Got new Wheels... how to reset the tire pressure monitor? - Page 2

GhostEye07 · 03-06-2016, 07:03 PM

I switched out my wheels to some that didnt have tpms then switched back the factory wheels with tpms.

I reset the system by starting the car going to the TPMS on the dash and holding SEL on the steering wheel till you hear the horn go off. Drove for a few minutes it came back!
Not sure if this will work for you but might as well give it a shot!

This is awesome news. I figured they could but didn't know if they would if you didn't buy the sensor from them. Discount Tire would probably be a whole lot quicker than going to the dealer

I LOVE your car. Would you mind posting the specs on your new wheels and tires? Also, are those the factory satin rally stripes?

I thought newer cars now just pick them up automatically from just driving a couple miles. Did anyone try that to see if it works?

Nope, not factory stripes, matte black. I got them "wrapped", not painted.

Tire specs are:

22x9 5x120 +30 front
265/30/22

22x10.5 5x120 +35 rear
295/25/22

I held down the "select" button on the Tire pressure dash screen and it said "tire sensor mode activated" or something to that effect, meaning it was going to start trying to recalibrate.. but it never did start showing the pressure so I think the dealer still has to do some kind of rescan.

You need to drive 15 min above 25 mph at the point where it says "sensor mode activated"...
