I looked through my owners manual on my tire pressure sensors and I couldn't find the answer to my question, Sure it's there but I had a few beers watching the games yesterday.

Do you have to do anything when the tires are rotated so the system which tire is LF, RF, RR, LR? or does it automatically reset based on where the sensor is located on the vehicle???

I've only drove it 50 miles or so so far but I like it!

 

You have to reset or the dealer has to reset..........
The instructions are in the Manual and it is a pain........

 

i rotated my tires with no ill effects. is there a chance i dont have siad sensors?

 

O/k I found it a couple pages from where I could keep my eyes open last night. Sounds like a fun process!

I had the dealer rotate the tires on mine before I picked it up, It had 26,000 miles and it appeared they had never been rotated by the looks of them. I would "hope" a Chevy dealer would do this when they rotate tires. I'll call them tomorrow to check but I'll still probably do a check myself just so I know.

Thanks!

 

as far as i remember the 08's were the first to come with the sensors, i could be wrong on that.

None the less, if you rotate the tires yourself, and you have sensors, you need to have the car relearn where the tires are, or you will be reading the wrong pressure for the wrong placement.

It tells you exactly how to do it in the manual, and it's quite easy, i did it over christmas.

Basically. you put the car in park, turn the key to on, set the parking brake, push both remote buttons until the car honks at you. At the time it will turn on a blinker for the tire it wants to learn (FR FL RL RR). For the tire it wants, you then have to increase or decrease pressure on that tire for about 8 seconds. So it is blinking for the FR, you let air out of it for about 8 seconds, and it will honk at you. It can take up to 30 seconds to honk, but it honked immediately after i did it each time. When you get done with all 4 it honks at you 3 times, and done. It took about 2 minutes to do. But check your manual to make sure that i didn't leave out a step.

Then once it's done bring your tires up to normal pressure.

masterchief - in your DIC does it tell you the tires pressure for your tires. If it does you have TPMS and if it doesn't, then you don't.

 

I just had the oil changed and the tires rotated. They aren't smart enough to reset the oil life so I'm going to assume they aren't smart enough to do this either. Guess I better check

 

TPS is only on '08 and newer HHRs.

 

Yes they have to be re-learned Turbotech did mine. Pretty cool watching it being done he has a special tool that has to be used. He sets the vehicle up for it, puts this tool up to the tire next to the air chuck the horn honks and the turn signal flashes front left then the next turn signal lights up the passenger front right. he does the same routine honk flash the right rear turn signal lights up telling you in sequence whats next then the the left rear pretty ingenious if you ask me...HOW DOES IT KNOW? anyways all said and done really neat to just watch it done...

 

my special tool was a screwdriver.... just let the air out for a few seconds for it to read the tire.

 

where do u get this special screwdriver just kidding..
i didnt reset mine, i just know that my RF/RR r switchd. LF/LR switchd
