The TPMS is located behind the value stem. When rotating tires is there a particular place where the value stem should be located on the hub

Are you seeing a picture of a tire or the word TPMS?

That means there is a trouble code stored and you will need a TPMS scanner to read the code.

Will it hurt to drive it until I can take care of the problem?

No, your tire monitoring system has been disabled in the meantime.
