Is “relearning” the sensors the same as reconfiguring the sensors, or re-linking? Only asking so I understand how it works. My front drivers side sensor keeps going on and off. It stopped working the other day, the following day, half way to work the light went off and the sensor was reading the PSI. That same day, half way home the same sensor when out again.

[@johnsimun6533]

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

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.

[@Garrett9779]

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

[@markfeuerherdt2338]

@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?

[@Garrett9779]

@@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.

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.

[@martyn408ify]

Hey bud will this work even if they are no the original wheels? Mine have 19 Silverado wheels !

[@Garrett9779]

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.

It probably doesn't have that capability built in.

[@Garrett9779]

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.

[@johnpali5894]

@@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.

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.

[@Garrett9779]

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

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.

[@Garrett9779]

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.

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.
