I purchased 5 new wheels and tires with sensors. Every time I rotate my tires I have to go to Bell Tire to have them use a computer sensor tool so my tire indicator on the dash will go out. This thing (gizmo) will fit in the glove box! Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks for this. I just found it. I do 5 tire rotations and it’s a pain I always have missing tire pressure as I never went to dealer or tire place after I rotate my own. I used your link. Also just grabbed that stubby from your link too 🤙🏻
Great video. I’m thinking this may work for the issue I’m having. I went to the dealership today for an oil change and tire rotation and about halfway home got the service tire monitoring system light on the dash. Three of the four tires show the tire pressure but the left front doesn’t. Maybe the tech just didn’t reset the sensor when he rotated the tires on that one tire and this device would do the trick? What do you guys think? Trying to save another trip back there.
Excellent information. I put 2020 Silverado wheel w/Sensors in my 2018 Silverado would this tools May be able to program the 2020 sensor to my 2018 THANK YOU
I have a 2021 Chevy Colorado V6. Actually you don’t even need the tool that was purchased on Amazon. All you need to do is go to the checkmark or however you can reset your TPMS. Once you reset it and you get the message that pops up. You say yes and from that point all you do is drive the truck for about one minute and it will reset itself to the correct psi that is in the tire at the current time. All you do is add or take away any amount of air to get the correct psi that you want. Great video sir! Hope both options helo
I have a 2015 Colorado. It doesn't have a the check mark button. I've checked my manual and it doesn't say anything about how to reset. Would you happen to know what buttons I should be selecting?
It is outlined in the owners manual. To enter learning mode, key in, ignition on without starting the truck. Use the MENU button on your turn signal stalk to get to the tire pressure screen. Then press the SET/CLR button. A message should pop up asking to begin. Press SET/CLR again to confirm. The horn should beep twice and the screen should say TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE. Then follow the rest of the steps in the video.
What if one doesn’t pick up the sensor I think my spare doesn’t have a sensor and so it didn’t pick it up and it only honked for three out of the four tires
Not stupid at all. If you perform your own tire rotations at home, you need to reset the TPMS so that your computer shows the correct tire pressure at each corner. Also, lots of people like to keep two sets of tires (winter/summer tires) so they can swap them on and off, and program their TPMS without having to go to a shop.
@@fondupot oh hell I never thought of that!!! I just rotated my tires. So the dash would say right front is low but actually be left rear.........got to go to Amazon. Thx!👍🏻
I have a 2017 Colorado, my sensor is saying there is 11psi in my tire, but it actually has 35, will this tool calibrate that or does it sound like i have a defective sensor?
Anyone experience " serv tpms " in the dash with the tire sensor light on after installing a aftermarket radio? Problem im having i took my colorado to a tire shop at first to see what tpms is out and they sayed all is working but the sensors would not relearn , only changed i made was put in a single din radio bloothtooth , did a google search and it seems like a common issue with the changing the factory radio but no answers to fixing the problem...any help would be appreciated thanx.
I heard the same thing with aftermarket bluetooth radios and bluetooth cigarette lighter transmitters. I think something interferes. I have an 08 colorado and i had an aftermarket radio installed(with BT) and a few weeks later my TPMS lights came on and I've never been able to get them off, i thought that when I got new tires a year later that would fix it but the tech said they couldn't get it to reset.
@@richardmontano2701 yea man mine never turned off until a week ago when i changed out my head unit to a much better more expensive one since i ended up putting a system in my rado...the radio i had was a cheap $30 boss radio now i have a kenwood kdc which was done at a different shop so either it was the cheap radio i had or the person installing the radio didnt do something right hope this helps!
Wait so then you didn't say what else that you do after this. Do you go drive for 20 minutes and it figures out the pressure in each time? Or something else? Did you cross-reference what it came up with from another tire pressure gauge? Lots of questions guy. Lots of questions.
You don't have to do anything after you reset the locations. The computer just recognizes the new locations. In my experience the TPMS sensors are within 1-2 PSI of my handheld digital gauge.
Thanks I needed that! First time here and very appreciated! One other thing, where did you get those awesome mirrors? I have a 2020 Colorado I tow a 26’ travel trailer with, but have g be even forced to use those clamp on mirror extension. Oh they work ok, but look strange! Thanks in advance! Good luck have fun stay safe and healthy!
Hey Kevin. Glad to help. Thanks for watching. The mirrrors are Boost Auto Parts towing mirrors. Check my channel for a video on the installation. They really help with visibility on the colorados and canyons. Even when I’m not towing I like having them.
@@fondupot Oh yea! Great DIY videos! But man that price! I see there’s a whole new way of dismantling new vehicles, with the flat plastic pry tools, plus the way wires are now run through a computer to control everything, I guess it’s called CANBUS? I could’ve the mirrors in that requires no wiring, but I’m sure and cautioned that will cause serious warranty issues, down the road if anything were to require attention to the front doors, or anything electrical related? I’ll need to talk to my dealer about the whole situation, before I attempt to do anything. You folks need to lobby GM to supply these fantastic American made mirrors to them, so they can include them on the options list! That and the poor headlights are an ongoing issue with the Colorado/Canyon twins! Other than those two issues, I feel the twins are the best midsized trucks on the market, for any need.
@@kevinvoyer5053 yes the mirrors are pricey, but they are customizable, to the point where extra wiring wouldn't be required. Depending on the options you buy with them, they can be simple plug n play with existing wiring. Or if you opt for some of the extra features like me, the extra wiring is required. I have other videos on headlight upgrades as well. You should check those out. I am running Benebolt LED bulbs currently and they are fantastic. I agree, the Colorado/Canyons are great trucks. I love mine. Thanks for watching!
@@fondupot so when you say plug an play, what does that include, see I have a WT, but have the appearance package and convenience package that includes the white color match caps, power adjust, I believe is all. So I can get just power adjusted and plug right in? I’m reluctant to add LED’s because I have the reflector type headlights and manufactures warn against too much scatter and glare. So I’m thinking about projector type lights, but then again the warranty issues. Because when I bought it, I haggled with the dealer to get an 84 month 100,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty!
@@kevinvoyer5053 Yes, your current mirrors would just unbolt and unplug and new ones could just bolt on, and plug in to existing wires. You'd retain your power mirror adjustments.
Looked like your TPMS was ok when you first started, so I am wondering why you needed to do this? I understand from other folks if the TPMS wasn't working or the warning light came on and need to reset the system. But if all the tires are working properly, what's the reason for doing this?
It was just a product demo. Yea my TPMS were fine but if you rotate your tires on your own, you’ll need the TPMS reset tool to correct the tire positions in the computer. This tool won’t fix a faulty TPMS module tho.
Maybe you have a bad unit. I would return it and get a new one. But it’s also very particular where you aim the tip for the sensors to be detected. I just used mine though a few days ago and it worked great.
I got a 2021 gmc canyon and had to replace the tires. I didnthe air method and it worked fine. But this morning it was cold and my tires went to 32 psi and gave me a low tire pressure warning the tires warmed back up to 35 through the day but tire pressure low lamp still on. Do i need to use this tool instead of the air method i used?
@@fondupot it reads all the pressures on the dash though is the weird thing. I had to relearn the system again for it to get it to go out and mess with tire pressures
@@fondupot on the screen it will be like tires low add pressure. So I think it doesn't fix itself unless manually adding pressure 😬worst TPMS design on a vehicle I have dealt with so far
You should have gone back to the tire shop that did the tires. They could have reprogrammed everything for you. I’ve never had an issue like you described.
Did not work on my 2018 colorado, used the same tool, with no results! After putting into learning mode, sensor tool will not make connection, horn will not honk , did the process just like you did with no results.
All this does is recalibrate the sensors to the correct vehicle positions. You still need to use an air compressor to fill up the tires to the correct air pressure.
@@fondupot yeah but my air compresor say 35 psi....and the gauge say 33.....i didnt reset nothing yet....but this could be my compressor faulty or a sensor?!.....everything was good until the big cold
Its sorta tough you gotta get right over the sensor in front of the wheel. Is the TPMS showing up in the dash with correct pressure? if so the TPMS is probably fine, maybe the tool is bad.
@@eze876 Is it the same exact model learning tool as in my video? If not, I would return the one you have and say it didn't work. Because the one in my video is specific for GM vehicles. There are similar looking ones, but they could be for FORD or DODGE, or Toyota, etc. There's a link to the exact one I used in the video in the description.
@@fondupot i got a beep for each tire. I didn't get 2 beeps on the end. It fixed the front leftbut now the issue is with the rear right. I tried a few times and now the issue.persisits in the rear right.
@@fondupot I'm a bit confused because i fixed the front left the all of a sudden the issue switched to rear right after doing these steps (multiple times) which is odd.
If you rotate your own tires. This reprograms them at the correct location on the vehicle computer. Or if you have two sets of tires. Or the tire shop forgets to do it. Or you replace one tire. Etc. etc.
Haha, this is an All Terrain Trim. The mirrors are aftermarket, from a company called Boost Auto Parts. I have an install video on my channel for them, check it out.

Sounds like a defective sensor. All this thing does is program the location of the tires to the computer.
Did this and back left sensor went out after 20 minutes.. why is that? How could I fix it?
Strange. Did you try resetting them again? Could be a coincidence and the sensor just went bad.
