Do the TPM's (tire pressure monitors) need to be calibrated every time you rotate the tires?

Yeah, mine was still reading tire pressure (2 lbs) even though it was stowed in place of the spare and the spare was mounted.

I know this is from the manual, but I personally want to add my opinion on tire rotation. I don't recommend cross-rotation because I feel the cords in a tire set in a direction and crossing them changes their rotation direction. To me this opening up the door to tire problems like separation and chord shifting. Just my 2 cents.

Confused sensors

I just rotated my tires last weekend and have had the Right Rear sensor report zero pressure three times this week. The first time I stopped immediately and got out to check that the tire was full of air.

I am not sure what to do, or if I need to go to the dealer to fix the intermittent problem.

Any ideas or comments?

P.S. I used the manual recommended rotation pattern.

The manual brings up another question: "Premium Tire Pressure Monitor" - Is there another system out there or are they just calling it Premium to be cute. I have an SLT.

I agree on the cross rotation concern. It has never been the norm with radial steel belted tires.

The premium system refers to if you have the evic, where it will show individual pressure for each tire and where, whereas the base system will just chime and light a lamp.

Correct me if I am wrong (it wouldn't be the first time)

The premium system refers to if you have the evic, where it will show individual pressure for each tire and where, whereas the base system will just chime and light a lamp.

I think the SXT's come without the EVIC and "premium" system, so they only have a warning lamp and chime if any of the tires get low pressure. It has to do with how many sensors are in the Nitro and cost of course.
