol:

And BTW, there are pictures of the sensors in my album.
