The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:   1. Set the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine off. 3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter's L

You need a tool or dealer visit. The air down procedure no longer works. Hasn't since mid 2011.

If you are rotating yourself buy the tool. Will work on just about any GM with TPMS. I have the GM one and it works well.

I traded in a 09 and always reset the TPMS positions myself. The procedure of letting a few pounds of air out to reset does not work on this 2014.... Tire guys did not reset mine so now I either drive 45 miles back to the tire store and waste 1/2 a day messing around or go spend 100 bucks on a one off usage tool. THANKS GM real good thinking there Rembrandt I guess that is your version of painting the edges.......Sigh

I rotated the tires on my dodge work truck and it seems to automatically reset to the correct position. I had a low tire and it was in the right position after rotating them.

Great info...not so good with nitrogen fill.

 

How about adding a second set of tires with new a set of TPMS? I have an ATEQ that I've used on other vehicles to change from winter to summer tires. Or will the new pickup recognize the new sensors so you just identify the location?

 

Did you fill your summer tires with summer air? :D

What would be the purpose of GM and others not allowing the air pressure increase or drop method?

Simple it makes their service dept. more money for people paying to have tires rotated by them because of this.

While that was my knee jerk reaction as well, I don't think it is the real reason. People who do their own maintenance simply are not going to stop doing it because a new tool is needed; they will buy the tool. Also, I doubt the majority of new car buyers buy replacement tires, have tires repaired, or rotated at the dealerships; by far tire stores outsell the dealers in this area.

I've yet to have a dealer charge me for this service.

Just my $0.02. If you are concerned about driving back to a stealership, or spending money on the tool, just keep the pressure the same in all tires. If one drops a bit, stop and have them checked for equal pressure, or do it in your garage. Yes, I understand it's a really crappy set up with GM vehicles (among many other things I hate about my GMC.....vibration, shift pattern, etc.), but nonetheless, not a big deal. I think the only answer, if it bothers you that much, is either spend the money at the stealership, or buy the tool. Personally, for me, I could care less.

I came across the following explanation:

 

Changes to the Service Procedure

GM Product Engineering has determined that in some instances the manual re-learn procedure can cause the TPM system to pick up stray sensor signals from nearby vehicles which can result in Diagnostic Trouble Codes being stored and parts being unnecessarily replaced. To address this concern GM Product Engineering will be disabling the TPM manual re-learn capability from the vehicle software starting January 2011.

whats the solution to reseting a 2017?    i put extra wheels with winter tires on.  put aftermarket sensors in.  (max MX00R1)

 

goto the tire screen.  press the middle button till it goes into learning mode.  Front left marker turns on.

 

i let bunch of air out but doesnt read it i guess.. 

 

Would like to order one of those cheap reset tools.  but dont know if they work or not

The airing down of the tire doesn't work anymore. Either you buy the tool or you have the dealer relearn them.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.
