Low tire pressure indicator got me all jacked up!

bentarm13 · December 3, 2019

Went out this morning and got a low tire alert for the the L rear. Haul out the compressor and fire it up. Get the gauge and it’s fine, not low at all. Stare at the truck for a while cause that usually fixes everything. On a hunch I go the Right side and yup, tires low with a big honkin’ nail. Get to the shop and repaired.

my question, is there a way to recalibrate the sensors so they are actually picking up the correct tire?

You need a special tool to do the procedure.

I use this tool when swapping my snows/summers or rotating tires... super cheap on amazon and never had a problem.

I'll add the procedure to re-learn below:

-Put the key in the "on" position

-Set the DIC to show the tire pressures, and hold the reset button (right side of steering wheel with the check-mark on it) until you hear a short beep-beep of the horn. Then look for the light.

-You'll see that the driver side front turn signal is on, so start with that tire.

-Put the tip of the antennae on the tire sidewall about an inch away from the rim where the valve stem is. Push the button and wait for the single horn beep.

-Look for the light. You'll notice that the passenger side front turn signal is on, so repeat the process with the front passenger tire. Then the passenger brake light...repeat. Then the driver brake light...repeat. Once you do the driver rear tire, you'll hear a beep-beep which says "you're done".
