How do you get the tire pressure screen to come up without the car running?

Joe M 2012 2SS · 09-18-2017, 03:22 PM

A new friend of mine I met at my local 1/8th mile strip has a 2016 Camaro SS.

He makes an hour drive to come to the strip (horrible prep at his local one). I aired his Nitto 555G2's (summer tires) down to 20 PSI a couple weeks ago, and he ran an impressive 7.87 ET with a 1.78 60' stock.

Makes me just a little jealous because my 555R's (drag radials) are low 1.9's at 8.2 ET. But his car has 60-70 more HP and 400lbs less weight than mine.

I aired them down while he was in line two weeks ago, and this past Sunday told him we would go ahead and do it while the car was cooling down, only we couldn't get the screen to come up that shows tire pressure, unless the motor is started. Is there a way to get it to come on without starting the car?

Hold the start button down for 10 seconds and the car will go into accessories mode.

Won't this start the car up?

Not if you keep your foot off the brake pedal on the auto or don't push in the clutch on a manual.

Thanks. Well at least my car is faster than his at 1 thing anyway!
