Tpms Re-learn Positions Tricks?

[deepstuff]

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,

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.

Mine won't do it either, so when I rotate, I don't even bother.

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.

did you ever get them to re learn?

[deepstuff]

Not yet, I'm gonna give it one more try and then its off to the "Stealer" to pay their $29 fee.

They are tricky....my truck I have done many time and have had no problem but when I do the wifes Yukon Denali it wont work...I've tryed 4 times....so I just took it in to the stealership and they had a tool and just walked around and reset them all for free...so I know where you coming from...best of luck

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?
