Does the tire pressure monitoring system also switch when rotating tires?

If it's a complete rotation (tire and wheel together), then the actual position of the tire pressure monitoring sensor changes, but the central receiver still displays the original position. In this case, the tire pressure monitoring positions need to be reset. If only the tires are rotated (wheels remain in place, tires are swapped front to back), then the tire pressure monitoring positions remain the same as before, and no reset is required. Tire pressure monitoring light on: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, containing an exclamation mark inside. The tire pressure monitoring light coming on indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following 3 reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will trigger if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be inspected and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to come on. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation valve. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged by impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to come on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.
