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?

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
