It's on the door jam of the driver's side door. Right around 35 if I remember correctly.

When you change wheels on these, they have to reinstall the TPMS. They possibly forgot or did not know that.

or didn't mark their correct location and have them swapped. once they get calibrated, you have to install in the same orientation, or go to the dealer to have them re-calibrate.

Elliot Tires have the stuf to recal your t.p.s,s and to also check them on the car to see if they work.

Owner's Manual. Door Jamb. On the tires themselves.

im gona guess they broke or forgot one... because even if they put the sensor in the wrong location... it will still read for its proper location if that makes any sense... because when i had my wheels put on they put the right front sensor in the right rear wheel and vice versa... they still read... i just have to remember the the right side is oppisite... i took my car into nissan to get it recalibrated... they wanted 100 bucks... soo im just going to live with them in the wrong spot

The sensors can be reset with the tires on the car with a hand held tool. Careful Alvin you'll shoot your eye out.
