Default TPMS and tire rotation?

I'm getting ready to rotate my wheels on my 14 RX. I couldn't find what I was looking for in the search box. Does the TPMS recognize the rotation or does it have to be reset?

It recognizes it, just drive down the street to reset. However, the tire positions have changed, since I assume it shows individual tire pressure (my 2010 RX does not, but my 2011 HS250h does), pay attention to which numbers are now the fronts vs the rears.

Me, too. I know there's a thread around here somewhere where someone tried to map which number mapped to which tire, but I think it's just random based on which sensors get read when.

On my 2011 HS250h which shows individual tire pressure I can tell which is front and rear because the fronts have higher tire pressure. Now to identify left and right I would have to let air out of a tire and check the readout monitor it to make a determination.

I rotated today, front to back. There were no error messages on the screen afterwards. Torqued wheels to spec. at 76 ft. pnds. It sure didn't feel very secure at that setting but, that's what I left it at.
Every car I've owned was always specked at a 100.
