Tpms not learning

[Quefol]

I have a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 and Just installed a new set of tires and wheels I put new tpms sensors in that I bought from ebay (22854866 13581558 NEW GM TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SENSOR OEM ) I think they are 315 MHz but are not learning am I missing something or are they the wrong ones

I think they need to be activated.

To add to my previous message, I replaced my stocks with new wheels and tires. One of my original sensors was not working after install. I ended up taking it to Firestone. $20 later and a flash of wand, essentially, it worked.

Having a real tpms tool is a necessity these days.

Head down to your local GM dealer and have them learn your TPMS. There is no self learning method on these trucks anymore, you need the tool. The dealer should be a no charge deal. Or you could always order the GM tool, EL-50448.

Costco in my neighborhood does it gratis as well.

Thanks for all the advice but I am using a EL-50448 to learn them but still won't work

Are you putting the truck into sensor learning mode?

[1911-A1]

I found you have to hold the tool against the sidewall near the valve stem.But on my wheels the sensors almost in the center of the wheel and wouldn't communicate,I finally got them to work by using the tool against the inner sidewall.Worth a shot.

How do you put the vehicle/sensor in "learning mode" ?

And do you need to do them in a certain order ?

You go to the tire pressure screen on the gauge cluster and hold in the check mark with the truck not started with key in run position. Truck will honk twice and say you are in tpms learning mode. You then start with the driver front tire, place the tool next to the valve stem and press button on tool. Truck will honk once that it has recognized it. Then move to the passenger front and activate tool again move to passenger rear when it honks repeat and then move to driver rear.

 

This info is also in your owners manual

Thank you. I didn't even consider the owners manual ....

Yup, this is fact

_{For anyone that hasn't done this yet, it is actually pretty simple ..... once you know how.}

_{As BLUE72CAMARO wrote above, there are some instructions in the Owners Manual in "Vehicle Care" Chapter 10-65. Set the parking brake, turn the key to ON, go to the Tire Pressure screen on the DIC, hold the center check button till it honks twice. Start with DR/Frt. , next to PASS/Frt. , then to PASS/Rear then to DR/Rear.}

_{I had an issue that it wouldn't read when I held the EL-50448 TPMS tool pointing at the valve stem or anywhere else along the rim. After several attempts, I pointed the tool antenna at the tire sidewall just above the valve stem and in a couple seconds, it registered and honked the horn. Once I figured out where to point the tool, it only took about 2 minutes to relearn all the new tire positions, start to finish !}

_{Thanks everyone.}
