Tire Pressure Sensors Crossed

I have a 2013 2SS M6, just discovered my rear TPS are crossed. The readout on the dash for the left rear is actually the right rear, and vice-versa. Is this
something I can fix, or do I need to take it to the dealership?
Thanks!

try doing a reset.
Full instructions are in the manual,
but basically you switch to the TSP display then hold in the reset button,
The left front blinker will turn on and the horn will chirp, go let out 3-5 psi from that tire (left front). When the horn sounds again, go to the right front and repeat,
then rear passenger, then finish with the rear driver's side tire. the system will honk the horn twice indicating that you have reset the system.
If this doesn't work, you may need to switch the sensors back.

You can rotate the tires side to side, that's what I'd do. Did you have a dealer oil change lately, they may have rotated the tires without reprogramming them.

Or just run to a dealer for a reprogram as the manual process does not work on the 13's unless you have the relearn tool.

OK, I just checked, and the manual for this model says that you need a special "relearn" tool, you may have to go to the dealer

page 10-61 and 10-62

He's got a 2013 Camaro and if I'm correct he needs to take it to the dealer or tire shop and use the TPMS tire tool. You could do this with older Gen 5's but not the newer ones. Spartan 1 beat me to it.

I just went out to the garage and rotated the rear tires. Gave the wheels a good cleaning as well. My floor jack will not go anywhere under the front of the car though.

There are lift points on the sides, behind the front wheels. Look for the big flat bottomed domes with holes, or the frame rails with shipping attachment slots, aft of the front clip.

But if the dealer rotated your tires without reprogramming the TPS, he owes you.

Also, you can buy the tool.
