How to Reset the TPMS on a Chevy
To reset the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on a Chevy, you have a few options depending on the specific model and year of your vehicle. Here are some methods you can try:
1. Manual Reset: Some Chevy models allow you to manually reset the TPMS without the need for any tools or machines. Here are the general steps you can follow:
– Make sure all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure.
– Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
– Locate the TPMS reset button, which is usually located under the steering wheel or in the glove compartment.
– Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS light on the dashboard blinks twice or you hear a beep sound.
– Release the button and wait for the TPMS light to turn off. This indicates that the TPMS has been successfully reset.
It’s important to note that this method may not work for all Chevy models, so it’s recommended to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific instructions.
2. Using a TPMS Relearn Tool: For some Chevy models, you may need a TPMS relearn tool to reset the TPMS. Here are the general steps:
– Make sure all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure.
– Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
– Connect the TPMS relearn tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port, which is usually located under the dashboard.
– Follow the instructions provided with the TPMS relearn tool to initiate the reset process.
– Once the reset process is complete, the TPMS light should turn off.
It’s important to note that you may need to consult the specific instructions for your TPMS relearn tool and your vehicle’s owner’s manual for detailed steps and compatibility.
3. Consulting a Certified Chevy Repair Center or Tire Shop: If you’re unsure about how to reset the TPMS on your Chevy or if the above methods don’t work for your specific model, you can always take your vehicle to a certified Chevy repair center or tire shop. They have the expertise and tools to properly reset the TPMS for you.
Remember, it’s important to regularly check your tire pressure and keep it at the recommended level to ensure the health and safety of your Chevy. If you’re unsure about the specific steps for your vehicle, it’s always best to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or seek professional assistance.

How do you calibrate the TPMS on a Chevy?
Turn your car off, and then turn the key to the “On” position without starting the car. Hold down the TPMS reset button until you see the tire pressure light blink three times. Then, release the button. Consult your owner’s manual if you have trouble finding the reset button.
It is worth pointing out that not all vehicles have a TPMS reset button, and the system may automatically reset itself once the tyre pressure is adjusted correctly. If you’re uncertain if your vehicle has a reset button, refer to the owner’s manual or get help from a local dealership.
The TPMS reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel. If you can’t locate it, check your owner’s manual. Inflate all of your tires to 3 PSI over their recommended amount, then deflate them completely. Be sure to do the same thing to the spare tire, as it could also have a sensor.
