RE: New tpms sensors
I work for Discount Tire company andi can tell you Chevy's are the easiest of all the makes to reset TPMS. If you go to any Discount Tire store ( idk bout other tire retailers) they have the tools to help you reset the sensors ( it requires a magnet or scanner tool depending on model) The tool will "recalibrate the tpms sensor in the wheel. You have to follow the in-cab reset instructions,l resetting the sensors in the wheels during this process( it involves walking around the vehicle).
Worst case you would need the Identification numbers on the back of the actual sensors and the dealer will have to input these codes in the onboard computer system. But thats worst case.. usually tpms malfunction causes this.. Good Luck Le me know if you need specific instructions i can get them for you..

RE: New tpms sensors
i rotate my tires too and was able to reset the TPMS but now the two right side tires lose pressure so everyday i have to put air on them.
does this mean i have to buy new TPMS or can it be fixed
first i thought it was just the valve so i got new ones but i keep losing pressure what can i do to fix it????

RE: New tpms sensors
I put a set of used 20's on my truck with new sensors I purchased & had no problem gettting the DIC reading them. I just followed the manual!

RE: New tpms sensors
Rotated tires and re-learned the TPMS systems numerous times on both '08 Silverado and '08 Tahoe following the instructions in the manual. The trick is to expel air quickly so the sensors pick up the change in pressure. Sometimes the 4th tire in the relearn process takes a tad longer than the other three.
