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

It seems as if the OP isn't going to spend any money or effort since they are looking to replace the truck soon. I consider this a moot point/post.

That's not true. I'm just looking to see if there's a reasonably priced solution to get the warning off the dash. It would help either resale, or trade in value when I'm ready to get rid of it.
I'll spend some time and effort, but not hundreds of dollars, to resolve the issue. I don't see the need to spend over $100 on a scan tool that may not work on my next vehicle, it may not be a GM. I'll look at the Amazon tool, but reviews have been mixed on it's reliability and accuracy. I understand it's less than $10, and if it doesn't work I'm not out that much, however still no closer to a solution.

The orange tool from Amazon worked for me. If it doesn't and the method you used doesn't it's a good sign the sensor is dead.

Thanks. I'm a little leary about tools that are so inexpensive. I'm not cheap, just cautious.

Then you are not trusting us or the advice given.

To solve this problem quickly and accurately, a bi-directional scan tool is needed to pull the internal BCM codes. It's likely that the sensors are dead or the wrong frequency. If the RCDLR has gone bad, a new one requires programming. New sensors are $50 plus installation. There are fancy TPM tools that can talk to the sensors to see what frequency they are and the condition of their battery and such.

I did try starting with the Rf, and went around to the other tires. Same result.

So the first wheel position (RF) you tried wouldn't register either?
