My hhr is a one owner car, me.

I'm just going to take it to the dealer, I really don't have time to fool with it.

Overall, the car's been fine, but this is poor product design. There is no reason why the position can't be set in the sensor at each wheelwell instead of the wheel.

 

Mongo....

It's not a poor design. You're one of only a few who has complained about it. Besides ALMOST every manufacturer has the set under almost the same procedure. SOME you, as the owner, can't even reset. The vehicle must be taken to a dealer..OR... you would need to buy a electronic tool to DIY.

I do understand your frustration, however. And the dealer should find out why you could not do the reset..

By the way, you mentioned changing tire sizes....so you have GM TPM's in all the different tires? Did you try one or more of the tires that previously provided the signal?

 

I was going to ask the same thing?!?

 

Small piece of pvc pipe sealed at both ends large enough to mount all the sensors...pump up to 32 psi..throw in trunk..and happy days

 

I had this same problem with my 08 I had to get the the bcm reprogramed per a tsb. before mine was reprogramed it did the same thing yours is doing. now with the reprogram mine works just like the book says it shoud.

This bulletin is being revised to update the Important statement to reflect the new direction to no longer contact TCSC. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 08-03-16-001A (Section 03 - Suspension).

Condition
Some customers may comment that the key fobs are inoperative or that the TPM system is showing dashes as the reading for all four tires.

Technicians may find DTCs C0775, C0569 and B3105 set simultaneously in the RCDLR module.

In addition, the technicians may find Tire Pressure Monitoring sensors are unable to be programmed to the vehicle by adding or releasing pressure to the tire while the vehicles in the TPM learn mode.

Cause
These conditions may be caused by the following:

• The RCDLR may lose its transmitter and tire pressure monitoring data from its memory if a low voltage condition occurs on the vehicle.

• The ability for TPM learning by adding or releasing pressure to the tire has been disabled in the RCDLR.

Correction
Reprogram the RCDLR with an updated software calibration to address both issues listed above. This new service calibration is available on TIS2WEB using Service Programming System (SPS). As always, make sure your Tech 2® is updated with the latest software.

Important: If the Tech 2® could not establish communication with the RCDLR AND the programming event ended with error, attempt to reprogram in Service Programming System (SPS) by selecting "Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (TSB 08-03-16-001) with E4399 error -- Pass Thru Only".

Once the RCDLR module has been reflashed with the latest software and calibrations, the following may also be necessary:

• Relearn all keyless entry transmitters.

• Reconfigure the tire pressure placards and the tire type.

• Relearn the tire pressure sensors.

Refer to SI for the procedures to relearn transmitters, placard and tire type configuration and tire pressure sensor learn.

 

I will have to look into this.

Ok, i'm a little cooler today. The 17's did not have TPMS, I just had the warning on all the time. That I could deal with, and I am perfectly capable of maintaining tire pressure without a nanny.

The 16's are the original, stock wheels and tires. The TPMS works, I do not get dashes on the display, just the position is wrong, I.e. LR is reading on RF, the position it was in before rotating the tires. I usually had the tire rotation done at the dealer when I would get my fall oil change, this year I didn't have time to swap wheels before going in. I always assumed the set the sensors using the procedure in the owners manual.

Normally, I wouldn't care if the positions were swapped, but my wife would overinflate a tire taking the readings on the display as gospel.

Thanks for the input, I am going to have the dealer check this out.





BTW, I work with industrial controls, including RFID, so I know there is a way to do this without having to reprogram for tire rotation. It would cost more, though.

 

Tell us more !!

 

Most dealers use a reset tool when they rotate tires because its faster. Mine would relearn with the tool but not with the remote procedure.
