Default tire pressure sensor (dashboard) giving reading for wrong tire

Hi - woke up this morning, found out my tire was flat. Was indicating the left front, left front looked okay, went to put air in the tires.

Left front was okay - turns out it was the right front that was low. Odd that the dashboard/tire indicator said "LF", when it was "RF". Any idea why this would happen/how to fix it? It seems somehow some 'wires' were crossed or something?

Thanks!

Maybe someone goofed-up the pressure sensor training? I would go thru that first.

Reads to me as though someone has swapped the front tires. I would think it would be easier to swap them back than reprogram.
If there is no possibility that they were switched, I would try a battery terminal clean and reconnect.

Yeah, probably swapped on a tire change or maint etc., I would re-calibrate them and they'll be fine. It is faster than swapping them and much easier!

Reprogramming takes about 5 minutes........Swapping the front wheels is not permissible if the OP has directional tires.
