Once you trigger the reset process, the turn signal light on each corner of the vehicle lights up to tell you where to start the programming. It was actually doing that as you were walking around the truck.
Agreed, I saw that. Also had trouble following prompts when he was setting it to learning mode. Where is the control button? I appreciate his effort but the camera wasn't following the action. Need more visual instruction.
@ I’m sure each vehicle is different as to how to put it in to learning mode but you can check your owners manual to find out. If you don’t have it, there are online places to download it in a pdf. I use Adobe Acrobat for viewing pdf’s. Hope that helps
Not sure on the newer vehicles. But you can just let some air out to trigger the TPMS sensors and they’ll start transmitting. I put my 2008 equinox in learn mode and just take a tire chuck and go around to each tire
This tool's main purpose is to create the connection between the TPMS sensors to the car's computer. So when you get new sensors they may not automatically connect to the car's computer or if you rotate your tires the car may not realize new location. The relearn tool relearns the connection. If it is the same TPMS sensor in the tire, it may be that the battery in the TPMS has died and you need a new sensor. I don't think the relearn tool would help in your situation.
@@flyonawall6521 correct the rims are not stock, although the vehicle previously belonged to my son, and yes, the sensors were put in the new wheels, although that is a very important point that you brought up and thank you
Will this tool work if the tire sensor is actually defective beyond being able to reset? Reason I ask is it worked 1st time. Message came back in 45 miles later and can’t get the tool to reset same tire again..,
If it's old.. the batteries do run out eventually. You'll likely need to get another one mounted in your tire--- and then use your tool to reset the new one.
@@calholli vehicle is 2008. I am sure batteries are done. Wished there was a way to eliminate the alarm. As I operate my tire pressure gauge all the time. Old school. Ridiculous sensors
@@daveholte7658 There is, you just have to invest in a scan tool. Launch x431 variant, xtool d8, topdon, thinktool pro, autel. There are a lot of options these days, that are well worth it
I installed a second set of TPMS for my seasonal tires and wheels, have the tool but it doesn't respond during relearn. Is there a way to wake up the sensor without taking the tire apart again?
I don't think the TPMS go to sleep, unless the batteries die. It may be possible that the tpms in your other wheels are connected and causing interference with the new ones. Have you tried far from where the other wheels are?
@@juanchoman9824 I took it to a tire shop that tested it with 4 different TPMS machines and none of them could read the signal. Tire guy said either a compatibility issue with the machines and the type of sensor, or nothing other than defunct sensors. I got a refund for the sensors but they're still in my car. Shit happens. Next time i do a tire mount I'll takea closer look.

Great video, I was trying to relearn the old school way of releasing pressure and wasn't getting anywhere. Ordered the tool, thank you!
I’m having the same problem has this tool worked for you?

Nope not anymore
@@Therapisityyeah I’ve found that out. Such a pain for something that is supposed to be a convenience
we have had one for years for gm vehicles. works great
It worked on my 2014 impala👍🏾
It definitely works. I have that same one for my chevy tahoe..took less than 5 mins
Great very easy better than deflating the tires thanks 👍🏼
Question if a tire is plugged and tire pressure isn’t showing up. Do you think this reset would work?

@@lowleveltrim1819 okay thank you for the reply!
thanks for this!
Works for 2022 Chevy Blazer
Not sure why it is not working on my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado
Do you have stock rims on your truck? If you don't maybe the previous owner did not install TPMS sensors on the rims?

If one of the tire sensor is bad then that one wont make a sound when you reset them.
Trying to do mine now, the first tire won’t do anything. I’m thinking it’s bad. Would I be able to skip it and do the others?

@@lowleveltrim1819 They're about 10ft away. I'll take your advice and try it out further away. Thanks
Did it work ?

Will that tool work for my 2015 Chevy Cruz? I just bought one.
Yes, it should work for a 2015 GM vehicle.
Okay man thanks
None of my tire sensor are working, so hopefully that tool will reprogram it
Can you tell if you have a bad sensor?
Can someone answer this question for us please?!
Will this work on Asia car brands?
This model says it is for GM vehicles. I would look for one that says compatible with your vehicle make.
Will this work on a 2011 camry
Will this work with a toyota tocoma 2012 ??
This model says it is for GM vehicles. I would look for one that says compatible with Toyota.
Subaru frowns at you!!!!
bs
That piece of garbage don't work on any of my vehicle !
