I have two new vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitor Systems, 2007 Jeep
Compass and a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. When I rotate the tires how to I
reset the wheel location for the tire pressure monitoring system. The owners
manual doesn't seem to discuss wheel location changes.

Thanks

I don't think you have to do anything.

That's a hard one.  http://www.wjjeeps.com/tpms.htm
for the older ones used a magnet.  The newer ones have
a code that can be done with the DRBIII scantool.
I have heard that after the vehicle sits for about 4
hours (key out) the vehicle will attempt to relearn
where the wheels are.

Since it's a new version I'd just call the dealership
and ask.

the magnet was for calibration IRRC.

I believe it just monitors each tire at each location.  Doesn't track
track them when rotated.

The only thing the manual actually does say is they use the same receiver as
the key fob.

Do you have any info you can see on your instrument panel?
On my GM, I can reset the tire monitor from the dash.

I think Ford has something like that too.

I would assume Chrysler would have something similar.
