Do I need to re-learn TPMS after tire rotation?

This was the first time I did tire rotation (everything is stock) for my 2022 1500 LTD LT. Do I have to re-learn TPMS? I have a tool from Amazon but my truck has not thrown any warning. Still, do I have to do it? Thank you.

Only if you actually want know the true location of the tire(s) after being moved

Sorry, I don’t get it. What does the true location of the tires mean? If I don’t know of it (no re-learn), will this have a negative effect on the truck?

There will be no negative effect on the truck if you do not relearn the tire positions.

 

If a tire goes low pressure and you get a warning, the truck may not actually tell you the correct tire position that is low because it did not learn the new location after you rotated them. So be prepared to be confused about which tire exactly is low.

 

Other than that, no harm

When you go through the relearn the vehicle will generally start at the left front and then work counterclockwise. You will go wheel by wheel and wake up the sensor in the  position that the vehicle requests. The sensors will then reflect the position you input.

It won't give you a warning that the sensors were moved.

If you get a low pressure situation, it will still give a low warning, but will be indicating the wrong location.

The sensors will still give a reading -- but the truck won't know the correct location of each the sensor unless you go through the relearn process. 

 

eg -- if you moved both rears to the front, and don't re-learn the positions, then the display will show the pressures of the tires (that are now on the front) as being on the rear.

You can verify this by pumping up a pair of tires by say 5psi and seeing how the higher pressure shows up on the display.

As a side note, it is one of my pet peeves when I get my tires rotated and the shop doesn’t relearn the sensors.  I’m guessing it saves them some time not to do it and most people will never notice but it really ticks me off and I always notice it because I keep my tire pressure pretty tight to the recommended levels and weather changes will have me adjusting the air in my tires.  Now, when I get my tires rotated, I make them aware I’ll be checking it.  At first, I just stopped going to those places, but I ran out of shops to get the work done.

So as not to get disappointed, I do the tire position relearn myself.  This also allows me to verify that the tires were moved to the correct positions.  I use my scan tool to initiate the relearn and look at the sensor serial numbers.

 

@Interleukin6 If you got a low tire warning light and put air in the LF tire when it was really in the RR position, then you overfilled a good tire and still need air in the other one.  Wasted time and put yourself or wife and kids at risk.

I recently had my tires rotated. I run the front at 60 psi and the rear at 80 psi.  When I got in the truck I looked on the screen at the tire pressures and everything looked great...60 front, 80 rear.  After driving it, it just didn't feel right, so I checked the pressures with a gauge.  My fronts were at 80psi and the rears at 60psi.  So the shop had not only not done a relearn, they had not not redone the pressure.  The truck still thought the 80's were on the back and the 60's were on the front.

on 2022 and newer you dont need the tool. put your truck in relearn and drive it for 10 to 15 miles and the sensors relearn the new position

 

 

2022 refresh and newer.  2022 LTD so same as a 2021 has the manual learn sensors still.

Do you have a link to the procedure to put the truck in relearn mode without a tool?

 

 

You just drive it.  2023 once you rotate them, it should sync them almost immediately.  If it doesn't, it just needs to sit off for 20 minutes.  When you drive it again it will pick them up.

80 PSI?  Wow.  I bet that's a rough ride!

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
