After many unsuceesful tries with other videos I came across this one. It it is the best and fixed my problems relearning the TPMS on my 2015 Tahoe Z71 after rotating tires. I used the cheap Amazon EL-50558. Important note: as he says in the video sometimes you have to keep holding the button down since it can take longer on different tire positions. Also, I used the 5 second hold on the start button (don't press the brake pedal) and did it without the engine running.
Glad to hear it worked for you! I always leave the engine off, and based on some comments on my video, I suspect engine idling MAY interfere with programming.
Bought one and worked first time 😊 Apparently the garage said all my tpm sensors where faulty at £100 a pop they lied. Great video thank you saved me money.
It worked! Getting to the learning mode on my Buick is a little different, but just as easy. The rest of the procedure is identical. It took less than 2 minutes. I bought the EL-50448 from Amazon. A different brand, but identical unit for less than $13. I am so grateful for you and this video. Thank you.
Mate you're a legend. bought one and tried all the ways didn't work. was pissed off and thought i bought a faulty device and wanted to get a refund. came across your video by chance and IT WORKED. CHEERS LAD.

That hasn't been my experience - I tried a few new ways of holding it when reprogramming tonight after reading your comment and a couple similar. I think the unit scans codes until a connection is made, so sometimes it is very quick to 'connect', and other times it takes much longer.
Just did this on my 2023 Camaro SS. Exactly as you described. I previously could not get one of the tpms sensors to detect while I tried the reset sequence with the engine running. But your video inspired me to use the five-second start button hold to get the car into tpms reset mode with the engine off. I suspect the engine, while running, must send out enough RF interference to mess with the weak signal coming out of the reset tool. Anyway, doing the procedure with engine off worked great. Thanks!
Putting the car in diagnostic mode finally worked on a 2019 Equinox. It was instant! I was super frustrated why it would go into TPMS learning mode, but not accept the signal from the EL-50448?? It is the same with the diesel fuel filter reset. The reset check mark shows, but wouldn't reset until I was in diagnostic mode. It doesn't mention this anywhere in the manual.
That black antenna is also a great way to hold against the sidewall/rim as close to the valvestem as possible. Try holding it straight on to the rubber the closest to the valve and it might help it pick up the signal better. Especially true with a weak transmitter.

I've tried holding the antenna different ways (especially after receiving similar comments after posting this video) - it makes no difference at all to me. I believe the delay is as it cycles through codes and may be influenced by battery level of the tool and/or TPMS
@@rubbercheesereviews I tried the tool and I hear the light honk for the first two tires but starting on the third it does not honk and because of that I’m not able to finish the relearn and now all four tires show no psi before 3 showed. What do you think I’m doing wrong?
My 2019 GMC Terrain owners manual directed me to a GM tools website to purchase a device that costs $300.00😂. Not happening!! Purchasing one of these ASAP. Thanks👍
I do believe the instructions for the tool are that it can be used for a Ford and a GM vehicle, but you must toggle to one or the other. Did you find that you had to do that by holding the button and watching for two red flashes for GM and two green flashes for Ford?
I tried the tool and I hear the light honk for the first two tires but starting on the third it does not honk and because of that I’m not able to finish the relearn and now all four tires show no psi before 3 showed. What do you think I’m doing wrong?
You may be doing nothing wrong. I'd try again a couple of times, and move the tool around a bit at the third tire. If still no luck, the battery in that sensor may be too flat to work and the sensor will need to be replaced. This system doesn't allow programming unless all four tires are programmed together.
What year and make/model of car? A few possible issues: your car doesn't use this type of TPMS programming tool, your TPMS sensors are bad (e.g. dead batteries), or your TPMS programming tool is bad (my first one didn't work).
@Jared Patterson From a quick web search for 2010 Impala, I think you just need to remove (or add) air one tire at a time for the re-learn; give that a try. There is also a good chance that TPMS batteries are dead - the sensors in my 2007 DTS started giving out at around 10 years old.
I just tried to relearn the tires after rotations. And for some reason when I get to the rear right tire it will not detect it and it times out on me the whole process. It’s crazy insane why this companies got to make that so difficult.
It depends why you are having this issue - if the sensors aren't corresponding to the correct tire, reprogramming will help. If the sensor is just reading incorrectly, I doubt this would help. Have you checked all tires to see if one actually is the low pressure reported by your vehicle?
I've tried after receiving many comments like this - it makes no difference with my car and tool. I suspect this tool is either less powerful or slower scanning than professional tools used in shops where that might make a difference.
Hello I have a 2018 acadia and I replaced the Tpms sensor on the rear driver side wheel and the tool still will not read it but it will read the other 3 sensors Not sure what else to do I tried releasing air I tried driving for about 20 minutes like the instruction manual says..any ideas?
It is possible that if it is aftermarket, the sensor may need to be initiated to 'talk' with GM parts. If this is the case, you may need to use a "professional" scan tool to initialize the sensor. I'm not 100% sure on this though since I haven't ever replaced a TPMS sensor before. My summers are my OEM wheels; my winters are mounted on used OEM wheels that I bought (from another Impala).
I haven't had a sensor die on me, but a quick search indicates that the system will not allow you to complete a re-learn with a bad sensor, unfortunately.
Someone please help me. I bought one but it isn’t working. I have the same model of tool. My gauge just saying saying that my front left is low but it’s shows a reading that’s way off. But the tool WILL NOT WORK
Is your gauge showing low, or a reading that's way off? If the car says the tire pressure is LO or "---" after previously working (i.e. if you didn't swap tires), that is an indication that the TPMS sensor has gone bad. With that said, if you know the TPMS sensor is good, try buying another tool - the first one I bought on Amazon was a dud and wouldnt work even though the indicator light made it look like it was working.
These display the pressure. I think the car notifies you if it thinks pressures are too low (or too high?), but I don't think you can adjust those parameters
Might be a dying TPMS sensor/battery. If you know it is working, start over - I had a similar issue once where I had to start over twice before my right front would register (the TPMS sensors are about 5 years old). I'm not sure if this is due to a fading battery, or just a fluke.
I'm experiencing the exact same thing, where the last tire (back driver) is not beeping. I've tried like 5 times. Smh 🙄 I have another tool. Maybe, I should send this 1 back and try the one u have in the video.
Yes, I have my all-seasons and snows on different rims, and I use this tool to program the system each time I do a tire swap. If you are having problems, possibly one of your TPMS sensors is bad. Apparently TPMS sensors typically last 5-10 years, though my limited experience with them is that the OEM ones last a little over 10 years.
You need TPMS sensors compatible with the car; this device is compatible with the same sensors as the car. For my car, apparently AC Delco PN 13540602 is the OEM part number, but there are likely compatible aftermarket units. Try using RockAuto or similar to find compatible sensors.
I suppose that would work... if you go from tire-to-tire and find out which one doesn't cause the car to beep. With that said, if you have one bad sensor, it is likely that the others will go bad relatively soon so might be worth swapping them all.
@@rubbercheesereviews Thanks for the reply. I did hold the start/stop button, instruments went live fine, but still couldn't put the car in learning mode by holding th check mark on stearing wheel. Will comment again when and if I succed.
I don't believe that process works on newer GM vehicles (it isn't mentioned in my 2019 Impala owners manual, but was detailed in my 2007 DTS owners manual). I'll try next time I have the air compressor out and post back.
@@rubbercheesereviews thanks for getting back to me. My car is a 2018 impalal. Crazy thing is I re did it and it picked up my front left and rears but would not pick up my front right
I'm surprised with the car that new. I would try again a couple times - occasionally it will take a LONG time of holding to get a connection. I'm not 100% sure if these are accurate, but I found the following suggestions when I previously had issues (at that time I had a dud TPMS programmer) : 1) before programming, drive the car. 2) ensure front wheels are straight.
These are manufacturer-specific. If you have one that works with Toyota (and not this one), you can probably tell by doing a re-learn and noting when the car stops responding (GM beeps the horn after each successful tire, I assume other brands do similar).
@@merrinomay7986 Sounds good! I really like the Impala - plenty of space, good compromise between handling/performance and comfort, and good value compared to similarly-sized cars.
@@merrinomay7986 I think you are thinking of Malibu. Impala is either 2.5 or 3.6. I have the 3.6L - really peppy and fun to drive, and reasonably good gas mileage (I average 32MPG on longer trips)

I'm not 100% sure (found this suggestion online): try cycling between off and ignition 3-5 times, making sure to 'end' with ignition in 'on' position. Stop when the gauges sweep as shown in the video. Let us know if that works (or doesn't)
Just did this with my 2014 Chevy Malibu at the gas station….. and of course everybody lives in a constant state of fear. There was a woman pumping gas and as my horn kept honking she was jumping and staring at me wondering whats going on.
Hahaha, I usually do mine at the office now (empty parking lot, not many people around) because I get some weird looks from people walking by when I do it in the driveway!
They are OEM TPMS sensors - the rims/tires shown in the video are what came on the car from factory. My snow tires (not shown) are mounted on take-off rims from a 2015 Impala LT which also have OEM sensors.
The reason why it's taking so long, is because you're holding it in the wrong position. You need to point the antenna towards the tire not away from it
Not true - I've played around with how I hold the programmer on subsequent tire swaps after other people left similar comments, and it really doesn't make any difference. For each swap, I find that 2 or 3 TPMS sensors register very quickly, but 1 or 2 tend to take a bit longer.
@@rubbercheesereviews Each sensor has a battery within it. Some might be weaker than others depending on age or when last replaced. Time on the shelf may play a role if they have never been replaced.
I believe for that generation of GM, no tool is required. There should be a way to get into re-learn mode, then you can go around releasing pressure tire-by-tire. Take a look at your owner's manual.
I believe so - I haven't used it on brand new TPMS sensors before, however I bought take-off rims from another Impala to use for snow tires, and this was able to program them.
I don't think you actually need the tool. If you release about 5 psi, the sensor with transmit on its own. I mean if you don't want to let the air out of your tire, then yes the tool is very good. I bought one off Amazon and it does work nice.😊
I think it may depend on model year. My first tool was defective so I tried the 'deflate trick' but didn't have success, so I ordered the tool used in the video
I would use the device to re-program your TPMS system... likely your car was last reprogrammed before a tire rotation (or maybe you had snow tires put on, and when your summers were put on, they went onto different positions). The procedure is short and easy.
This particular model likely won't, but there are others that are advertised to work with Chrysler. U508 is a model suggested when I did a search, though I haven't tried one.
@@galaxya2289 If you have this issue on your car, switch units from metric to US. If you are referring to this video, you'll have to use your imagination!
Thanks for your comment - I tried that way the previous time I swapped tires (the instructions recommend either holding the tool perpendicular to the valve stem, or parallel to it with the antenna against the sidewall like you suggest), but I didn't notice any real difference. I'll try next again next swap and update this video if required.

@@rubbercheesereviews I have 80k on mine,switched tires and struts..it corners great..without the sway bar hooked up,got to be something causing it,my friend said to get a buick..
@@rubbercheesereviews I have 18s on my car ..my 04 monte carlo rode better..had 17..more rubber between me and the road.
@@alvendetti4600 Yes, I prefer non-low-profile tires for better ride. My previous cars have all been Cadillacs with full sidewalls, and this definitely doesn't ride the same as them!
@@rubbercheesereviews there has to be something lose,steering shaft maybe,there is a banging in front i can feel it over speed bumps...my friend has 14 buick lacrosse,says its quiet..
This work on a 2017 impala ?
Yes, 99.9% sure it will!
Hi dear,
Could u please if know about Mercedes??
Thank u for channel
Thanks!
I'm an ASE CMAT and this whole system is crap. What water head thought of this !?? My 2001 Corvette resttes itself when then PSI is correct. I've used this VXDAS GL- 50448 on my 2012 Acadia 3 time = CRAP
Will it work for a 2005 Chrysler crossfire
No; a quick search suggests that you will need an "8821 Relearn magnet". Search for Chrysler Crossfire TPMS Relearn
WHAT IF YOU HAVE A KEY!?!???? I HAVE A 2017 IT USES A KEY PLEASE RESPOND AND HELP lol
I'm not 100% sure (found this suggestion online): try cycling between off and ignition 3-5 times, making sure to 'end' with ignition in 'on' position. Stop when the gauges sweep as shown in the video. Let us know if that works (or doesn't)
@@rubbercheesereviews thank you so much!
That remote come in automatically compatible with gm vehicles?
It is compatible with many modern GM vehicles. Product listing pages should show compatibility by model and year.
I wish there was a universal for different cars
Me too! They do make models that can do both Ford and GM, but it would be nice if all automakers used a compatible system!
Amazon sold it to me as universal tool even that it says gm on it.
Thanks
Just did this with my 2014 Chevy Malibu at the gas station….. and of course everybody lives in a constant state of fear. There was a woman pumping gas and as my horn kept honking she was jumping and staring at me wondering whats going on.
Hahaha, I usually do mine at the office now (empty parking lot, not many people around) because I get some weird looks from people walking by when I do it in the driveway!
Did you buy oem tpms sensors?
They are OEM TPMS sensors - the rims/tires shown in the video are what came on the car from factory. My snow tires (not shown) are mounted on take-off rims from a 2015 Impala LT which also have OEM sensors.
The reason why it's taking so long, is because you're holding it in the wrong position. You need to point the antenna towards the tire not away from it
Not true - I've played around with how I hold the programmer on subsequent tire swaps after other people left similar comments, and it really doesn't make any difference. For each swap, I find that 2 or 3 TPMS sensors register very quickly, but 1 or 2 tend to take a bit longer.
@@rubbercheesereviews Each sensor has a battery within it. Some might be weaker than others depending on age or when last replaced. Time on the shelf may play a role if they have never been replaced.
My car is tahoe 2007 good or not fat ...,
I believe for that generation of GM, no tool is required. There should be a way to get into re-learn mode, then you can go around releasing pressure tire-by-tire. Take a look at your owner's manual.
It work just fine on my 2011 silverado
Excellent, glad to hear!
Quick question why is the tire p is 225🤦🏻♂️
Aside from one tire, pressures shown in the video are 236kPa, roughly 34psi.
Does this tool program new TPMS ?
I believe so - I haven't used it on brand new TPMS sensors before, however I bought take-off rims from another Impala to use for snow tires, and this was able to program them.
Does the vehicle need to be on or off
Leave the engine off. Someone commented on here that the process didn't work (or didn't work reliably) with engine running
Not applicable to the 2015 impala model.
This should work on 2014+ Impalas, I don't think any significant changes were made during the 2014-2020 body style
Last one scared you lol
It did! Easy to stop paying attention, then the horn really gets you, especially when working in a garage!
I don't think you actually need the tool. If you release about 5 psi, the sensor with transmit on its own. I mean if you don't want to let the air out of your tire, then yes the tool is very good. I bought one off Amazon and it does work nice.😊
you can do exactly the same thing with out this tool! just to deflate your tire until the horn beep! exactly the same result.
I think it may depend on model year. My first tool was defective so I tried the 'deflate trick' but didn't have success, so I ordered the tool used in the video
if I fill the rear left the front left is being read on the screen -- now what
I would use the device to re-program your TPMS system... likely your car was last reprogrammed before a tire rotation (or maybe you had snow tires put on, and when your summers were put on, they went onto different positions). The procedure is short and easy.
Thanks for the video, anyone now if this tool works for a 2016, Chrysler 200?
This particular model likely won't, but there are others that are advertised to work with Chrysler. U508 is a model suggested when I did a search, though I haven't tried one.
Why your tire pressure too high
Pressures around 236kPa which is around 34psi as expected/desired
@@rubbercheesereviews and how do i change it from KPa to Psi ?
@@galaxya2289 If you have this issue on your car, switch units from metric to US. If you are referring to this video, you'll have to use your imagination!
Tools world for Nissan
Just disconnected the battery cable from positive and negative. Then wait 15 minutes. And put back on. Everything is gonna be normal
You are holding it wrong you have to rest the black antenna against the tyre it will work quicker
Thanks for your comment - I tried that way the previous time I swapped tires (the instructions recommend either holding the tool perpendicular to the valve stem, or parallel to it with the antenna against the sidewall like you suggest), but I didn't notice any real difference. I'll try next again next swap and update this video if required.
I tried it the way you showed when I got mine and it took longer than holding the top against the sidewall
@@rabbit73au I've tried holding my tool a few different ways after reading your comment (and others) - it really doesn't make much difference how I hold it.
236 psi is crazy 😭
That would be crazy! 236kPa is roughly 34psi, which is much less crazy
metal valve caps... ouch....
They came with the car, and 5 years later I've had no problems (knock on wood). These are my summers so never exposed to salt/brine
Get on with it already
Let me give you a piece of advice…go up there to that little gear and then to playback speed and turn it on 2X. That should satisfy your impatience.
@@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity let me give you a piece of advice, Get a life.
@@roddycreswell8613says the person acting like a child💀
Who cares what ypu think? Get on with it already.@elizabethmartinez1490
You wanna meet god little dude???
Say the 20 bucks and just let air out around the car instead of using the tool.
That is an acceptable way to do it on vehicles where it works... but not on many modern GM vehicles.
You talk entirely too much. SHOW ME WHAT TO DOOOOOO
FF to @2:00
Does this work on a Toyota 🥲
Not with this method. You need something like an AUTEL that records all the IDs around the car and then upload those IDs to the car via ODB2 port.
Does that green light flash all the time or only when near the tire? I just bought on and bought a battery and no light comes on.
Should flash whenever the button is pressed. Check your battery, or maybe you got a faulty unit?
