Had my EVAP solenoid replaced recently. Not sure if they did a re-flash or update, but something isn't quite right. Went to top off my tires with some air and could not figure out why the PSI wasn't increasing for my tire. Whoops... looks like the diagram is mirrored! I was filling driver's front tire and the gauge in the dash was showing increased PSI for the passenger's side. Something smells fishy...

Did they rotate the tires? Maybe they rotated them and didn't relearn the tpms.

I did have a new set of tires installed recently... maybe that's it. I'm no expert, but that's kinda weird to have to reset the computer for simply swapping out some tires. I'm guessing there is more to it than that?

that sounds about right

Well if that wheel was originally in a different location than it is now it's gonna show up in the original spot.

The problem is not the tires but the wheels. It sounds like they swapped the wheels left to right. This is not really a big deal as long as they are recalibrated, which apparently they did NOT do. On a 2010-11 you can do it yourself, but 2012+ needs specialized tools.

When I got new tires I reminded them:
1 - I am getting directional tires (BFG G-Force) so they must be mounted in the correct direction.
2 - The wheel TPMS are calibrated to their current locations. You move them you must recalibrate.

They got item 2 right, but sure enough, right front tire was backwards. Never trust the tire guys.
