How to Reset the TPMS on a Chevy HHR
If the Tire Pressure Management System (TPMS) in the Chevy HHR is not working properly, you may have to reset the system. Here are the steps to re-initialize the TPMS:
1. Using a TPMS Reset Tool:
– Place the TPMS Reset Tool on the left-back tire wall near the air stem and activate it until the horn sounds. Repeat the steps if you are unable to reset the tire pressure warning light on the first try.
2. Without a Tool (2008-2011 Model Years):
– If you have a 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR, you can reset the TPMS by increasing or decreasing the tire pressure without a tool. These instructions are based on the Chevy HHR owner’s manual.
3. Using the Vehicle’s Controls:
– Turn the ignition to the “ON” position without starting the vehicle and apply the parking brake. Then, hold down the tune/display button for 8 seconds until you see settings, press seek until you see “tire mon,” and press the 1 button until the reset message appears.
4. Using a TPMS Scan Tool:
– A TPMS tool, or another properly formatted TPMS scan tool, is required to perform this procedure. Starting with the LF tire, use the scan tool to scan each sensor in the following order: LF, RF, RR, and LR. The horn will chirp after the vehicle has received a signal from each sensor. After activating the LR tire, the horn will chirp twice, signifying the relearn is complete.
Remember, if you are still unsuccessful in resetting the TPMS, it’s advisable to contact the dealership for assistance or consult your vehicle’s user manual.
