Tried the re-learn procedure this weekend with no luck after trying 5 times.

Followed the owners manual which was easy to follow, the horn beeped at every wheel and twice at the last one just like the booked said but I'm still getting the TPMS malfunction on the dash read out.

 

Done some searching on here with no luck on the exact problem.

Its seems to recognize inflate or deflate at each wheel cause the horn beeps saying it has accepted the change but can't seem to get rid of the error message.

Any suggestions?

:dunno: These things are vodoo

 

Right now, I've rotated my tires and never did the learn and they are still reading but from the wrong position.

I could never get the deflate/inflate way to work for me. I just bought the re-learn tool. Works great and takes about 15secs to do all 4 wheels. I forget the name of it but I posted about it awhile back.

My '07 gave me fits as well. I just took it to the dealer and had them reset it for me. Also, my local tire shop will do it for you if you get the oil changed or tires rotated....that's cheaper than an hour of labor at the dealer, haha. But, if you're still in the 3 yr/36000 mi warranty, just let the dealer handle it.

Were you getting the malfunction indicator before you did the relearn or were you trying the relearn due to tire rotation or what?

 

I was able to do a successful relearn on mine using the air out method but I was installing winter tires with aftermarket TPMS sensors. I have a bad feeling I will have to purchase the relearn tool when I put the factory wheels back on next month.

I bought the relearn tool (EL-50448) and it worked flawlessly and quickly on my truck. As my wife's '09 Traverse and son's '07 'Hoe also have TPMS, I'm sure I will get my money's worth out of this tool.

 

What I don't know is if the EL-50448 will also work on my daughter's '08 Mustang. Anyone know if it is compatible with the Ford TPMS system? I'd experiment, but my daughter is not very forgiving of failed endeavors on her beloved car. Can't say I blame her, but where in the world would she have possibly inherited such automotive anality?

Looks like I'm going the route of the re-learn tool, tried it again this afternoon and again no luck. I read on an old forum here that one person had good luck with the truck away from anything giving off RF signals and steel buildings, so I went out back with the truck away from everything and of course no luck.

OK so I tried this relearn tool I purchased tonight with no luck. Am I doing something wrong? after setting the system in relearn mode I went right to the driver's front tire and held the tool against the sidewall of the tire, near the valve stem but nothing happened. I just swapped wheels and I am now trying to reset the system.

Do the new wheels have sensors in them? And are they the right part number for your truck? The sensor in the rim should have caused the horn to beep once when it was activated by the tool on the first tire within 2-3 seconds. Also check that the tools battery is OK first.

The tool is new with a new battery. The rims are take offs from a 2011 and was said to have the sensors in them. I'm gonna give this another try today. I just wanted to make sure I was doing this right. If it does not work again today I'll try and let some air out of the tire to see if that does it. Thanks

I got it to work today :D The only thing I did different is I left the driver's door open. Last night I was shutting it and it would not work. I did not see anything in the instructions about it needing to be open... who knows, maybe it's all in my head lol but it worked for me with it opened and wouldn't when it was shut. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks :D

Wow! All I can think of is some kind of signal bounce or interference between one or more of the sensors and the RCDLR. Mine worked with the driver door closed, and you're right; there is no mention of the door having to be open during the relearn procedure.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
