Opinion Needed: Weird tire sensor issue ?

Weird tire sensor issue ?
Hi guys , just got back from making an *** out of myself at my local gas station...
I had a low right rear alert come on two days ago .... yesterday I put the rear right to 38 and the LEFT rear went up on the gauge ... ?
Today , I just went to driver rear and put that up to 38 and the driver FRONT went up to like 44 ?
So the sensors are backwards -- has anyone had this occur ? And I also got a recall notice about the ignition switch , on two occasions I had the key get stuck in the ignition but that was it. Any input would be appreciated guys ! It's a 2007 SS

It sounds like somebody rotated the tires but didn't reset the sensors ..

It's easy after you get used to it. Its also easier with my wife in the car to read the pressure, but i can do it by myself.
On the DIC, there is a setting to Re-Learn tire positions.
1. When you press the button, horn honks twice to tell you learning has started.
2. Add air to Diver side front. It will honk once when it's identified.
3. Add air to Passenger side front. It will honk once when it's identified.
4. Add air to Passenger side rear. It will honk once when it's identified.
5. Add air to Diver side rear. It will honk twice when it's Done.
Did you notice you start at the driver door and end at the driver door? Makes it easy to get in and rear pressure.
Now, you probably have too much air in most tires. So, set them where you like them. I like 1 or 2 more pounds than the recommended factory 32, but, i have better tires.
You can also identify them by letting air out, it senses change to identify.
We also do this on my wife's grand Prix. The annoying part is they don't work all the time, sensors getting old.
You can buy new sensors, but they were probably made in 2007, since they don't use that type any more.
And yes, I got the recall notice.
