I've tried and tried. Did a search and followed every tip and the damn things still will not re-learn. I've tried letting air out, I've tried putting air in, I've tried different air pressures, I've tried driving the truck to get the tires hot, I've even tried taking the guts out of the valve stem and nothing will work. I can't take it to the dealer anymore to do free now that the bumper to bumper warranty is out and they want $85 bucks to do it now. In almost 4 years I've never been able to reset it manually. Everyone I know that has this on their truck can't do it. Sorry about the bitching, but I just had to vent a little. Have a great day everybody!

Take your truck to the local tire shop. They might or might not charge you. I know my local tire store charges 5$ for all 4 tires. You can also a tool to reset the TPMS. Do a search on this site should be able to find the post.

Wonder why, I've never had a problem. I rotate my tires every 5000 miles and re-do the re-learn without fail. :lol:

No problem with my 08, but we couldn't get my friends 07 to work.

Thanks for your reply JFM 1982. The shops around here want $20-$25 to do it. It's not about the money, it's about the thing not working. The dealership told me to just bring it to them when I wanted it reset and not worry about having it fixed, but after the warranty

went out then they wanted some money. I guess it's my fault for trusting what they said.

After I had my tires changed to the factory wheels a couple months ago I failed to give them the original remote so they couldn't do it for me. Neglected to do it for a while and just lived with the light. Finally did it one day and got it on the first try from memory of what I've read on here. Worked flawlessly for me!

I haven't been able to reset my original 07 TPMS with the procedure. I bought a used set of TPMS for my wheels. I never had any problems reseting these one. The TPMS that I got on ebay are the new part number.

I wonder if it has something to do with the TPMS sensors? I have a '07 that had the factory 18s. I tried on 4 different occasions to relearn after rotating the tires. All 4 times, at best, I could get the front two wheels learned and then it would stop and lock up, telling me to service the TPMS system. 4 trips to the dealer, but thankfully they never charged me.

Anyway, last week I downsized to a set of '09 17s with the '09 sensors already installed. Reluctantly, I thought I'd give it one try just to get the stupid warning off. I tried to learn the new sensors and it worked the very first time. Only had to bleed the air for like 8-10 seconds on each wheel. Worked perfectly. Reset all sensors in less than 90 seconds.

Just a thought but maybe it has something to do with the sensors in the 07s? They looked the same, but who knows?

If I recall correctly, the TPMS batteries in each unit are only good for 3-4 years. So I would make a guess that some of you have dead batteries in your 07 models. Just a thought. Good luck!

 

 

For what its worth, I just traded my 07 off 2 months ago. And the whole 2.5 years I owned it, I did the TPMS relearn every time I rotated the tires. They were rotated every 5-6000 miles and it had 45k on the clock at trade in. Never had a single problem, re-learn worked first try every time for.

I can't get my 07 Silverado or her 07 Impala to reset. :lol:

 

And tire shops around here want $15 or $20 to do it. :D

 

I've seriously considered buying the programming tool to do it myself before.

Or something similar. It shouldn't be such a big frickin deal. :D

I've never had a problem with my TPMS. The stock sensors worked fine as well as the 2 different sets of sensors i've bought off of Ebay.

 

I really wish that one of you guys who have issues with it lived closer that way i can give it a shot and see if some trucks really do just not work, or if there's some technique involved..

I think you need a trip to Nova Scotia! Come on up for a vacation... I'll give ya a beer or two just so you could have a kick at mine as well since I can also get to two front tires to sense but not the back ones!

Mine were easy to do with new non-OEM sensors in new tires. I think you have some dead batteries or bad sensors or something too. You sure you're following the directions in the owners manual to a T?

      B07 has a lot to learn. New kid on the block. You sound like a still wet behinnd the ears youngster by the way you respond, calling out someone  and you know nothing about him. Look around this forum at Grumpy Bear input before you spout off.

      Good thing my wife doesn't frequent my automotive forums, she might get the idea of strapping me to a handtruck and leaving me curbside for the pickers day before garbage pickup!

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Okay boys and girls I put a bottle of this in Dizzy the oil burning guineapig after a tank between the coil and plug service of the #3 hole and near the end of the first R&P 5W30 attempt. As a note I did a two R&P oil changes back in October of 2025 with little effect. Granted they were 1K mile a shot oil changes so.... Then followed by fourteen  1K mile changes of Mobil 1 Euro 5W30 FS. Also ineffective.    Anyone who has followed the adventures of Dizzy may remember that to put the oil on the full mark of the published nominal 5 quart change I withhold about a cup of oil. That over the last 50K miles the P0420 light has been a frequent flyer, sometimes three or four a day. And that even on 93 octane fuel she registers some KR even in moderate conditions on favorable days on slight inclines. Lastly when giving her a kick in the pants, something done about once a week, she looks like a diesel with the pump turned up. 😬   After one bottle and over the last 500 miles of a 3K mile OCI, of the first oil change I dropped the nastiest looking oil ever in her history. That's saying something as  you will recall I have used AutoRx, HP EC30/40 and a few other harsh solvents in her before including the GM top soak twice. This was syrup. Black stinky, inky syrup but the filter wasn't all that bad.    On the second fill I had to use the entire 5 quarts to reach the full mark. That was unexpected! The ignition KR is completely gone! Even at 99% engine load. MAP is much lower. Level road is now 9.8 instead of 12.5. Fuel economy is remarkably higher and for the first time since her earliest days she will spin to 6500, more than a thousand higher with out laying down dead. Yes, the coil and plug had something to do with that but remember the first 2500 miles after that repair on the first change it was same ole same ole Dizzy. Seems we have top rings that are somewhat functional again. P0420 code only comes on now if run in town for more than an hour of stop and go. On the open road it goes weeks without a incident. Perhaps it is cleaning the cat on the pass through?  Fuel Trims have improved as well. Nothing not to like.    To early to say about oil economy but the changes to date in the operational aspect is remarkable. I can't think of a worse case than Dizzy.... It's already paid for itself in a few tanks of fuel with the mpg improvement.    @OnTheReel, I'd say if the Jeep didn't respond perhaps there wasn't an issue to respond to.    I've run the Red Line SI-1, AMSOIL fuel cleaner, GUMOUT and Techron all in this SUV without any such results. Color me impressed. I'll be running out my supplies of the list mentioned and moving on to the Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      Hey Chuck !!Thanks for the all the info I'm an old fart and I have everything I need for the oil change at home,minus flexibility .... and I’ve been doing my own oil changes for 40 years. I just didn’t want to end up without a crush washer or with the wrong one in my stash and have to walk to the auto parts store, lol. I climbed under the truck to check the location, and man, it’s going to be the easiest oil change and filter swap in the last 40 years—right up there with my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4. No mess, nothing to drip on—just perfect. I’ve got one more free oil change to use, and then that’s it with the dealership!
