Multiple TPMS resets? Short question, long story.

[NWSierra]

Is there another way to reset TPMS outside of the steering wheel button through the tire pressure menu on the dash display? Tried that, won’t reset.  Also tried the tire-by-tire method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc-xL23NSms.

 

Long story:

I have summer and winter tires that up until last spring I’d been having mounted when season’s changed.  Last spring, I bought new rims for the summer so that I could swap them myself. I got Denali wheels, I *paid for* a set of new TPMS from a reputable tire shop up here in the NW and got my summer tires mounted on the new wheels.  I thought I’d be set: stock SLT wheels have winters stock TPMS sensors, the Denali wheels have my summers and the new set of TMPS for the summer.  When I picked up my truck in the spring everything was good, summer wheels on Denali’s, winters in the bed.  No problems. 

 

Sure has S***, I swap summers for winters which is great, but TMPS won’t reset.  At least, the steering wheel method of resetting TMPS won’t work. 

 

My paranoia has me thinking those new TPMS I paid for just got swapped over, but that’s an awful lot of work on 10ply tires… Is there a way to read if I had dead TMPS, or no TPMS at all before go in to the tire shop to raise hell?

You need a relearn tool when you swap wheels/tires with TPM sensors. The steering wheel button on the tire pressure page is just to put the truck in relearn mode.

Yeah they're less than 10 bucks. I'll get one, but seems like this should have worked even without that. I'll report back. thanks-

As long as there have been TPMS sensors, there have been relearn tools. No matter the brand.

If you have a Discount Tire near you they will do it in the air check line for free. They have the tool, but you will need to read your manual beforehand to know how to enter learn mode.

I used to swap summer and winter tires on my SUV. Then when I sold it the rims didn't fit the new one. Sold the rims and looked at my options. New rims are certainly expensive plus having to store an extra set of tires. Swapping tires on rims, also expensive. I finally settled on running winter tires year round. I probably only get about 2/3 the milage on them, but I'm fine with that. Living in N WI, it's winter 6 months out of the year anyhow. Have had no performance issues running them in the summer.
