how to activate TPMS on 05 Tahoe

[KMV77]

Well my 05 Tahoe was in the body shop for a month and a half after the accident in October. After I got it back the keyless entry did not work. I got it to work by doing the key on off and holding the lock button. Now the other thing I checked that isnt working is the TPMS. If I toggle through the dash with the steering wheel buttons it doesnt show the tire pressure option anymore. I think it may have been from the battery being out of it for a while, or something. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Don't take this the wrong way:
Take it back to the shop. That way if something else is wrong, the boy shop will seek payment from your/their insurance company.
The body shop got paid to fix your truck, let them make it right.

O I know. I just hate when my stuff is in the shop. If I could do it myself I would rather, but I'm going to take it back next week.

i would take it back as well b/c i think you have to have it re-programed again. the tpms. If it worked before they had it, then they should fix it after. And honestly, that is something they probly didnt even look at. (used to work at a body shop) but like matt said, i would take it back, call them and tell them you have to wait on it and schedule a time you can do it.

You need the proper scan tool to enter chassis programming and re-enable it. This happens when the passenger door module is messed with. Its install state is always disabled. It is design to be used on vehicle with or with out TPMS and must be programmed to be enable on properly equipped vehicle. Afterwards a sensor relearn is required.

Oh and it does your key-less entry system too.

I would just leave it off. I hate TPMS. Stupid sensors.

Well it is a family friends shop. The tahoe had a lot of damage. He worked with me and we upgraded stuff that needed to be replaced. I now have the HD hood and the z71 valence and fogs that we replaced within the prices that the auto insurance allotted. I also have a new set of tires (I only had to pay for 2 of them). Sometimes I would rather go to a strangers shop, ya know....

It may start working again after driving for a while. Other than that, I think they have to be reset with a TPMS tool.
I have one that stopped working and purchased a new one, Then it started working again.
