How to use EL-50448 TPMS Relearn Tool Tire air Pressure reset ZR2 Specific but universal for GM 

Did the technicians not know how to do the re-learn procedure or are they lazy? I say lazy.

Instructions were garbage, this quick tutorial was spot on. Thank you (this worked on my 2016 cadillac ats)

Thanks for straight to the point video with clear explanations

Thank you my Brother! You are the only site on the internet that let me know the HORN beeps Twice when it goes in the RELEARNING Mode!! It work GREAT and NO issues now! Thank you very much!

Thanks broh just read the manual, but it makes it much easier seeing it live ..

hi John, 2015 silverado 2500HD LTZ 6.6L duramax - followed your advice and it worked a treat. Would give a jellyfish a horn. Much appreciated from Australia mate.

Tip- Make sure parking brake is on before you turn ignition on. My 2015 Sierra would not go into learning mode when I applied the park brake after turning ignition on. As for the comments that you don’t need the tool , just go thru the sequence by adding or letting air out. This was true on my 2011 Sierra but somewhere between 2011 and 2015 GM changed it so you have to have the tool. Bless their hearts.

Just used on my 2017 Colorado LT. Worked great. Kept the button held, and it did take a few seconds on each wheel.

thx i was stumped and thought my tool was not working. the 90’ to the stem was critical. 3 of the 4 stem sensors were on the inside of my tires the first tire set on the outside of the rim - calibrated and done !!! thanks!

Bought this one. Worked great. A year later the battery died. When I removed the battery the prongs came out with it and broke. Never dropped it, just removed the battery and no more.

That was my exact situation! Thanks

This tool also works on learning the trailer TPMS sensors included with some 2019 and 2020 Chevy/GMC 1500 pickups. I just had the sensors installed on my travel trailer and it worked just as advertised. The only difference between the vehicle and the trailer is the sequence is different. Trailer tire learning sequence is left front, left rear, right rear, right front. Just go by the horn sounding each time a sensor is learned, as there are no light indications. And when you're done, you'll get a two chirp signal after the single chirp from the last tire that lets you know you successfully learned all the sensors. You also have a two minute countdown timer, so don't dawdle around. Now I can monitor all four trailer tire pressures and temps on my infotainment screen.

Thank you so much I was pointing my tool the wrong way

Thank you so much for the video!

followed and worked like it should :)

Good Video, I have the EL-50448 but it did not come with Instructions or Procedures about it .. Thanks !!

Very useful clip. The fact that the tyre shop messed up meant that something else was shown in the video. By the way, when you Americans start to spell words correctly :)

Thanks for uploading. Got my wheels redone and swapped out and they have the sensors set on the wrong tire corners. Instead of going back, I just ordered myself the tool. Hopefully its an easy fix and save myself the drive back to the off-road shop to reset it and waste a day off of work to drive out there. Seem pretty simple tool to use. (fingers crossed)

I've never had to do this on my Dodge Grand Caravans or my Jeep. I just rotate the tires and everything is good. I even replaced all four of the tire sensors in my 09 Grand Caravan and didn't have to do any programming or learning, plug n play.

So watching your video, you're really saying the dealership didn't do anything wrong.... Since the wheel didn't have a TPMS installed. Got it. Thanks for the info.

Ty vm your video was very helpful on show me how to use my relearn tool

Great video , thanks 🙏🏻

Great video man 💪🏾 appreciate it

Just got the tool and tried....... I recently had a back tired replaced at Walmart last Dec and the back 2 sensors had been working, my fronts died last year and last Saturday I had 2 new tires put on and sensors at walmart, but they said their machine needed to be charged up so went back Monday and got hit with the back sensors were not showing up now and the other rear tire needed to be replaced, said dry rot even though it looks almost new. So I just ended up leaving, not really able buy another new tire / mounting / road hazard fees and 2 more sensors. So I' guess all the sensors maybe need to be the same brand in order to relearn...... On my 2009 Impala you use the keyfob and press 2 buttons to start the relearn, it did beep on the 2 new front tires (I guess universal replacements) but no luck on the rears being found / horn beeping. So I'm guessing letting the air out to set may not work either, I've not tried yet. When I got there Monday they said I could sit in the car but they never set up the dash to relearn or have the car on.......... I was going to have them do 2 new sensors but could not really buy another tire at this time since on SS... Thanks

GM wants 65.00 for this tool . Ebay sells them for 10.00 are these tools any good?

Have 2008 Chevy Silverado but don’t believe it had screen for tire pressures, so chances are it won’t work then???

Just picked one of these up. Tires went nuts after swapping the battery.

I have an unresponsive sensor Knowing that it works. What's the solution?

Worked on a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse LTZ. Replaced one TPMS sensor using Shrader GM. Vehicle did not read the new sensor. Deflate technique didn't work. The VXDAS EL-50448 worked on the first try.

Does this tool works with Opel wehicles? Opel was part of GM.

Whit bmw work?

What do you mean, ZR2? That's a trim of many models. ZR2 isn't a model.

Reynolds Tunnel

Did not order the monitor?

Does this work for subaru?

Great job done Is it work with Toyota hilux pickup 2019

You can do the same procedure by just deflating the tyre with a pocket screwdriver/key. No need for the fancy tool.

Life Hack, use a cheap Bounty Hunter or any metal detector will work and wave it over the tire.

Did not work for my truck it erased all of them now and the one that tire is not reading at all

Are you holding or just tapping the button

You can buy this tool on amazon for $15, but the same exact tool on the GM website is $65. You used to be able to relearn your tpms without a tool, just by letting some air out of each tire. Hey GM, how bout you stop ripping off your customers?

If you have oversized tires and wheel forget it. My truck has 37x12.50x20 tires on it and the tool would not reach the sensor.

Mine dosnt have a sensor and i have no spare and now all of the numbers are gone am I supposed to go buy a tire or a sensor

so you read tire pressure for rear left tire pressure on tire u had inside truck bed and u said u had to take air out of tire because it read 40 PSI?

Is this reprogramming?

What could be the problem when one tire doesn't respond to the tire scanner

work in a mitsubishi outlander 2009?

My tpms tool is not blinking like your ?

Sarai Alley

I tried it on a Nissan Frontier and it didn't work. Some people claimed to have done it in Nissan Versa, Altima, and Xterra using the same tool. It didn't work for me.

Thanks so much, is this battery use 9v..?

Is this the same sequence for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD please ie would you expect indicators to come on to show you the sequence, note instructions from VXDAS EL-50448 p poor

Sadye Walk

My toyota corolla doesn't have fancy tire things like this

Will this work when you get an aftermarket wheels and put aftermarket tpms sensor?

I replaced a tire with my spare on my ZR2 and the sensor went out I bought the tire sensor reader and did exactly what you did. But it would the sensor light keeps popping back up and have to do the procedure again. Does it happen to you too?

I have bought another set of tire for snow with Tpms sensors on all 4 tires can this pair my new set?

in my Opel 2017 Mokka X manual it says that no spare tires have sensors.

Reset device $12.95 on Amazon .

Gutkowski Summit

How much are these tire pressure device

Didn't work for me on tires 305/35/R24

That is complete B.S that the spare has no sensor in it for the price you pay for newer vehicles nowadays. Former GM fan

Runte Loop

Do this thing work for 2016 nissan sentra?

Dam I can't get mine to work same unit... what a piece of $h!t. If it didn't have a monitor isn't it gonna show on the dash?

Or the spare TPMS is busted, that's why it didn't work.

Lewis Jennifer Smith Shirley Davis Karen

Or, your spare has a tpms and the battery is dead

Can I used this device on 2008 Toyota highlander. Thanks

Of course there isn’t a monitor in the spare. It’s a spare lol

Does not work on my 2017 Colorado LT.

Really don't need the tool...adding or releasing air in the tire does the same thing

The always F you at the drive threw.

This is how capitalism treats us.
