Problems with your TPMS (Tire pressure monitoring system)?........
We have a 2010 Chev Equinox and every year when I put on winter wheels the TPMS becomes inaccurate and identifies
the wrong wheel for low pressure. It is equipped with aftermarket sensors, not GM....
So this year after buying a learn tool (Amazon $18.00) for the 2018 GMC and seeing it worked great I tried it on the 2010. No go!
Went to see my friend Sally at the GM dealership and she tried with their expensive learn tool and still, no go AND no charge...
So I figure when all else fails read the instructions.
In the owner's manual they describe how to service your TPMS manually.....
Turn ignition on but don't start.
Set your TPMS dash display to relearn.......you'll hear two beeps.
Starting at LF release air from tire for about 5 seconds or until you hear one beep.
Continue (clockwise) to do the same for other three and when completed the car will beep twice.
TPMS has now relearned and the tire light is out. Turn the key to off.
Now bring your tires back up to the specified pressure.
Worked first time and no issues so far with the TPMS. Oh and BTW, I passed this trick on to Sally.....
