I had my tires rotated at an independent shop and I am not sure they reprogrammed my system. Is this something I can do myself and if so how do I accomplish it? Thanks for all your input!!!

There is a step by step procedure in the owners manual. Not real that hard if you have access to a air supply. (compressor )
I have done mine a couple times and put snow tires on too.

This is odd, as when I rotated my tires, the TPMS picked up on the change. I didn't have to do anything. Did they take any of the tires off the rim?

it might not actually be picking up on the correct tires on the DIC..
I rotated my tires myself and i can still flip threw and see tires pressures
on my DIC read out but its not the actual tire .. i rotated my RF to RR..
and the LF to LR.. so i know in my head they are opposite .. so unless
the person up rotated them Reset the TPMS system, yours could be
jumbled up to.

Please tell me where is the sensor located, because in my hhr the pressure of the tire RR -- marks two lines only and it doesn't mark nothing else. I think I have to replace the sensor but I have no idea. Please give me your advice. Thanks, and Happy New years!

Well, It's happening again!!!!!!!! The TPS indicator light came on (2) times this week. It still reads the right rear as the problem. I am getting really tired of this problem!!!! When I bring this car back for repairs this time, it will be the fourth time for the same problem!!!!!!! Do I hear "LEMON LAW" anyone????

I brought my car back to the dealer Tuesday hoping that they will take care of this issue once and for all. This is the fourth visit in a few months for this same problem! I convinced the service manager to replace the receiving unit for this system. This was the only piece of equipment in this system that he didn't replace on previous visits. I hope this is it for this problem!!

On my way to the dealer, I notice a "rattle" in the front end, it sounded like it was coming from the right front. I mentioned this to the service manager and he said he would take a look at it.

They had my car for (2) days, and found that the noise I heard was actually coming from a defective steering column!!! Now they have to replace that!!! What else could go wrong!

Well, on the way to work this morning, the speedometer froze at exactly 50 MPH, and the tachometer froze at exactly 2,000 RPM’s.

I don’t know, does the fraise “Lemon Law” come to mind????? Here in Michigan, this law does apply if you have the same electrical problem (4) or more times within a 12-month period.

I forgot to mention that I only have 8000 miles on the car!
