Default 2008 Suburban Tire pressure dash status

The Tire Pressure Status indicator, indicates the wrong tire, rear left is rear right. How do you reprogram them?

Default TPMS Sensor Matching Process

Welcome to the forum... here is the outline from your owners manual...
You could also take it to your favorite tire retailer and they may do the relearn for free or minimal cost....
Be prepared to move quickly, take all the valve stem caps off prior to starting, don't worry if you end up letting half of the air out of the tire(unless you don't have a way to re-inflate them), its about learning the position that you are interested in, once learned you can air them to correct pressure...




TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. Any time you rotate your vehicle's tires or replace one or more of the TPMS sensors, the identification codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position. The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions in the following order: driver side front tire, passenger side front tire, passenger side rear tire, and driver side rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your dealer/retailer for service.

The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire's air pressure. If increasing the tire's air pressure, do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on the tire's sidewall.

To decrease air-pressure out of a tire you can use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure gage, or a key.

You have two minutes to match the first tire/wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than two minutes, to match the first tire and wheel, or more than five minutes to match all four tire and wheel positions the matching process stops and you need to start over.

The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:

Set the parking brake.

Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine off.

Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time for approximately five seconds. The horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displays on the DIC screen.

Start with the driver side front tire.

Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or decreasing the tire's air pressure for five seconds, or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp, which may take up to 30 seconds to sound, confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tire and wheel position.

Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5.

Proceed to the passenger side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5.

Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5. The horn sounds two times to indicate the sensor identification code has been matched to the driver side rear tire, and the TPMS sensor matching process is no longer active. The TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message on the DIC display screen goes off.

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.

Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label.

Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

Default 07 Suburban TPMS and remote lock receiver

I've been down this road with constant TPMS warnings until finally the module stopped transmitting pressure levels AND simultaneously my remote door lock -unlock - remote start key fob stopped functioning. Apparently these tie into the same receiving module which I now need to replace. Where is it?? Help
