How to Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring System on 2012 Chevy Equinox

[@RonPorteous]

Super video. I had been getting a "Service the Tire Pressure System" every time I started up since I put the summers on my Dad's 2012. They hadn't been on the car for maybe 2-3 years, and I wasn't sure they'd work anymore. I was showing no pressures at all, but I followed the instructions and was back working in no time. Only issue I had was that I didn't realize how much air I needed to let out and was almost ready to give up before I got the honk. My gauge showed that you need to take the tires down to about 20PSI for the honk. Thanks again for the really simple, clear instructions.

[@eduardovalencia8969]

Very helpful, thanks, you just saved me $189 labor/parts per tire, dealer told me I have a bad sensor and can't reset this, so i found this video and I did, reset all, now everything is working fine.

[@davidpettengill914]

I hate when dealerships and repair shops try to rip off people. The sensors literally cost between $3.00 & $6.00 each and are easy to install.

[@alexwill3722]

@@davidpettengill914 $3 and $6????? Every place I've checked thy are between $50 to $110 each, that's OM and aftermarket.

I just bought a 2010 Equinox and this just happened. I really appreciate this video!!

[@theamaturepro]

Thank you so much for making this. And thanks for the trip down memory land with the blue intro screen! If I had to guess, I would say Windows Movie Maker. I borrowed my sisters car and it's having this problem. I mentioned it to her and, as if it were no bid deal, informed me it's been like that for a year. I shouldn't need to say that she's 22 and blonde. lol. Tomorrow I'll have her come over and I'm going to have her do it. A while back I talked her through replacing her throttle body over the phone, so she's not totally helpless! As far as this process, what a joke. As a mechanic, it's absurd what they put us through with some of these processes. Feels more like a dance than work. I've never come across this issue and am so thankful I found your video first thing and didn't have to sit through an hour of nonsensical bs as per usual. Thank!

[@donnabrunet6634]

I just followed every step to the T on my 2014 Equinox. The horn didn't honk as I deflated each tire, but everything else went as shown in the video. I hope it works! I guess I'll know for sure in a few days! Thanks for the video!

[@bloomingaccents]

I have one tire that is low. Car is showing wrong tire. Can I do a reset without getting the low tire fixed? I'm asking because I try to do the reset but when I go to the 1st drivers side front tire and let tge air out , the horn does not honk at all. Am I just not letting enough air out? I let a lot out

[@dciencemat2399]

I have the 2011 Buick Regal Turbo, but I applied the same technique as the Chevy Equinox just a little difference in setup and it worked great, thanks.

[@boxing830]

Worked for me, too! When I let the air out of my tires, my horn did not honk. It did work perfectly though!! 😊

[@celesticecrets9907]

I've come to your videos 2 times to solve my issue so i subbed.. thank you so much for help. 💚

[@waltershoenberger]

Thank you. I have a 2019 Equinox. It is pretty much the same as you showing us. The sensor was showing the front right tire was at 19 PSI. I check to pressure and it was at 35 PSI's. I then checked the spare. It was at 30 PSI's. Not 60 PSI's. i added air to the spare then follow your instructions about all the tires. The add air sign went off.

[@josita821]

Very helpful thank you. However, I suggest telling your viewers that they need to have an air pump before they start the process. Thanks again!

Not really, not until he days to deflate air.. but, I’d hope most People would stop at that point if they don’t have access to air.

[@codyhaines9682]

I followed your movement's precisely, but while draining my front left tire till deflation my vehicle never honked. I carried on thinking it would work the kink out in the same order as you. No change's. My rear passenger tire is still showing a vertical plus sign. Any suggestions?

[@alexwill3722]

I have a 2019 Buick Encore AWD and my son blew out the right rear tire a year and a half ago( less than 20,000 miles on the tires ) and we couldn't find 1 of the same tire anywhere so we had to buy 4 new tires. Of course the sensor showed the psi loss when the tire sidewall was damaged but after the new tires were installed that sensor didn't show anything so I'm going to try this method which is similar as it's a GM vehicle but it's 7 years newer so there will be small differences. This video shows what I have always told people who depend on that screen to check tire pressures, it is not an accurate reading, it's more to warn of psi losses of over 5-10 psi. I even have 4 different tire pressure gauges, 3 different make stick types and a digital one. They all show a different pressure with differences of 1-3 psi on the same tire. ps. the tire shop owner told me that if I could have gotten the same make and model of tire and since the other tires were barely worn down I could have used one tire but even within one maker and different models of that same size tire there are differences in the outside measurement and on an AWD that would throw out trouble codes and may cause the engine to go into low power mode making it impossible to drive.

[@TheAromanovskaya]

Hello fella, do you know why the first driving tire doesn't start re-learning? I put the car in re-learning mode, and it honked twice, then I saw the light above the driver's tire which should indicate the tire we are re-learning. Then I'm stuck. Tried to deflate or inflate this tire 10 times but the car doesn't honk so I could go to the next one. Any help? Tried to put a bit more air before the start, but it didn't help. Just changed my winter tires to all-season ones and same issue again I had in the past.

[@martinmacek4187]

Thank you! I can rotate the tires myself (saving $) and re-calibrate the valve stems, so it shows the correct tire on the screen. Also I was going to buy the tool to do this, but don’t need to know with this great tutorial....

[@nr30199]

What's wrong with my 2012 Chevy Equinox LT is my TPMS comes on but my tires are not low. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you

[@jimanruth]

Thanks. I have a 2012 GMC Terrain. The reset worked for me. The horn didn't blow when I left some air out of the tires, but at the end it was all good!

[@yendorofny]

So, at the end you said you'd have to adjust the readings, for the tires that read an incorrect pressure... How did you do that?

[@justinlaboy6837]

Perfect! This just happened to me and i was stumped. Thanx!

[@Dmitat08]

Thanks dude. That pesty light had been bugging me for over two months. Once I went to the info page that displayed all four tires, it seemed to reset itself. Don't ask me how, but it did. Take care, great video.

[@barcejuanpaulo]

Is this the same way to fix the reading of the tires pressure on the dash board? Because my 2015 Chevy traverse has the problem on the dash board the is reading the from tire pressure wrong when in reality is reading the pressure of the rear right tire and backwards

[@Summeramennnnn]

hi I just followed every steps, but the horn did not work if after my tire is flat. do you know how about this ?

[@yendorofny]

How much air ends up being released? I feel like it would be faster to remove each shrader valve. Tires are almost flat and no horn beep. Finished everything and drivers side working, passenger side not. Sounds like I need to invest in a learning tool, for my 2012 LT.

[@twotwosteele]

Thanks

[@markdavis501]

I Just had 4 brand new tires put on. The 2 on front registered as right amount of pressure. The back tires registered a code 4 on left rear driver side and 1 on right rear passenger. Eventually they now are blank. I'm m told I need to buy a tire key until I saw this video 4 my 2013 Equinox. I'd rather save 25.00 if I can. Will try this.

[@p0k7lm]

what a hassel , For 30 years I always use a round tire pressure gauge ( non digital , non electric , all mechanical , the same gauge you use on cystern , well water pumps and tanked air compressors ) with an air chuck , my gauge is more accurate than the digital sensors . 🔩🔧 Their computer air pressure is just another thing to cost money some day when it breaks.. Thanks for Vid .

[@Altoelder]

I'm with you. The new cars are great until something breaks. Alot of it is controlled by computers, so repairing things yourself gets more and more complicated.

[@craftylady3129]

When you put the air and it pop up the sign how do I clear it so it does show? My mechanic was the one he put the air on.

Will this work the same in a 2011 Eqinox. I was told that my tire is dry rotted and I wondered if doing these steps you showed will help me. I dont have a husband cause he is deceased and I have no one to help me. Getting down on my knees is hard to do for me because Arthritis will not let me squat down or get on my knees. I know I probably need a new tire but will the monitor reset itself after I do that. I has always reset itself before. I appreciate any help you can give me.Thanks.!!!!!

[@zeallust8542]

Sunrot shouldnt make your tpms light come on, you probably just need to add air then follow the steps in the video to fix the light

Same thing happened to me. But I didnt do all 4 tires. I just went to the tire showing "off", deflated, then inflated back to proper pressure. It worked.

Thanks for the video. I gave it a try and everything was going well until I started letting air out of the front driver side tire. After draining the tire to 5psi I realized something wasn't right. It should have honked by then. The tires were recently rotated so I don't know if that screwed things up. I eventually took out the tire gauge and found the low tire...and then let about 15 psi out of the tire I thought was low...lol. All is well now!

[@madeleinechevrefils6340]

all my tires are a 35 psi but it still says i need to service the monitor system i tried to let out the air and it didn’t honk at me. i got it down to 5 psi and got scared to go further as i didn’t wanna break the seal. idk what to do now though because it won’t reset
