Default TPMS Issue

Hello there. My TPMS system has lost its mind. First, it would not accept the relearn the last time I rotated the tires. Now, it's showing blank on all four tires.

I'm assuming this is just the module. Is it the one under the dash on the driver's side, or is it somewhere else? I'm confused.

no idea what your driving so hard to say specifics.
if your module uses a rcdlr…. the rcdlr module is used for all remote.wireless functions. the other wireless functions work correct...so I doubt its the module..check for codes in the module.

if I had to guess without having a code to follow for diagnostics....have all four sensors registered and see if they begin working...any that don't...replace them.

Um...my username is "07ssman." I'm on the Monte Carlo page. What am I driving?

Also, I never said all other functions were working. The remote lock/unlock works when it wants to. It was so bad at one point I bought a replacement remote, which wouldn't code itself to the car. Which is another reason I think it's the module.

The remote start has never worked. Which is ANOTHER reason I think it's the module.

I'm just trying to get confirmation that it's the same module. Can someone please either confirm or contradict this?

Also, how does one "register" the sensors?

Can I PLEASE get an answer for my question? Is the TPMS module the little white one under the dash, or is it somewhere else?

Maybe someone can check service information...all they need is last 8 of the vin or model year and engine.

Which still doesn't answer my question. Service information isn't going to tell me anything if the module has never been serviced. All I need to know is WHERE IT IS.

Service information would tell me where it is....do you think I know where every module is for every car? The first thing service information asks for is make model year engine...and then the service information opens for that build.... U GET IT YET!
