Bro you saved me $125 the dealership was trying to charge me to do this

[@GreggFesto]

AWESOME! I love to see people save money, time, and hassle of dealing with shops.

[@holeshot1721]

What foolery they have use doing! Surprise it dosent say rub your belly and head at same time and spin around for 10 seconds then beep horn 10x.

[@grcga5689]

Loved your video, straight to the point and got the job done, simple and easy, the way videos should be. Thank you

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching and leaving a great comment.

[@josetorres638]

Thank you for making this video,they was telling me will cost me 25 dollars for sensor to put it on my new ones,now I go try this,thank you

[@joefudd]

This didn't work on a 2011 Chevy Colorado LT. I tried the turning the headlight control from auto to off 4 times within 3 seconds method to engage the TPMS relearn mode, followed the same order after key on run and in deflating the tires and it worked for me. I do appreciate the youtubers like this man here uploading these hacks though! Thumbsup!

[@JoseLuis-fb2kw]

I have a 2008 Chevy Tahoe Ltz 4wd, and I did this and it totally work! :) I’m happy that I didn’t have to pay

[@BlueDevilChevy]

How long do I release tire pressure will it go flat? I was letting air out for about 10-15 seconds an never got a beep so gave up lol

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching. Not exactly sure how long we let the air out to do this but there is enough air lost that we needed to top the tires off after the procedure.

[@jessietheaztec]

I tried it... and air kept coming out, and no chirp happened. 🤷‍♂️

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching. Did the parking light turn on as in the video? If yes, then perhaps the TPMS sensor in wheel has a dead battery so it will not report to the truck that the pressure is changing? I suggest trying a different wheel to see if the same thing happens. If still no go, then perhaps a trip to the tire shop is needed to get a diagnosis.

[@kevinternes3188]

We just Tried my son's 2014 Silverado, a different dash... toggle buttons on steering wheel... seems to need an $11 tool though. Lock/unlock buttons activated the correct screen though. THIS WORKS ON MY 2007.

[@mercedestech3369]

Great info, thanks for sharing

[@gandl2123]

Great Vid....going to try again. Just did it for the first time and everything was great except I did not look for/notice the lights that would help me indicate. I just went to the front driver's side and was going to circle around counter-clockwise. But, as I let air out of the front driver's side...was like for 30'sec and still no horn. Not sure what I did wrong...going to flatten the bitch on the next try. ha.

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching and commenting. We cut some of the time that air was coming out from the video to make it less boring so you may need to let more air out than what it seems we do when watching. Please write back in after you try again and let us know how it works.

[@nickj4850]

So everything goes to plan. But then my rear passenger tire does not honk. I’ve done different different. Followed the lights. I let air come out for 40 50 seconds. I’ve let it out for 10 15 seconds stopped a few seconds then tried it again. I’ve found nothing that help. Must be a bad sensor? Any advice I would appreciate it

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching and writing in. Based on your description, I would have to agree with you that there is a bad sensor in that one wheel.

[@licolico6338]

Good video my situation is that I get a low tire message but all the tires are at 36psi at one point they were all at 60 psi and still got the message saying low tire presser

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching. Perhaps you have a failed sensor or an issue that will require a programmer? I would take it to tire shop or dealer for a checkout. Please let us know what you determine is the issue once solved.

[@CodysCornerGarage]

What do you do if you don't have power locks and a key fob?

[@T_B_C_L]

Are those aftermarket headlights or factory? They look brand new. If aftermarket, do you have a link where you got them?

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes they are aftermarket, I will ask King Cuz where they came from. You can follow King Cuz on Instagram handle "emans6.6"

On my 2016 you need the parking brake set...then it works.🤯

[@markmainse3387]

Should put some 48" long john flaps on to save your doors and box. Even with a - 10mm offset my wifes truck is chipped to all hell lol

[@heathjude50]

Does this work with a new sensor? I let my local shop change my tires and they messed up one of my sensors.. I get a new one and they put it in but then couldn’t program it to my truck 🤦‍♂️. Needless to say they’ll never touch my truck again.

[@ruggedloveinternational4573]

Yes.

[@ruggedloveinternational4573]

Did this on a 2014 yukon. Activated the learn sequence with the fob and waited 3 minutes. It did it all by itself. Didn't have to let any air out the tires. Thx for the first step tho. 😁

[@katied8324]

I tried to do this to my 2009 Avalanche. I did the key lock and unlock and on the dash it said, "Tire Learning Active". I went outside of the truck and the front driver light was on, just like you said it would be. I let air out of the tire for at least 30 seconds and it never honked, but the light was out and the light on the passenger side was not on either. At this point, I stopped, not sure what to do.

[@GreggFesto]

Hello Katie, Thank you for watching and writing in. We let more air out than what is shown in video, just cut a bit of time from the video so it was not so long and focused on the steps. I personally have not seen an instance where the tire learn goes away so not sure if you are having a sensor issue or not. One person did say they had the same thing happen but I never heard back from them as to what they determined. One way to tell would be to do the tires in a different order so that the original tire that timed out is read last. I know the order would be wrong but if you can program all the other three tires and get timeout on the last tire than this would tell you if the senor in that original tire is bad and causing the time out issue. Please write back when you get this issue resolved so that others may know what to do if they are having same issue as you are.

[@katied8324]

When you say to do it in a different order, are you saying to let the air out of a tire that doesn’t have the light on?

[@GreggFesto]

Yes, That is my suggestion. If when trying a different tire, the light turns off and goes to next position, it will let you know that the original tire you tried has a failed sensor because the computer did not recognize it.

[@creighoughtaling9459]

I see several people have had trouble with the pressure change not being recognized by the TPMS learn mode. I am having the same issue. TPMS goes into learn mode after holding the lock and unlock on the fob. Front/left turn signal illuminates. Let air out of the tire for a short time. Let air out for a long time. No beep to recognize the wheel position. Can see the low pressure on the dash. Wrong position because I rotated my tires. So the TPMS sensors are reading. Was hoping to see someone had a solution. But haven't seen any. I tried jacking up the front left corner and removed the stem and let it go down to zero. Learn mode timed out after a few minutes and never recognized the position. Aired that tire back up. Put it in learn again and did the same thing with the right front tire. Nothing. Time out. I wonder if there isn't something in the computer program that tells the computer not to learn with pressure change. (Just like the pressure level for low pressure warning can be changed.)

[@Tonycallanta1]

Thank you so much for this video! Worked on my 2008 GMC Sierra 2500hd. I had brand new sensors installed in all 4 wheels from custom offsets

[@modeltype29]

Thank God I found your video! Nothing I watched or read anywhere else said to double click the fob! Worked perfectly for my 2011 Tahoe LTZ.

[@GreggFesto]

WooHoo thanks Jon Jax for the great comment, happy motoring!

[@1dashcamboatsandcars]

Good review, trying this tomorrow.

[@chriswhisenhunt5329]

I think it only works if they have already been alarmed before if you buy new wheels you have to have the tool

[@GreggFesto]

Hey Chris, Thank you for watching and commenting. This procedure will work for brand new TPMS sensors. The sensors you see King Cuz programming came with the new wheels and this is how he set them up for his truck. The only thing that would need to be programmed is the set point for "low pressure" or "high pressure" if you run a value other than stock which would require a GM Tech2 tool.

[@JamesBondzX]

Does it work with new tpms , or it has to be programmed?

[@GreggFesto]

Hello JamesBondzX, Thank you for watching and writing in. This operation will work with new TPMS sensors as long as they are the right kind for your system. The wheels on this truck were ordered ready to bolt on with tires and TPMS installed already. We installed the wheels on the truck and then programmed the positions as shown. When tires are rotated we do the same operation again so the truck will display correctly the tire position on screen.

[@laurenanderson2684]

What if my 2015 chevy traverse doesnt go into Tire Learning Active mode when I hold both Lock and Unlock? Do I need to bring it in? Thanks!!

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching. I am not sure if your Traverse is programmed the same way as King Cuz's truck. You might find more info on a forum chatroom or google.

[@atzion9230]

Dos this work on 2012 gmc sierra but the sensors are for toyota?

[@GreggFesto]

If the Toyota sensors you have can communicate with the TPMS module then yes.

[@mrobvious1100]

Cool video. My situation is I have a 2011 Tahoe I had the sensors replaced about six weeks ago and everything was fine. I got a flat tire 3 days ago and went to Costco with the flat tire and picked it up at the end of the day with a tire repair. I put it back on the Tahoe and my dashboard says Service TPMS system. I know he did not do anything to the TPMS sensor will this technique work or is it required anyway or do I just drive around and it will detect the tires back in place with the correct pressure now that it's been repaired

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching and writing in. I am not sure of the answer to your question as I have not encountered the same issue. When you determine the fix please write back in and let us know what you did.

[@mrobvious1100]

@@GreggFesto I placed it tahoe, parked in garage. Next morning i went store, and noticed the alert was gone as I pulled off. I Guess it reset..thanks for quick response

[@BlueDevilChevy]

This is for tires with sensors....mine dont have sensors how can i get rid of the light? I have same tires an rims though

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching. My suggestions are 1) Take the truck to someone with a scan tool that can disable the light. 2) Remove the cluster and take out the bulb. 3) Remove the cluster and install a switch inline on the wire that signals the light. 4) Put a piece of tape or pic over the light.

So do we have to hold down both the lock/unlock button on the remote or just either one will work?

[@GreggFesto]

Both Lock and Unlock

[@zuheyPhysique]

Wonder if it works for 2015

[@rustneversleeps01]

I have a 2011 the right rear sensor quits from time time . Would this process stop that. Or is it the sensor ?

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching. Since it is working sometimes and the system knows the location, most likely TPMS battery is getting weak.

Sorry to hear that. I appreciate you taking time to leave feedback.

[@El_bigC]

@@GreggFesto You bet! Glad it helped other people though. On my 2015 Sierra, I needed to go to the tire pressure screen, hold the middle button (middle of arrows) for a few seconds until it honks. Then it goes into the calibration mode. Problem is, removing the air doesn't work to calibrate it. ☹️

[@dionbryant8653]

Finally the one vid that worked!!! Subscribed!

[@griffenb]

Is there a way to do this without a FOB?

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching. The only other way I know to do this job is with TPMS scan tool.

[@rwolhar]

My horn is honking after the right rear tire and not responding to the left rear? Any tips?

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching. If your horn honks after each tire with exception of left rear you could try to let more air out of left rear or stop by a tire shop to be sure they can read the sensor in there to rule out possible dead battery in TPMS.

[@rwolhar]

@@GreggFesto thanks! It honks twice after the right rear and doesn’t go to the left rear with any tail light signal at all. Weird.

[@GreggFesto]

That is weird for sure. I wonder if it knows automatically that the leftover one is the one that you did not enter? You could check this by letting pressure out of the leftover one after setting everything up. If the display changes then it would verify that it reads the sensor.

[@ramonaparicio483]

What if it does not honk?

[@GreggFesto]

Does the horn work as normal? If no, check fuses. If yes, maybe you need to let more air out until the sensor recognizes which tire is changing?

[@GreggFesto]

Ramon, Did you get your TPMS programmed?

[@jaysteez2025]

Are they your OG sensors or aftermarket?

I have a 2007 GMC 1500 Sierra and did this just like you showed here and once all the tires were down enough where the horn beeped for each tire I could never find on the dash / odometer setting where it digitally showed the tire pressures..I went by the door tag at 35 psi and can;t get the damn "tire pressure sensor whatever" off or get it reset..so I gave up..
