The signal goes through tire!
This is starting to piss me off. Now I have to get them changed for the third time.
Have to get them from GM I guess.
I just don't understand why they work on some but not others

I just got this set of Senors in the mail from Chevyparts.com. Hopefully they are correct which i feel they are but just in case here is a picture of the ones i have. Didn't install them yet as i had to put my baby in the garage till this blizzard passes

Well, I have had my new winter tires 18" blizzaks on my new 2016 Camaro for 1 month now. AND the sensors still don't work.

Any suggestions anybody?

bybcous · 01-23-2016, 04:04 PM

I have the 2016 sensors and mine do not work, is the gm tool needed for them to connect. Glen i have tried your method about 20x

Zack46 · 01-23-2016, 05:41 PM

I've tried the method.

But, no luck.

Any other suggestions?

I feel your pain in the sensor problem. Just my experience to go by... I am running a set of 20x9.5 rims with bridgestone blizak winter tires 275/40 r 20 and had to get the 433Mhz sensors from GM parts counter at the Dealership ($280) I had a custom wheel shop install sensors and mount and balance tires. I had to bring the car to the Dealer for them to "read" or "Set" the sensors with their equipment before they would register properly on the car. I have had NO problems sense. The custom wheel shop did not have the correct software program downloaded into thier TPMS programer and were not able to find the right one.Maybe to new??? I don't know!

Lethalphoenix · 01-25-2016, 03:31 AM

Just a FYI guys, the dealership may have the WRONG sensors listed in their computer ordering system, mine did! Make sure that the sensors are the 433MHz sensors! They are new for the camaro! The 315MHz sensors do NOT work!

keon718nyc · 01-25-2016, 11:43 AM

As much as i dont want to take all 4 tires off the rims already and put my new sensors on from ShopChevyparts.com, I am worried now that what if these don't work after i get them installed and mounted and waste more money. Can anyone, if anyone who may have ordered them from the same place i did confirm they work? I emailed shopchevyparts today and asking them if the frequency is in fact 433mhz. This is annoying to deal with and i might just say F*** it and leave the dam tpms light on the car for a while...

Glen e · 01-25-2016, 11:46 AM

Once you find the right ones, if you just want the light out.......

Racers/ track guys take all 4 sensors, put them in a sealed pvc pipe, drill and seal in a tire valve, cap both ends and inflate to 35 psi.plsce it in the trunk, All the sensors calibrate, lights gone.

.ask Patrick at cultrag, he's a smart guy about this s stuff.

keon718nyc · 01-25-2016, 11:57 AM

Ok, so i got a fast response back from Shopchevyparts.com -

Quick Update: The sensors actually say 433mhz on the ones i have that i purchased from Shopechevyparts. To be honest i did not look at the writing on them fully...

Gforce8 · 01-25-2016, 02:51 PM

Mine are 315, I will try to get the 433mHz.
What a pain in the rectum.

bybcous · 01-27-2016, 10:03 AM

It looks like tool is needed, my 2016 sensors now read after getting a oil change today there tool found the sensors.

bybcous · 01-28-2016, 05:18 PM

Just wanted to update again that i have driven over 300 miles on the gm sensors i purchased from maureen with no issues, the tool is definitely needed.
