2016 Note. Any reason why dashboard low tire indicator would designate incorrect tire position of low tire?
RR was low, LR is designated for low tire pressure. This happened last time I had a low tire, on the rear of the car. Would valve stem caps have anything to do with it?
I found that the tire pressure sensors can be touchy at times. I know when the outside temperature goes down, my sensors usually start to pop up on the dash. When that happens its time for me to get my trusty hand held tire pressure gauge out and check all the tires for the correct pressure, and adjust accordingly.
Thanks for your response. I didn't rotate the tire but possibly Enterprise did, from whom I purchased the Note. I'll attempt a reset, it cannot do any harm.
When a vehicle is able to note which tire position is low on air, it generally needs a reset tool that tells what TPMS sensor is in what location on the vehicle. When a tech is resetting the sensors, he will punch in where the tire is on the vehicle for each sensor.
FWD vehicles should rotate tires as follows:
Front tires move straight to the rears.
Rear tires are crossed to the front.
It would make sense in your case because you tire still thinks its on the LR. Meaning it was then rotated to the RF, and is now on the RR.
According to owner's manual for 2017 Versa sedan, Front tires move straight to the rears, but Rear tires are NOT crossed to the front, but move straight to the front.
One reason for not crossing tires, when a spare is not involved in the rotation and only four drive tires are rotated, is when you cross tires, they rotate in a different direction, and that may contribute to a cord separation and tire failure, even for non-directional tires.
I agree that crossing tires during rotation would make them wear more evenly. The only concern was about crossed tires now spinning in opposite direction, but as you stated it is not more a concern for non-directional tires. Good to know for an old guy who was growing up in the previous millennium.
