thanks... you are the only one pointed out where the resetting device should be positioned. i thought my device was not functioning or that my sensors were bad.... thanks again
Thank you very much! My GM dealer wants $170 diagnostic fee up front to tell me what you just demonstrated. I don't have a problem paying money for excellent work, however this information should be in the user manual.
Wow I'm an idiot I been doing it wrong. I did front driver then front passenger then rear driver. Gonna try it again tomorrow when it's not night time lol thank you for the help
Just curious. Do you ever get different tire pressure readings by using an old school tire gauge vs. TPMS on the cluster? Is the TPMS more accurate than the old school tire gauge reading? Thanks for the video, just picked up the same TPMS tool from Amazon today.
I have to get this tool. I recently had the change the BCM on my ats for a different issue. After it was changed and programmed, the Tpms light came on and the dealer could not get them to learn. They were working prior to swapping out the bcm. I hope the bcm isnt faulty.
May just need to reprogram the bcm. If they just replaced the bcm and the problem started after that, make sure you tell them that and if they are a good dealership or autoshop they should diagnose and fix the problem at no cost.
Hey so I have a 2016 Chevy Malibu and I do it on the front driver and passenger good and the back passenger is good but when I get to the back driver one it does not seem to honk does that mean the tire sensor is bad?when my tire pressure came on and it was blank on the tire pressure it was the front driver one but that one is finding the signal fine. Do you think the tire sensor bad ?
So am i able to relearn TPMS from another set of wheels? I got a good deal on some take offs from a 2021 for my 14 silverado. Can i use this tool to reprogram those TPMS to my truck? I'm trying but so far no luck with same tool from Amazon.
Those new wheels may have to have the sensors installed in them. If the sensors are in the wheels it will relearn with the TPMS tool no problem. If your current wheels have the sensors then just transfer them over to the new wheels. The sensors are attached to the bottom of the valve stems. So you would have to remove the wheels and deflate the tire all the way to access the sensor. Its one tiny hex screw that holds the sensor to the valve stem. All the sensors are the same so you can take them all off and just transfer them to the new wheels in any order. But to access them you will need someone with a tire machine that can break the bead and access the sensor. So any tire shop, but a gm or chevy dealership would do it for sure.
The wheel size doesn't matter. What matters is if the tire pressure sensors were installed in the wheels that are on your vehicle. The sensors are attached to the base of the valve stems where you put air in your tires which can't be seen from the outside of the tire. But if the air pressures are shown on your dash screen then you do have sensors in your wheels and the tool will work. If the tire pressure screen shows no pressure readings for any of the tires and only lines with no numbers then you probably need to install sensors. If there are number readings but only one tire pressure doesn't show up on the screen then you either need to replace that specific tire sensor or try using the tool first to make sure it doesn't just need to be reset.
What about on a 2018 GMC pickup, fleet truck? All it has is the trip odometer adjustment dial to turn. I hit the relearn option, reset it, but the TMS icon did not clear. The left rear tire pressure reading is blank. The rest of my tire readings are fine. Thanks.
If one is blank and it won't reset that means that tms sensor needs to be replaced. I would recommend taking it to a gmc dealer and have them replace it. They are easy to replace but you need to release all air and use a tire machine to break the bead so you can access the tms sensor which will be attached to the bottom of the valve stem
@Garrett9779 what about taking it to a tire shop, other than GMC dealer? The truck is a City maintenance truck, that they bought used. Is the TMS sensor vehicle specific?
@@markfeuerherdt2338 I would order the TMS sensor from the parts department at a Chevy or gmc dealer. A different type probably wont be compatible to the vehicles computer system. I think they are around $100. The new sensor will come attached to a new valve stem. You can just swap the tms sensor from the new valve stem. It's just a small star screw that holds the sensor to the valve stem. If the old valve stem is good then no reason to have to deal with replacing it. I would think a tire shop would just remove the tire for you and let you replace the sensor. I would try that.
On what year model? Nothing before 2018, that's for sure. Either way if one tire is off you need to relearn all of them or it will throw everything off. The relearn process once activated required you to relearn all tires or it will throw a tire light
does the Check Engine light also Come on ? my Tahoe 2018 Check Engine light is Dimly Lit !!! No Codes but Service Tire pressure light is Also on Tire pressures are OK Currently using Aftermarket Sensors . DID the RELEARN in the FALL was OK
@@Garrett9779 i just Replace the 9v battery in the TPS Tool and did another RESET . RELEARN OK and Engine light Went off , but came on Again DIMMLY LIT
@@jonienglish3231 the check engine light is not affected by the tires. If the check engine light is on then you need to get your vehicle scanned for codes. Autozone will do it for free.
@@Garrett9779 after i did the Relearn Tire Pressure Light Went off and the CEL went off . i scanned for Codes Earilier on with a LAUNCH 70 Scanner - NO CODES ! went for a DRIVE No lights 5 hrs LATER CEL LIT DIMMLY , Vehicle Drives Fine , No Codes . no Tire pressure light on Either .my 2010 DODGE Grand Caravan 3.3L had ZERO issues for 10 years , now go back to GM Gremlins
No. The check engine light will not be related to tire pressure sensors. You can take your vehicle to Autozone or O'Reilly auto parts and they can usually scan it and tell you what diagnostic trouble code set off the check engine light at no charge to you.
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors or rotate the vehicle’s tires, the identification codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position. The sensors are matched, to the tire/wheel positions, in the following order: driver’s side front tire, passenger’s side front tire, passenger’s side rear tire, and driver’s side rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your GM dealer for service. The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s air pressure. When increasing the tire’s pressure, do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall. 5-62 You will have two minutes to match the first tire/wheel position, and five minutes overall, to match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than two minutes, to match the first tire and wheel, or more than five minutes to match all four tire and wheel positions, the matching process stops and you will need to start over. The TPMS matching process is outlined below: 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY with the engine off. 3. Using the DIC, press the vehicle information button until the LEARN TIRE POSITIONS message displays. 4. Press the set/reset button to allow the system to learn the tire positions. The horn will sound twice to indicate the receiver is ready, and the TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message will display. The TPMS system is ready for the sensor matching process to begin. 5. Start with the driver’s side front tire. 6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or decreasing the tire’s air pressure for five seconds, or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp, which may take up to 30 seconds to sound, confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tire position. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure gage, or a key. 7. Proceed to the passenger’s side front tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 6. 8. Proceed to the passenger’s side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 6. 9. Proceed to the driver’s side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 6. 10. After hearing the confirming horn chirp, for the driver’s side rear tire, the horn will sound two more times to signal the tire learning mode is no longer active. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 11. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the tire and loading information label. 12. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems. 5-62, 5-63 2006 Impala Owners Manual
Update; I finally gave up on the “follow the sequence & let air out” method, and bought a Chinese TPMS tool off eBay for $8.50 shipped. Worked like a charm.
What am I missing bro. I have a 2012 buick enclave. I held lock and unlock on key fab and I get 2 honks and it says tire learning on screen. My front drivers light is lit but when I try to let air out it doesn't do anything. Is it because I need a reset tool?
You need to use the tool if you activate the relean which is what you did when you pressed the buttons on the key fob. If you activated the relearn then you have to use the tool to recalibrate all the tires. When you recalibrate if any of the tires don't read the tool and honk then that specific sensor on that wheel is bad. They all need to honk and show a psi reading on your screen when done recalibrating
@@Garrett9779 awesome thank you. I meant the car doesn't honk when adding or releasing air after I've gotten the vehicle in tire relearn mode. I figure it meant I will HAVE to have that tool smh
@@shawnphillips1220 Your welcome brother. The link to the tool is in the description. If you have anymore questions just holler. Remember once you activate the relearn you need to start with the front left tire and go clockwise to each tire. It's all in the video.
Can you help, my 2015 doesn’t display the tire monitor on the dash. If you press the info button, it go’s through oil lif, full economy, trip but doesn’t display tires . I just got the truck and I don’t know much from the last owner.
Are you having a problem of some kind? If you have the basic tire pressure system installed it will just show you a low air indicator on your instrument control panel. Thats it.. The proper psi for your tires should be on a sticker on the inside frame where your door closes. Usually 35psi when tires are cold.
@@Garrett9779 I checked the tires there Psi is ok. I will try to increase or decrease the psi and see if I can put the truck to learning mode. I also have a learning tool that I used for my Chevy travers 2011 and should be the same for the Silverado ( I just don’t know what kind of sensors they have install on the tires, I don’t know if this tool can work with after market sensors)
Yes. As long as there are pressure sensors in the wheels. If your tire air pressures show up on your vehicle information screen (DLC) then the tool will work.
@@Garrett9779 just like your video it’s the one on the steering wheel I have a feeling it was a faulty device so I returned it and ordered a replacement, looks as if it was opened before we shall see
Dale Noble In the time it took you to ask that question on a random RU-vid video, you could have already had your answer. Be resourceful. Look on eBay, Amazon, Google, whatever...there’s lots of options.
If there has been actual readings before then just relearn them all with the tool and procedure in the video. That should bring the readings back. If the tires don't relearn and bring the readings back then either they are all bad and need replacement which would be very uncommon for all to go bad together. Or the tires don't even have tire pressure monitors installed. Let me know.
It’s great to see others post DIY vids, but damn... get to the “meat and potatoes”! Blah blah blah blah... don’t need all the “extra”. Don’t drag out your videos. 🤦🏾♂️
