TPMS Sensors Reading Reversed L/R - Can anyone Help?

baron95 · 12-09-2019, 04:29 PM

Hey guys - I posted this on the 1LE forum, but it may be beneficial to xpost here.

I tend to rely a lot on the car's built-in TPMS readings on the panel, which I have confirmed are decently accurate on my car (same with Corvette and Jeep). It's handy on track to see how increases in pressure impact handling, etc.

Here is the problem...

After all the frequent tire changes/rotations, as currently mounted, my TPMS is reading the tires on the left of the car and displaying on right side, and vice versa. On all other modern cars the sensors automatically adjust to the new wheel positions quite quickly. But on my Camaro (2018 SS 1LE) they seem to be stuck. On older cars I have used a learning tool to trigger re-learn, but haven't needed in a while.

(I know I can flip the tires position back, but I tend to flip them based on wear and next main track direction - clockwise vs counter clockwise - so prefer not to be forced into it)

Questions:
1 - Has anyone else observed this?
2 - Is there a relearn/reset procedure that I should try?

Thanks in advance for the help.

You will need the relearn tool to get the TPMS programmed correctly.

Thank you all for responding. Tool ordered. I'm surprised that a tool is required, I thought that all newer cars had auto learn.
