Hi,

I've tried the inflate/deflate procedure from the manual several times and it doesn't work. The TPMS was working before I decided to correct the tire positions. - big mistake! Is there a trick or tricks to doing this. My system has been down for almost two weeks and the dash light is driving me.

 

Thanks,

2007 LTZ :)

It does work, but it takes ALOT of difference in the air pressure before it will set.... I can get the first 3 fairly easily, but the last one is a PITA! It usually takes me about 3x to get it. Don't give up yet!

Are you inflating or deflating to program the position? I find it is much easier to do so by deflating as you can do so quicker. So I make a lap around the truck and deflate at each position then once programmed make another lap and adjust to the correct pressure.

I've tried both inflating and deflating 5-10psi.

Yeah, that isn't good enough, you have to damn near deflate the whole tire for it to register.... and if that doesn't work you need a good size compressor to keep up with refilling four tires in a row to get it to register. thats my personal experiences with these stupid TPMS Pieces of crap.

It times out before I can let enough air out.

 

 

What pressure are you starting with? On my 2500 I am starting with 60 - 80 PSI and don't have a problem. Perhaps you could try inflating them to 50 or 60 psi before you start the procedure. With the higher pressure they are will come out faster and the system may respond better.

I've been stating at 30 - 35psi. I'll give it one more try at an higher pressure.

I usually start around 40 PSI and never have any trouble.

 

What are you using to deflate the tires? Use a pick or a small screw driver so you can press the valve all the way down without obstructing flow. The faster the air moves the easier it'll be.

Why not just buy one of these??

TPMS Reset Tool

 

I have one of these and it takes me all of 30 seconds to relearn the sensors to the truck without deflating/inflating the tires. It is especially good for me since I am using Nitrogen in the tires. Cost me around $100 + shipping to get one. Well worth the money IMO.

Do you have to get the vehicle in the relearn mode first before using this tool?

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
