I keep my owners manual in the glove box just for instances just like this. :)

 

If you have keyless entry then hold lock and unlock on the remote at the same time for like 5 seconds or until the horn beeps. Then starting at drivers front let air out until you hear the horn beep then go to the passenger front and release air until the horn beeps, then the passenger rear, then the drivers rear.

Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code.

 

 

 

Any time you rotate your vehicle's tires or replace one

 

 

 

or more of the TPMS sensors, 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 side front tire, passenger side

 

 

 

front tire, passenger side rear tire, and driver side rear

 

 

 

tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your dealer for

 

 

 

service.

 

 

 

The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each tire/

 

 

 

wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire's air

 

 

 

pressure. If increasing the tire's air pressure, do not

 

 

 

exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on the

 

 

 

tire's sidewall.

 

 

 

To decrease air-pressure out of a tire you can use the

 

 

 

pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure

 

 

 

gauge, or a key.

 

 

 

You 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 need to start over.

 

 

 

The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:

 

 

 

1. Set the parking brake.

 

 

 

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the

 

 

 

engine off.

 

 

 

3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

 

 

 

transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the

 

 

 

same time for approximately five seconds. The

 

 

 

horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in

 

 

 

relearn mode and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE

 

 

 

message displays on the DIC screen.

 

 

 

If your vehicle does not have RKE, press the

 

 

 

Driver Information Center (DIC) vehicle information

 

 

 

button until the PRESS V TO RELEARN TIRE

 

 

 

POSITIONS message displays. The horn sounds

 

 

 

twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode and

 

 

 

TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displays on

 

 

 

the DIC screen.

 

 

 

If your vehicle does not have RKE or DIC buttons,

 

 

 

press the trip odometer reset stem located on the

 

 

 

instrument panel cluster until the PRESS V TO

 

 

 

RELEARN TIRE POSITIONS message displays.

 

 

 

The horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in

 

 

 

relearn mode and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE

 

 

 

message displays on the DIC screen.

 

 

 

4. Start with the driver side front tire.

 

 

 

5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap 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 and wheel position.

 

 

 

6. Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and

 

 

 

repeat the procedure in Step 5.

 

 

 

7. Proceed to the passenger side rear tire, and repeat

 

 

 

the procedure in Step 5.

 

 

 

8. Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the

 

 

 

procedure in Step 5. The horn sounds two times to

 

 

 

indicate the sensor identification code has been

 

 

 

matched to the driver side rear tire, and that the

 

 

 

TPMS sensor matching process is no longer

 

 

 

active. The TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message on

 

 

 

the DIC display screen goes off.

 

 

 

9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.

 

 

 

10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure

 

 

 

level as indicated on the Tire and Loading

 

 

 

Information label.

 

 

11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

A total PITA!! :) GM should come up with a more user-friendly way of doing this. The trick is to let air out for the first 5 seconds and then wait 30 seconds for the horn to beep. It may take several attempts at getting all of your sensors reset.

Yeah, like pushing a reset button on the dash to relearn all positions at once.

it wouldnt be able to identify the sensor locations in that case. tpms systems that dont tell you the pressures at each tire have a single reset button.

 

honestly... its not that hard to do. ive reset mine numerous time for new tire/wheel combos and new rotations and ive never had it not work on the first try..... i really dont know how much easier they can make it......

I have never been able to get the air pressure method to work.

 

My mom's Jeep doesn't need to be relearned, there are receivers at each wheel well that pick up the individual sensors. A lot better system than the stupid thing we have.

I think it works great. I do the key fob thing and make a quick lap around DEFLATING each tire until I get the beep. Now that it has learned I make one more lap and adjust them to there correct PSI. Couldn't be easier IMO.

Ok, that's interesting info.

 

I didn't even realize that you had to do that......

 

I guess I need to make a journey to the garage and get-r-done....

I tried several times to get my '07 to relearn tire position. Took it to the dealer in in about less than a minute, the service rep had grabbed a hand held computer unit, pressed the Relearn Tire Position button, walked around and pointed the unit at the valve stems until the horn honked, and done. No charge. Don't know why I couldn't do it myself. Maybe I needed to try a few more times?

I have tried many times to get mine to work. Never happened

 

 

Just rotated my tires yesterday, here are the steps I took

 

1) Got in the truck and set the parking brake.

2) Turned the key on, yes on and not running. Repeat, not the accessory position.

3) Pushed and held the lock and unlock buttons on the FOB until the horn beeped twice.

4) Stepped out and went to the driver's side front and using the end of a tire gauge deflated the front tire until the horn beeped.

5) Moved to passenger side front and repeated, then passenger rear and finally driver's rear. After the last tire it beeps twice.

6) Went back around and deflated or inflated accordingly.

 

One observation I did make, I have a 2500HD and tires are 80 rear and 60 front. The tires with 80 PSI deflated much faster and it took just a few seconds get a beep. The tires at 60 took MUCH longer to get the beep, so at the lower pressure of a 1500 I would think it would take even longer. Also you have a 2 minute limit per tire so that is why I think it much easier to deflate then to inflate as you can move around the truck faster.

If you're having trouble getting it to work try running a large magnet across the sensor as you're letting air out. I do this on the Vette and don't even need to let any air out but I do on the truck. I have a friend's truck where I can just use the magnet, so I'm guessing there are differences in the TPMS that's making it easier for some than others... I got a big magnet from Harbor Freight for ~$5 that works great. An old speaker magnet would work well too.

I could never get mine to work and after A LOT of searching I found a service bulletin for certain types of valve stem type (rubber I think it was) letting air out causes a harmonic vibration so the sensor thinks it rolling instead of sending position information and that the programming tool was the only was to get them to register.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
