Removing & Reinstalling Tpms Sensors

Hi Folks,

 

Apologies in advance if this is a repost. I'm curious if anyone has done this, and if so, if you could walk me through the process of moving the sensors from one set of tires & wheels to another.

 

The valve stem can be detached from the TPM Sensor's electronic housing by removing the attachment screw, and can/should be replaced with a new valve stem at each service event.

The TPM Sensor itself can be retained with the vehicle and re-attached to a new valve stem. The Service Part Kit to replace the Valve including a new screw is Part # 15263240 for all applications. The retaining screw should be torqued to 1.3 N-m (11.5 lb-in).

Note: The spare tire does not have TPM.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

 

The reason I ask? My folks are coming out next month and we'll be getting new wheels & tires for their Denali. If this is something I can do myself I could pick up the new shoes ahead of time and do the swap in my driveway. Thanks in advance...

The sensors are in the valve stem assembly but on the inside of the wheel...you have to r&r the tires to r&r the tpms sensors.

Not unless you have a tire machine at home. Very difficult to do with the tire mounted on the wheel.

 

You could pickup up the valve stems from GM and have them ready for your tire guy. Frankly I'd take the whole mess to the dealer and let them do it all including the TPMS relearn, which you would probably be back to the dealer for anyway.

Thanks for the response. This is interesting - my tire shop is telling me that they don't dismount for this (and in fact, they didn't when I bought my aftermarket set - they yanked 'em from my stock wheels & tires and installed them in a pre-mounted & balanced new set). Unfortunately, I didn't watch them do this. :thumbs:

 

The relearn is a piece of cake - thanks to my compressor, this is completely done in under three minutes in the driveway.

Maybe not remove the tire but they'll still have to deflate and break the bead to access the sensor.

It's a piece of cake for my dealer too. :thumbs: Even though I get all the right honks and everything, I end up with a TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM ERROR. :D

Vroom, They just brake the beed on the tire, Near the sensor and remove. You can reinstall them. If you install them in the same position, (right rear, left rear etc.) you won't have to do a re learn.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
