To relearn the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on a Chevy Colorado, there are a few different methods you can use, depending on the model year and trim level of your vehicle. Here are two common methods:
Method 1: Using the Driver Information Display and TPMS Relearn Tool
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position without starting the engine.
2. Press the MENU button briefly until you see the VEHICLE menu on the driver information display.
3. Start from the driver side front tire and place the TPMS Relearn Tool against the tire sidewall near the valve stem.
4. Press the button on the TPMS Relearn Tool to activate the TPMS sensor.
5. Repeat the process for the passenger side front tire, passenger side rear tire, and the driver side rear tire.
6. Turn off the ignition after you have reset the last tire.
7. Adjust the tire pressure in all four tires to the recommended pressure listed on the tire placard.
Method 2: Using the Headlight Switch
1. Inflate the tires to the pressure recommended by the factory specifications for your Chevy Colorado.
2. Turn the engine OFF and turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (not the ACC position).
3. Within five seconds, turn the headlight switch from OFF to the parking lamps four times. The horn will sound twice to indicate that the vehicle is in the relearning mode.
4. The recommended tire pressure for the Chevrolet Colorado is 35 PSI for both the front and rear tires.
5. Screw the valve stem cap back onto each tire.
Please note that these methods are general guidelines and may vary slightly depending on the specific model year and trim level of your Chevy Colorado. It’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the most accurate and detailed instructions.
Remember to always follow proper safety precautions and refer to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer for your vehicle.

What is the relearn procedure for TPMS?
TPMS Vehicle relearn procedures vary by automaker. Some vehicles relearn automatically when you drive them. Others require a TPMS scan tool to complete the relearn. The process for many Asian makes and models may also require connecting a tool to the OBDII connection.
How do you relearn a GM TPMS sensor?
Exit the vehicle and grab your TPMS relearn tool. Starting with the front driver’s-side tire, place the tip of the TPMS relearn tool against the tire sidewall near the wheel’s valve stem. Press the button on the tool to activate the sensor.
How do you reset the tire monitor system on a Chevy Colorado?
After you inflate your tires, drive at 50 mph or above (in an appropriate speed zone) for 10 minutes to reset your sensor. The TPMS light should go away. Before you start your vehicle, turn your key to the “On” position. Once the TPMS light is on, hold the TPMS reset button until the icon flashes three times.
How do you reset the TPMS light on a dashboard?
Position. But do not start the car hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times then release. It start the car and wait about 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh.
How do you relearn a tire pressure monitoring system?
Simply by driving the vehicle for a determined amount of time in some cases even if the vehicle is equipped with an auto learn mode. And you’re installing a new sensor.
The TPMS sensor should refresh within 20 minutes. The TPMS reset button is usually located underneath the steering wheel, but check your owner’s manual for its exact location.
How do you manually reset TPMS?
Set the parking brake. Look for a button to the left of the steering column labeled with the TPMS icon if it’s there push and hold it until the TPMS indicator in the instrument panel blinks twice.
Will disconnecting my battery reset my TPMS?
Most TPMS sensors have their own batteries, so the sensor just reports low pressure coming from them. If disconnecting the battery made the TPMS “forget” what 32psi (or whatever the setting is) was, the system would be useless.
Can you relearn TPMS sensors without a scan tool?
With the exception of some models that may be relearned to the vehicle via a driving procedure, a TPMS scan tool is required to complete the vehicle relearn procedure. Some aftermarket sensors require special programming to meet the vehicle’s application specifications prior to installation and relearn.
Can I reset my TPMS myself?
Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. Start the car and wait about 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh. You will find the tire pressure monitor reset button under the steering wheel. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual if you can’t find it.
