There’s another thread on here about this. Seems to be a software / sensor error. 

 

My RST has 1600mi on it and reads 97/98%. 

 

You can always manually check them yourself.

Mine has 3200 miles and mine says front has 27% left.....

 

I figured it was a fluke when it’s says there at 15% i’m gonna actually check them.

This is a calibration issue on the sensors, there is a repair bulletin on it. Mine went all the way to 5% before the service brake sensors message came on. They recalibrated the sensors and did a brake inspection. They said the pads look great and now reads 98%. All is good now.

Definitely a calibration issue, just had my tb lt serviced for a recall and I had them check, the mileage on my truck is 11900 and it said I had 14% life left on the front and 56 on the rear, the service advisor had to update the software and recalibrate them since my brakes were 98% ( -/+), I also had them upgrade the infotainment software to the one with the built in navigation part # 84531832 works great.

I just tried to buy this software card and gm says it’s discontinued. I’m pissed I wanted the navigation option. Did you just have this done? Thanks

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Tire psi

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!

      Open the driver's door jamb.  What do the cold tire PSI ratings on the tire placard show?   I'm not saying to run it to those numbers, but I would like to know what it says.
