Default TPMS flashes

I have a 13 Rubicon with the tire pressure readings and one of them keeps flashing and the light is on. It reads the pressure properly but the rear right read out keeps flashing. Any ideas what this means?

I wonder if that means it can't find it. Bad sensor on the tire? But I'm not even aware how it knows which tire is which. So when you rotate the tires, how does it know what tire went where? So you have to marry them some how? Did the right rear get missed in some setup?

Some one posted on one of the forums that it will relearn itself after driving 20 miles I think. I know I just had new tires put on my 2013 with stock wheels/sensors and they seem to be right, although I didn't try airing them down one at a time to make sure. Maybe I should just to see, although it's possible they put the wheels back exactly where they were originally, in which case I don't have a certain answer to this.

I tried adjusting the pressure and it showed on the display the new correct pressure so it's definitely reading it. I do have a sensor in he spar also but it doesn't show on he display.
