Chevrolet Tahoe (2008 - 2012) TPMS Reset Procedure not working

Gearz · 2025-02-03T11:33:15-0500

I had Autel sensors installed last October and have had no problems. I can not relearn after rotate but don’t care. GM sensors have failed me twice! I also have a 2011 Tahoe. I just want the light off! Good luck

I need a TPMS tool for my '07 Tahoe.

I am unsure if all sensors are GM, as I have had them replaced over the years.

This tool on Amazon says make sure OEM sensors are in tires.

Will it work with sensors other than OEM sensors?

It won’t work with Autel because they only work with there tool but other sensors will work but not all. When you get them you can try to reprogram before you install them. Just keep near the truck and preform programming. Remember it will clear the old sensors and the light will still be on because they have no air pressure of coarse.

My 2011 Tahoe has an issue with one TPMS sensor. I've been able to re learn the positions after rotating the tires until this last rotation. Performing the procedure several times yields the same results. The horn beeps twice, indicating the truck is in re learn mode. No matter how much air I let out, or add, the horn does not beep for the driver side front tire. The DIC shows just dashes, instead of pressure readings.
I purchased a used set of 2018 Silverado rims, and tires. Both sets of rims claim to have the same frequency sensors, 315 mhz. after installing these rims and tires, I'm left with the same result. Can not re learn tire position, and when checking the pressure readings on the DIC, I just get blanks.
Is there a way to reset the TPMS? Or do I need a tool? I haven't tried disconnecting the battery yet.

the MAIN problem here is letting air out on this year does not work, the process requires the cheap tmps tool (or any gm compatible tpms tool) it looks like you already ordered, on previous years YES letting air out worked, I believe they changed the process in 2010, but not 100% sure the tool is REQUIRED on my 2012.
and that cheapy amazon tool only works for gm & ford, and may not work on the t2's it works for sure on the gmt800's, gmt900's and k2's

Let's not call a position re-learn "programming." With TPMS sensors programming is the initial setup of the sensors so they will work with a certain vehicle.

I have a 2011 too & ran into the same problem. pass Frt. had issues and my VXDas (orange tool) wouldn’t work. I picked up maybe from here to lower the tire pressure 10-lbs. when going through the process then back up to what you want them to be at. I did this at each tire & they finally registered. Pass Frt. occasionally has issues when temp. Is above 40, it’s fine when below so, it must be the contact at the battery
