TPMS is driving me nuts!!!

Why won't this system re-learn the new sensors I bought from the dealers? I've had them chk the part numbers twice and the p/n's are correct.

I go through the whole procedure like the manual states to do, the horn beeps with every sensor and beeps twice on the last sensor and I'm starting at the frt driverside wheel and ending at the back driverside wheel. After all that the dash board reads service TPMS. Took it to the dealer and the same thing happened to them. Anyone else have this issue and how did you fix it?

Personal I'd like to just disable the TPMS all together.

having the same issue here spend over $150 on it so far they can't fix it.... I pulled my cluster and put tape over the bulb... I'll live with the 30 second :Service TPMS message it's not like it stays on the info center to remind you you truck isn't right.... I think it can be disabled with a GM tech 2 scanner... we have one at work I just need to sneak out to the parking lot with it and try it.... No dealer will do it it's illegal. at least in the states it is.....

Just by the tool to learn the sensors with. It's like $60.

I would buy the tool if I knew it would work. The dealer was using there re-learn tool and still nothing.

Do your air pressures show up when you scroll through the DIC? If so you probably have a bad receiver or antenna. If they do not show up at all definitely a bad receiver if only one is not showing the proper reading then you hve a bad sensor. When I use my Orange tester on mine I can check the sensor for Tempature, Pressure and battery life. If all of those are OK then it must be the internal system in the vehicle and not the sensors. It may have an intermitent short or some other connector flaw. I assume that the dealer's scan tool can also test the individual sensors, so that should eliminate them.

None of the air pressures show up on the DIC.

"Update"

I've now learned why my TPMS is not working after doing some searching on here and found a topic about the TPMS receiver. When I installed my GM extended range 2 way remote the receiver for the remote which is the same one for the TPMS needs to be re learned, but it has to be done at the dealer with there programmer, at the same time they re-learn the new 2way key fob. So it's looks like I'll have to pay them a visit and get rid of the message and warning light on the dash.
