TPMS Dash Light Will not turn off?

Hello everyone, I was reading this the other day and I also had an issue with my TPMS light staying on. Each sensor was reading accurately, however the light stayed on. I wasn't getting a low pressure warning or anything. I finally replaced the sensors and still had the same issue. Took it to my local stealership and hours later they came up with a solution, the module that reads the TPMS somehow got set to read my tires at 60psi and not the recommended 35psi, all they had to do was reprogram the module. Hopefully this helps...

I have had 3 of 4 TPMS sensors fail in my 2009 Sierra in the past and now the 4th one has shot craps. All in less than 4 years! Junk, aggravating system!

I believe but could be wrong that they advertise longer life than that. If the batteries were replaceable it wouldn't be a big deal but at $100+ dollars a pop each its an annoying recurring unneccessa

I have never heard of a TPMS sensor with replaceable batteries. They're a sealed unit. The rebuild kits simply change things like the seals and valve stem core.

Not sure if anyone is still monitoring this topic, but it seems that I am in a similar situation. I have not had any tire work done in over a year when I had all 4 replaced, but the sensor for one of my front tires started warning me about 7 days ago. The actual pressure in my tire is around 37 PSI but the sensor says that it is only 25 PSI. My tires are rated for 44 PSI. Really don't want to go to the dealer because my 2011 Silverado is far removed from warranty. 

Any other options to fix this thing?

Here is what I ran into with my 04 suburban. I chased that light for a year, New everything.  

 

What I found was the dimmer switch was causing a short through the instrument panel. Confusing the body control module and keeping the tmps light on.

 

I took the light switch out, took it apart cleaned all the old grease and grimeout of headlight switch as well as the dimmer switch. Put it back together with a some new dielectric grease it. I put the same dimmer switch back in. Hit the key and the light went out after the start up bulb test and no more service tire monitor.

 

I know that this sounds unreal and why would the dimmer switch effect the tmps? I asked the same questions. I found the dimmer switch code using my tmps scanner programmer. Thought oh great new problem. Fixed that pro lem and it fixes my tmps system. Good luck to all.

We'll be dealing with the same issue on my friend's new Suburban project. The previous owner did a few lights mod on it including the dash lights, dim, and headlights. The TMPS light lit intermittently after. We'll check the wiring and connection when it returns from the shop for the installation of the brake pads and nitto tires, plus the alignment.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
