After the low tire air signal came up and adding air to the wrong tire I found out that when I had my car serviced they rotated the tire BUT did not reset the the tire location example front left came up as front right.. The Mechanics forget about "chirping the tires" at each rotation.

 

Ahh. Then you ought to get one of those TPMS reset tools.

 

Theoretically, as per the Owners manual, the fronts get rotated to the same side rear, and the rears get swapped to the opposite side on the fronts. Not a big deal in my opinion, but interesting. :)

 

Unless you have tires with directional tread, then it has to be front to rear/rear to front same side.

 

So, he should buy a tool to do what he has already ostensibly paid a 'mechanic' to do? I'd take it back to the shop.

 

My local stores charge $5/
wheel to relearn the positions. They don't normally think to ask since many cars don't need intervention.

 

As mentioned, I would return to whoever serviced the vehicle and remind them of the lack of due diligence. If they insist it is an additional charge, tell them to forget it and you will take your car for future services to a more professional facility that provides a complete service.

Go home and initiate the reprogram yourself. No tools required other than an air gauge and a source for compressed air. It is in your Owners Manual. If you do not have one, you can review or download it from this forum.

Read, read it again, simulate the "repair".....then use the manual to do it. After successfully doing it once, it's easy to do it from memory next time.

 

i'll take it back to station or do it myself pretty easy to do

 

Some 09 and all 10s & 11s do require the tool.

 

Not correct. My 2010 does not require a tool. I think it may just be the 2011's.
