I'm sure that this has been beat to death - searched and nothing came up - I'm sure I didn't search correctly.

2011 2500 HD 6.0L

I finally figured out how to reset it after rotating my tires. I bought the truck used and it doesn't have an owners manual.

The problem: after first resetting and adjusting tire pressure it told me that the RR tire was low on pressure - it had the same amount as the other three tires.

The next day it told me that both rear tires are low - they have the exact same pressure as the two front tires.

I have 60 psi in all 4 tires.

Why does it think just the rears are low.

Is there any way to eliminate the tire pressure monitoring system altogether??

I would have to guess I have everyone stumped........ at least 89 of you

Welcome to the forum...
You can find your owners manual here -> Chevy Vehicle Manuals and Videos | Owners Manuals | Chevrolet

As for why they are reporting bad info, you might want to have the battery status read of the sensors at a tire shop... are the tires original or aftermarket, its possible the previous owner put aftermarket sensors in and they are failing....

Pugly

thank you tons couldn't find an owners manual

replacement tires - the problem started the first time I had them rotated - 10,000 miles after purchasing the truck - for the last 10,000 miles I'v just been turning the warning off.

It looks like two don't function correctly - one of them intermittently - looks like a $100 repair something that I despise.

As much as I like the truck there are a few things about it that I hate with a passion.

I have a 2013 Silverado, rotated the tires 2 times now and have had no problem with the sensors. Are you sure they need to be reset when rotated?

Pugly

there's a procedure so the computer relearns their locations on my 2011 - the sensors themselves don't need to be reset -

possibly there's still another issue - I'll try the relearn procedure again today and try more air pressure

Don't the 2500HDs run more pressure in the rears?

After rotating, correct the pressures, then relearn, and all should be ok.

(I think)

thanks Fred - I am going to relearn and increase the air pressure today.

This is one of the problems that I have with newer vehicles. I run the truck empty 99.9% of the time and any more air pressure than the 60 psi I am running causes the center of the tires to wear prematurely.

That's the bad thing about computers is that they only base "data based" and don't deal with the current circumstances - they just assume being a 2500 it's loaded and needs max tire pressure.

Same with the traction control too - I hate that just as bad.

Pugly

Well I fixed it

The tag on the door says 60 psi in the front tires and 80 psi in the rear.

80 in the rear?? Empty?? Seriously???

I went up to 70 psi and the lights went off - dropped them to 65 and the light is still off. More than I want but I guess I'll have to live with it.

It KILLS me that I can't run the tire pressure that I want to run.

Stupid government and lawyers.



I took it off-road today for the first time too - man that traction control is a joke too.

I marvel that I really like this truck as much as I do.
