Must you reset the TPMS after tire rotation

NVHoo · 09-18-2020, 08:20 AM

I run the factory recommended tire pressure settings, 32 front and 35 rear. Does the TPMS monitor by location on the car or monitor the rim. That is, if I get my tires rotated, will the TPMS alert thresholds change to 35 front and 32 rear so I will need to reset TPMS, or will I be good to go by just re-adjusting the pressures?

I feel like you need to. The car knows the sensor ID and pressure that goes with it, and when you move them and change the pressures it'll throw a flag.

No guarantee but - it's easy to reset them, and after changing pressures a good habit anyhow.
