Re-learn TPMS after tire rotation?

Certainly is possible. Any way you can tell if they are TPMS just by looking at the valve stem? I know it actually sits inside the rim just looking for best case scenario  
I'm not sure if you can tell without actually removing the tire. Maybe take it to a dealer and have them check it.

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.

dealer can check, they have a tool that will even show the serial number of the tpms, I saw a video where they were using it to prove ownership when recovering stolen wheels.

Ending up getting a hold of the guy that sold me them... He removed them, problem solved. Looks like I'll have to pick some up.

Well, that sucks but it does explain things. On the bright side at least your TPMS re-learn tool is not broken.

Hey everyone, I have a 2015 2500 hd gasser and the EL-50448 TPMS reset tool for $17 bucks on eBay worked like a charm. Took me all of 30 seconds. Sometimes you win, woohoo!! Autelshop is the seller on eBay.

I have been getting the best deals on tires from America's Tire store and they include free lifetime wheel balancing (important with heavy truck tires) and free tire rotation. About 25% of the time the guy remembers to redo the pressure sensors so I have to check when I first get into the truck that are is correct. If not I get the fellow to correct the settings and he uses the electronic device to do this.

 

I have done this myself when I realized the problem only after getting home and although letting the air out is simple enough it drops the tire pressure by more than 5 PSI per tire and so I need to get out the electric compressor and add air to each tire. My truck's tires take 80 PSI and most gas stations' compressors are not up to the task so I have my own Viair 400P compressor. Easiest to have the tire store do the rotation and rebalancing every 5,000 miles.

I'm still having problems with a relearn tool for the TSPM on a 2014 Silverado I don't want to go to a dealer the tool they recommend is close to a $1000.00 I do almost all the work on my truck and I know someone out there has mastered the way of relearning the location of the tires at a lower cost please can you help me out or maybe GM want's to rethink what they are doing so us monkey wrench guys can work on our own trucks because they are a part of our family ?

Did you buy the TPMS tool? If so you begin with driver tire, second passenger front then passenger rear and last driver rear

Did you actually buy a re-learn tool listed above?

 

Most of the posts in this thread are written by people who’ve bought a tool from Amazon or EBay who’ve had success.

 

There’s also a video showing the procedure on relearning the sensor positions in case you’re having a problem with the tool.

 

Kinda seems like you didn’t bother reading the old posts and would just like everything spoon fed to you.

Go to a dealer and politely ask them if they can relearn the TPMSS after you had the tires rotated.  I did, and they did it for free, Took all of 30 seconds.  

 

On a side note, I bought a cheap tpms tool on amazon and have yet to use it.  I need to rotate my tires here soon, so it might happen today.  Lol.

Shell out the $13 here:

You need to put your DIC into relearn mode.  The Owners Manual tells you how to do this.  I use this tool very often on 3 different GM vehicles without any problems.  The whole process to relearn all 4 tires takes about 30 seconds ...

Without the tool, this Relearn seems a bit of a pain      :loser:.... considering that the TPMS valves themselves are pricy.

One would think at this price they could learn the damn pressure in the tire themselves after a few miles.

most all shops will have the relearn tool no need to go to the dealer.

      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.

      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 😆

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
