tire pressure sensors

changed to winter tires and rims. will the tire pressure monitors reset from onboard, or does it require a visit back to the shop. just did blizzacks and rims, and the front pressures show 0lbs.

The re-learn procedure is in the manual I think.......

I have an '07 so don't have TPMS.

From an '09 owners manual

TPMS Sensor Matching Process

Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. Any
time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors or
rotate the vehicle’s tires, the identification codes need to
be matched to the new tire/wheel location. The sensors
are matched, to the tire/wheel locations, in the following
order: driver side front tire, passenger side front tire,
passenger side rear tire, and driver side rear tire using
a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your dealer/retailer for
service.

The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure. When increasing the tire’s pressure, do
not exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on
the tire’s sidewall. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match each tire and wheel
position. If it takes longer than two minutes to match any
tire and wheel position, the matching process stops and
you need to start over.

The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the
engine off.

3. Press and hold the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter’s LOCK and UNLOCK buttons, at the
same time, for about five seconds to start the TPMS
learn mode. The horn sounds twice indicating the
TPMS receiver is ready and in learn mode.

4. Start with the driver side front tire. The driver side
front turn signal also comes on to indicate that
corner’s sensor is ready to be learned.

5. Remove the valve cap from the tire’s valve
stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing
or decreasing the tire’s air pressure for about
eight seconds. The horn chirp, can take up to
30 seconds to sound. It chirps one time and then
all the turn signals flash one time to confirm the
sensor identification code has been matched to
the tire/wheel position.

6. The passenger side front turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the passenger side front tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.

7. The passenger side rear turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the passenger side rear tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.

8. The driver side rear turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.

9. After hearing the single horn chirp for the driver
side rear tire, two additional horn chirps sound to
indicate the tire learning process is done. Turn
the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.
If no tires are learned after entering the TPMS learn
mode, or if communication with the receiver stops, or
if the time limit has expired, turn the ignition switch to
LOCK/OFF and start over beginning with Step 2.

10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information label.

11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

Resyncing the TPMS for each wheel was pretty easy . Just follow the manual and you'll do fine. Be sure you have a way to air up the tires when your done.

But it is time consuming.

AND it does not work sometimes. Mine have NEVER been able to re-set manually, as the very first tire did not register. I took it in for warranty waork, to have the sensor on the other end fixed. All they did was reset the the sensors at the tire and charge me $55. I argued that this is not the problem, the problem is that I should be able to re-set on my own, and the reset function was not working. They basically said "What'sthe difference, and left me on my own, even the Folks out at the factory did not back me on this. Good Luck.
