Thank You Bro. You just saved me a lot of money. My wife's 2010 Chev Malibu just had a complete tire change. A day later the TPMS warning came on. She was on the freeway and in very dangerous snowy conditions. It showed her front left was out of air. When she called the tire company, Discount Tire, they told her that her sensor was bad. After viewing your video, I reset all 4 tires.... and bingo, resolved. These company's all want to charge you for replacement of the sensor. It's an industry rip off. Discount should have reset the system at the time of the change of tires, they know that. Just like re setting the oil life at an old change. Again, thanks Bro.... easy fix !
Glad I could help!
The amber tire icon will generally flash if there are bad sensors. If it’s solid, it generally means tire pressure is low or the system needs to be reset. You can actually pick up a reset tool online for around $10.00. It’s a lot easier way to reset the system for a small investment. Additionally, some GM vehicles will reset themselves. Inflate the tires to the proper level and drive the vehicle 20-25 miles at 50+ MPH. Again, you can only reset the system if the amber tire icon is on steady. If it’s flashing, you have bad sensors or some other system failure beyond low tire pressure Discount is usually pretty thorough. Your wife’s system probably went into some kind of automatic relearn cycle after the tires were changed. Had a Ford Transit Connect van that would do that.
Love the fact that he's wearing a Ford cap! Good video, easy to follow.
Thank you so much my car is doing the same the tires r good but the light won’t turn off I’m try this when I wake up ✨
Dude just say this and went to go try it and it worked.. I've had this 2011 cruze for about 6 months and always had that light on. And not registering my front right.. it was so annoying to see it every time I started my vehicle.. and now no moo. Thank you so much. 🤘
AWESOME!!! Glad I was able to help!!
went to Belle Tire, they wanted to chage me $60 to relearn my TPM.
VIdeo much appreciated!!...
2012 GMC Acadia Denali, turn ignition on with engine off then press the LOCK and UNLOCK button on the key FOB for approximately five seconds until the horn sounds then follow the directions on the video.
Well it didnt work for my 2016. The relearn started and front dr sd parking lamp came on. Went from 33 to 8 psi and no beep tried from 8 to 60psi and no beep. 😢
My sensor wasn't reading after some battery/cable work. I was going to re-set it like this video shows, so I filled the tires from 35ish to 49 psi and when I got back in the car the sensor was working again! :) Took about 10-15 PSI until it started working again because one of the tires I put a little less pressure in and that still wasn't working until I added a slight bit more pressure. No beeps or anything. Then I released air back down to 35 PSI and the sensor knew. :)
Though there are some other videos that explain this, yours is the best. The fact that we don't need that stupid tool is excellent. Thanks for this!
Glad it helped
Ur a fkn genius! I knew there had to be a way to do this w.o the tool. They just want u to service it at a shop or buy it. Otherwise they'd put this in the owner's manual. Gracius mi amigo
Edit. And oh I have a 2011 buick and it worked perfect
Glad I could help you safe some money!
@@FalconsGarage yes thanks a lot. I dont ever go to a shop unless I deff can't figure it out. Thanks to heros like u lol
Just finished an oil change and tire rotation and was surprised by the fact that it didn't automatically know where the tires had been moved to. Never had to do a manual relearn with my Ford. Didn't even know what a relearn tool was. Found your video and thought great, I can finish this up now so everything's good for my wife next time she drives her car. But it didn't work for me on a '15 Cadillac SRX.
most fords wont tell you exactly what tire is low thats why they dont need reprograming ... and yeah Cadillac are more difficult.
Thank you so much for this. Worked perfect! I was about to buy a TPMS tool when I came across your video.
]
This is probably the coolest thing ive learned about the cruze im glad its easy and no tools needed thanks for the video!!👍👍
Glad it helped!
So you loosen the valve cover until the beep and retighten?
Thank you so much! This video helped me get rid of the flashing tire light. One of my tires wasn't showing up on the system even though I put air on it. I put air on it following the air pressure labeled on the tires and followed this video and worked wonders ^^
Glad I was able to help!
Thank you so much. You saved me a trip to the dealership.
2011 Chevy Cruze LT:
Thank you so much, this actually works! Only took a few minutes my low tire pressure light went off after i put air back in the tires that was alerting low pressure. Thanks bro
GLAD i COULD HELP!
I have Chevrolet cruze 2011 LT but it doesn't have TPMS SENSOR...
Tried on a 2014, no beep after letting 15lbs out or adding 15 back. Looks like I will buy a reset tool.
Good news tho my home compressor had a better air gauge so relying on a service station reading was the problem and the air compressor that came with my ECO isn’t accurate either.
If it didn’t work .... you might have a bad sensor. That would be my guess. The tool might be a little expensive compared to taking it to a firestone or dealer to get it done. They might charge you about $50 I’m assuming and the tools are usually over $100.
Falcon's Garage I might try the generic ones they are $20.
I dont think you can do the air process on 2014 plus. Does not work on 2014 GMC savana.
Didn’t work on 2014 buick encore
Thanks! Worked perfectly in my 2011 Camaro 2LT with TPMS installed in Scorpion snow tires from TireRack! Much appreciated.
Glen Korsen would this be the same for my g8
I have a 2013 GMC Acadia. I simply inflated the tires to the proper level then drove about 30 miles on the highway at 65 MPH. System reset itself. Used to reset the system with the tool until I learned about this hack.
yes, that also works .. Glad I could help!
Great video! Simple and straight to the point! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this information I definitely can use it without the machine
Thank you I’m going to pick up my car to reprogram myself to GMC Terrain 2010 I’ll come back to share my results
Thanks man! saved me some $$, and told this to my local tire store-they didn't know you could do this without the TPMS tool.
2013 Buick Verano and dash says learning but I deflate and nothing happens. Car says low tire pressure but light stays on and no beep. What am I missing ?
IF the car is in learning mode but when you deflate nothing happens .. most likely your sensor is bad and needs to be replaced
I did some research and turns out if you have a push button start you cannot trigger it with deflating. Only works with standard key start ignition.
@@brianhamric4170 even for my Buick verano
Same thing happened in my 2014 Buick Verano it might be the sensor damaged. I didn’t change it yet I would to jump that stupid things for ever.
Thx simple & sweet but enough detailed to understand what needs to be down & how.
Thank you Sr much appreciated, just got new rims and now I can turn my check engine light off, your the man!
Glad I could help
I'm going to be purchasing aftermarket rims. I am so happy you put this video up I have a 2013 Chevy Malibu but it appears to be the same situation. Do I have to get special valve stems for my new Wheels? I'm staying with original manufacture size. Just a fancier rim. Same size. I didn't know if the valve stems are special type?
yes you need to get valve stems with the chip on it to read the pressure .. im not sure if the original ones will fit aftermarket rims
Oh crap! Well maybe I'll just spray my rims...LOL Do you also do this if if you do a tire/wheel rotation?
yes.. because the sensor wont be on the same location as before .. and it will read the wrong tire
I was hopeful, but didn’t work on my 2014 Sierra. It said learning was active, but releasing the air didn’t work.
they probably a bad sensor
@@FalconsGarage Don’t think the sensor bad. They all work fine other than showing the wrong location. By the way, this process worked perfectly on my Buick. So thank you!
I have replaced all my tire sensors twice in Buick Regal 2011 ,due to a service TPMS alert. The indication light went off after reprogramming but comes back within a day. Tires inflated don’t know what else.
could be the system it self having issues
Thank you very much, you helped a lot. Buick Encore 2018.Hi from Belarus
Wide recently bought a Chevy from a used dealership and one tire said 28 pounds,but had over 90 in it lol don't know what stealership idiot did that,but this worked.
For trax 2017 cant finish action with first left wheel and others. Ive droped out air but nothing ..no horn sound. Ive started drop air pressure about from 2,5. Whats wrong? please help.
if you cannot get passed the first wheel is it most likely that that sensor is bad
I wished this would have worked but didnt on my 13 cadillac ats. They were all working until I changed the bcm then stopped working.
Cadillac is usually a different ball game ... you most likely need a special scanner for it
Golden info; I just rotated the tires on my 2500HD and wondered if there was a way around buying the TPMS tool. Thank you!
Glad I could help
Did this work on your truck? What year is truck? Won't work in my 2015 1500
@@ImaLoneWolfintheWoods No it didn’t; tried it a few times, and every time I thought I had it, nope. Bought a Chinese TPMS reset device off eBay and it worked like a charm in less than 5min. I’ve got a 2018 2500HD.
lmaooo ‘did u notice it scared me’😹😹😹 thanks for the tips!
LOL
No problem!!
Thank you for a great vid, now I don't have to pay extra for TPMS reset when I rotate my tires.
Glad I could help!
I like his garage nice setup
thanks! I hope this will work for me! the warning and light suddenly and randomely came on one day "service tire monitor system". I don't want to go to dealership or buy that tool. maybe I just need to put air in it or decrease the air? guess ill find out when it beeps lol
could be a bad sensor.. but sometimes resetting helps
What about a 2017 Malibu Premier same way, or different broski... ?
as long as you can open the system from the dash is the same
So it beeps when its thinks it has the right psi???
I have a 14 ltz and one tire shows low on the digital end but 32 with the tire pressure gauge
no .. it beeps when it has sensed the sensor .. not at the right psi
@@FalconsGarage if my max PSI on my tire indicates 50 what should I keep it at
most cars are 35 .. but check your manual
my daughter has a 2013 Cruze and this did not work. Used menu to reset tires, horn honked and went to drivers front tire to let air out. Had tire at 50 psi and took down until tire was almost flat and nothing happened. Did this twice with no result.
that usually means a bad TPMS or NO TPMS if its aftermarket wheels
3 of the wheels are factory wheels. My daughter's car was hit and one of the wheels was too damaged to use. Purchased a replacement wheel from a local salvage yard off a wrecked vehicle and put on the car (passenger front.) If that wheel we purchased had a bad TPMS wouldn't the other three wheels still be able to calibrate? Would one malfunctioning TPMS prevent the other's from resetting? @@FalconsGarage
David Stacy could be that the initial one is bad. If the wheel you are calibrating doesn’t work (the tpms) won’t let you move pass that sensor to calibrate the others
@@davidstacy698 I had the same issue. Replaced one wheel from a salvage yard. I was lucky in the the TPMS was good on it. Of course, I had to recalibrate all 4 tires.
Same issue here but I know for a fact all sensors are working correctly. They are just not synced. There's another reason why the initial beeping on the first tire doesn't work. Even he cut the video on his first tire and then resumed the video, probably because of the same issue. I'll figure it out
Will this work on a 2020 chevy tracy Ltd? I just bought it (used) needed 2 put air n tires & manual sucked at helping a woman reset the light!! Thank you so so so much!!!!!!!
the relearn yes ... but not sure if you can access the system the same way.
I just changed my seat belts for my 2016 Cruz, and I'd like for the air bag light on the dashboard to turn off, what can I do to turn it off.? Or do I need to take it to a dealership.? Thanks in advance!
you can try disconnecting the battery for about 5 minutes... but air bag lights wont always clear when the battery is disconnected... ...if not find somebody that has an ODB that reads air bad codes... and have them clear it for you ... maybe a autozone or oreillys ... hopefully they are using a bigger ODb and not the tiny one
Anytime you unplug air bags. Always make sure you disconnect your battery first
I've got a 2012 silverado and I've tried this after replacing the wheels and tires. But no matter how much air I release the truck is not picking up the sensors. I can bleed it flat and no beep. My dash says it is in relearn mode and it beeps twice but it won't pick up the new sensors. I know they are good because the wheels came off another identical truck and were working fine. So what's up?
I think since it's a totally different sensor from either a new vehicle or new out of the box the initial learn procedure has to be done to the truck. They work on slightly different frequencies. I think your truck doesn't know its looking for your "new" sensors.
@@chrismann1621 yep bought a sensor programmer off of EBay for $15.00 and just point and push a button. Truck picks up the sensor and in 2 min. done.
What if you start the relearn process on a 2009 Silverado and release air from the front left tire nothing happens so i go to the next tire and everything works correctly from there except i ended up on the tire i should've started with, what is that?
then you have most likely a bad pressure sensor on that side
I tried on my Chevy cruze 13 and I did not beep tire when all the way flat an no beep
Help
Sounds to me like the sensor is bad from that tire that didn’t beep
HA Dude you just saved me money...Thanks man........
Glad I could help
thanks
Would this work if I’m using a whole new rim and tire with a censor already on it? My old rim got bent
as long as is a factory sensor.
I have a 2011 honda odyssey and got my tires rotated now the low tire pressure sign went away but a new tpms sign came on
you need to get them re-programmed
@@FalconsGarage thanx for the reply they reprogrammed by themselves after driving for more than 30 minutes
I followed your steps. Held lock and unlock and car honks twice and says tire set up. My front headlight comes on but after letting out air, it doesn't honk. I tried it for about 10-15 seconds so probably not 10 psi. Should I try again or you think I'll need a reset tool? 2012 Buick Enclave.
dont think its enough time .. but make sure you have a compressor handy
Didn’t work on 2014 buick encore
Easy to follow & supper helpful!!!!
Glad you think so!
Thanks so much
great video boss. worked like a charm first time. thank you for sharing!
Great to hear!
Did not explain how reset. I filled the tires, however still getting warning tires pressures low
lol .. what? i just explain everything on the video .. is you still getting the light most likely you have a bad sensor
Thanks for the video..how long do the sensors last should you replace them when buying new tires
they almost never go bad .. so I would say don't replace unless they go bad
If you have one TPS sensor that's broke, will the system still allow you to complete the calibration process for the remaining 3 tires?
no..
lets say you follow the procedures on the videos and will call the first tire we did tire #1 ans the last one we did will be tire #4 .. if the sensor is bad for tire #2 or #3 the system won let you go on to the rest of the tires until it reads the one is suppose to.
Hope that made sense to you
Falcon's Garage ok I get it. So On my Chevy Cruze the reading for the tire sensor #1 doesn’t show but all other 3 sensor showing the tire pressure shows up.#1 sensor is broken and needs to be replaced
Hi do you know if I can do a manual relearn cramshaft sensor relearn? On a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500?
as far s i know you need a scanner for the relearn
Worked great! Thanks so much!
Your video is wrong. I did 3 tires till almost flat and it didn't work. CZcams needs to be more specific as your 2012 is different than a 2015 cruze. I typed, "How to reset TPMS on a 2015 Chevy Cruze" and your video came up.
Can you read descriptions?
Hi, Do you know if this procedure still works on a 2018 Sonic ?
Can you sync a camaro tps sensor to a pontiac g8 gt using same method???
if they are the same part numbers.. yes
I know this is a year later but how do I calibrate the compass. I have a 2016 Chevy Cruze 1LT
I wanna ask. how if the GM cars using start stop engine buttone, which is do not using a key. how can you reset it?
How much does it usually cost to change one tire pressure monitor system? I also have a 2012 Chevy Cruze
not sure .. dont work on tires
Is this what I need to do if one sensor is reading 1psi after I blew a tire and replaced it? I put a new one on and it still says 1 so I figured it just needed reset
I have a sensor malfunction or something on left rear tire, it doesn’t show any reading for a while but after I drive it for some distance it’ll show and again go away and it keeps repeating.. anyone thinks following this procedure will help fix it?
Probably not. I think you have to get that sensor replaced
Falcon's Garage i think so too. Is it easy to do it on your own or not?
What if don't blow on second sensor
I changed one sensor on my 2012 Chevy Cruze and haven't had success with the relearn process shown. The service tire monitor system light is on now. Any suggestions?
Assuming the sensor you out on is good. You might have to take it to the dealer or a tire shop to have them program it with the scanner. But really don’t see why this procedure wouldn’t help you if everything g is working properly.
@@FalconsGarage thank you!
I bought a scanner and that did the trick! Thanks again for the video and your response!
Great video man very informative
I’ve tried to do this with my Cruze a bunch of times and it’s not working. I’m following all of the steps. I can’t get the tires to beep when I let the air out
Sounds like the sensor is bad.
Can you recommend a good brand sensor that will work for a 2011 Aveo? Two different sensors didn't work. I don't have a key fob. I ended up taking it to the dealer and they get it cleared out, but when I went to leave, the light came back on. I'm thinking it's maybe a plug issue.
I would use dealer sensors
@@FalconsGarage Thinking it may be a plug issue because two places showed that the sensor was working. Who knows!
you could have said if a beep doesn't happen the sensor is probably bad
This process did not work on my 2014 sierra.
thanks it work on my gmc terrian
Awesome.. glad to help!
Does anyone know if this works to learn 4 all new GM sensors on winter tires with separate rims? These are OEM sensors, not universal programmable sensors.
should as long as they are factory sensors like you mentioned
Thanks!
Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t get the chirp out of the tire by letting air out. 2019 Buick Encore.
2012 Chevy Cruze says relearning but I let out all the air and it never beeped . Tried twice !
Then most likely your sensor is bad
I just bought my 2015 chevy Cruze. This light was on, it’s only showing 1 tires pressure- before it showed 2. The tires have air and aren’t low. Will this work for me?
yes it should . but could also be that your sensors are bad!
i have a 2014 camaro i have air on all my tires but the light its still on ! what could it be? bad sensors
aither you have a bad sensor or they are not programmed .. also does it have the correct amount of air?
Hi there , how about to relearn tpms when you change wheel size and the light comes, on 2018 silverado, thanks in advance..
not sure if the dash on that truck has a relearn button BUT first make sure that the new rims have TPS ... because most dont
@@FalconsGarage ok, I'll check, thanks..
Falcon's Garage my new tires do have the sensors, how can I relearn my system? I have a 2017 Silverado.
Amazon has the tool for 10.00. This trick doesn't work on newer models.
Can this work on a Chevy Malibu 2018?
as long as you can access it from the dash yeah
Thank you.
2010 GMC Terrain same
What about a 2015 Cadillac ATS?
Thank you brother
No problem
Please let me know how Relearn TPMS on Opel Astra without a TPMS tool, Will it be the same as GM?
dont know what that is
Falcón do you have a video regarding power engine reduced? I've chevy cruze 2012 thanks in advance
I dont but you need to get it scanned to see what other codes come with it
Does this work on a 2015 camaro? Everyone I talk to says you have to have the tool to do it, It's not push button start. Both left sensors display a pressure. Both right sensors just have - - where the pressure should be. What's up with mine?
the procedure of how to programing them by adding or releasing pressure works on any car .. as far as to HOW TO OPEN UP THE LEARNING PROCESS . might be different on the camaro and even with a tool .. you still need to know how to access the learning program on your car
Thank you
Great video - Thanks!!!
works on 2012 chevy cruze as of Jan 2019
Reverse Engineered i got 2015 chevy and it didn’t honk, I drained all the air 😐
Didn’t work on a 2013 Chevy Cruze i let out the air on 4 tires
Jagdip Randhawa did you get it fix and how?
BricksSelfMade 4.20 nope.. i think i have faulty sensor, i just pay attention to it anymore
Jagdip Randhawa damn okay did you get a estimate by chance ?
Will this work if one of the sensors isn’t working? I have a 2015 Chevy Cruze
no, if one sensor isnt working the procedure... will stop on that wheel and cannot continue
Falcon's Garage
thank you for your response. Just what I thought :( I have a Tpms reset tool which stops on one wheel and won’t continue. Which i find weird, because just before I went into relearn tire mode, that sensor was working fine and reading pressure. Ah well. Guess it’s back to the trusty tire pressure gauge in the trunk. That never fails.
How much time do you usually need to release the air? Approx how many seconds? I’ve tried this for 2-4 seconds, but no beep. Maybe need to release air for longer? Any help is appreciated!
I think on the video I do it for about 10 seconds.
I know you cant do it on my 2014 GMC savana but it will work on say a 2011 GMC savana
Will this work on a 2018 gmc savanna van?
Shouldn't the people that change your tires from winter to all season do this for you? Mine are all messed up. None of them are actually the tires they're supposed to be. I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze & I have about 60,000 miles on it.
MegzToyReviewz yes they should. But most wont unless you tell them. Just like people that change your oil “should” resent your change oil light but most wont unless you tell them too.
But this procedure should work perfectly on yours.
Falcon's Gaming ok, well thank you for posting this, I obviously would have never figured this out on my own 😊
MegzToyReviewz lol. I just realized I didn’t change accounts to answer. Lol.
Sure no problem.
Falcon's Gaming it's ok, I didn't even notice cuz I'm used to seeing that channel name anyway lol
Tires don't matter, most tire places will,but if their scan tool don't work they won't.
Mine shows PSI on all wheels except on one it’s blank ..? Does it need to be replaced or just relearn ?
My 2019 Equinox is showing the same issue. Literally 1 month after I bought the vehicle, we brought it in for the first service, and this happened after the tire rotation (I'm assuming). I'm also assuming that the part isn't bad since it's still new... I'm going to play around with it and post an update.
Didn't work on my 2013 Cruze.... do you need to start at a higher than normal pressure? I started at 38 psi and it never beeped on releasing the air... and I went down to 15 psi.... or does it mean that they TPMS isn't compatible with my vehicle after all (manufacturer says it is compatible)?
if it didnt work .. maybe the sensor is bad
I have 2012 Malibu, don't know how to start the process. Anyone know how to do it without a key fob
does it have that menu on the dash?
does this work on 2017 cruze?
the part were you program it by adding or letting air escape YEs .. but the part on HOW to access the programing on that year .. I'm not sure
