BlackHawkZ71 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Got my truck back from dealer Saturday (hvac issue) Sunday driving around my house got a nail or something pretty bad leak lost roughly 25lbs in 3:30hrs (put roughly 50lbs and had about 20.) but the biggest question why is the tpms showing different location? The tire that has the problem
ejdziurka Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 TPM Sensors locations where not relearned after a tire rotation.
Andy Seibel Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 you know that after the tires are rotated, they need to relearn the TPMS locations. you have 3 options: 1. The shop that rotates your tires should do it as part of the service 2. you buy a TPMS tool and do it yourself 3. You do it manually by adjusting air pressure in a certain sequence, which takes alot longer.
BlackHawkZ71 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Posted February 6, 2017 Had the dealership do it at my first oil change Never noticed this before thats the reason i am asking makes me wonder if the other side is like that?

Andy Seibel Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 The manual sequence is no longer an option. darn. I guess I have to buy the tool. I still have one more free rotation on this truck, haven't had to do it myself yet.
Grjfer Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 darn. I guess I have to buy the tool. I still have one more free rotation on this truck, haven't had to do it myself yet. Yeah, I was kinda bummed. My 08 Silverado was pretty easy to do with the user sequence.
ewiski Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 i bought the tool rather have my own tools. it takes me longer to get the tool out than to do it. cant do it manually on the 14 up.

All your sensors are "wrong" if they did a rotate. Tech didn't do the TPMS relearn. Nor, did he do a proper RWD rotate. The front tires are supposed to get crossed and put on the rear (so RF should have been on the LR, and LF on the RR) and the rear tires should have been brought straight forward (LR to LF and RR to RF). He brought what I'm guessing is just the fronts to the back, and either took the backs straight to the front or crossed them.

It was pretty confusing when i got the notification, until I grabbed my tire gauge, i will probably take it to discount tire this weekend and have it done right Cant believe i haven't noticed this before generally they stay around 30psi
