The steps are as follows:
1. Apply parking brake.
2. Turn ignition to ON position (engine off)
3. Press the MENU button on the DIC (located on instrument cluster) until the vehicle's tire pressures are displayed.
4. Press and hold Set/Clr. Vehicle asks “Are you sure that you want to relearn?” Select Yes.
5. Starting at Drivers Front tire, decrease air pressure until horn chirps. Repeat procedure for remaining tires in the following order: Passenger Front, Passenger Rear, and Driver Rear. After completing Passenger Rear tire, horn will sound twice.
6. Turn ignition to OFF position to exit vehicle learn mode. Adjust all tires to pressure listed on tire placard.

Super video. I had been getting a "Service the Tire Pressure System" every time I started up since I put the summers on my Dad's 2012. They hadn't been on the car for maybe 2-3 years, and I wasn't sure they'd work anymore. I was showing no pressures at all, but I followed the instructions and was back working in no time. Only issue I had was that I didn't realize how much air I needed to let out and was almost ready to give up before I got the honk. My gauge showed that you need to take the tires down to about 20PSI for the honk. Thanks again for the really simple, clear instructions.
Very helpful, thanks, you just saved me $189 labor/parts per tire, dealer told me I have a bad sensor and can't reset this, so i found this video and I did, reset all, now everything is working fine.
I hate when dealerships and repair shops try to rip off people. The sensors literally cost between $3.00 & $6.00 each and are easy to install.
@@davidpettengill914 $3 and $6????? Every place I've checked thy are between $50 to $110 each, that's OM and aftermarket.
I just bought a 2010 Equinox and this just happened. I really appreciate this video!!
Just did it on my 2010 Equinox, thank you so much! Crazy little hack. Thank goodness I only wasted 15$ on the guy "sealing my tire". Which obviously did nothing 😑
Worked flawlessly on our 2011 Equinox LTZ. Thanks for this.
Thanks worked like a charm
I just followed every step to the T on my 2014 Equinox. The horn didn't honk as I deflated each tire, but everything else went as shown in the video. I hope it works! I guess I'll know for sure in a few days! Thanks for the video!
same problem with me, the horn didn't work. how's your update?
@@Summeramennnnn you need a relearn tool for 2012 and up equinox.
Mine too it's 2012 ..the horn didn't pip at all....🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I used your instructions on a 2010 and it worked great. Thanks.
Very helpful thank you. However, I suggest telling your viewers that they need to have an air pump before they start the process. Thanks again!
It's common sense you dummy

At least I'm a child with common sense. You're an "adult" who lacks basic knowledge.
@@charlest5604 Be nice
Not really, not until he days to deflate air.. but, I’d hope most People would stop at that point if they don’t have access to air.
Thank you. I have a 2019 Equinox. It is pretty much the same as you showing us. The sensor was showing the front right tire was at 19 PSI. I check to pressure and it was at 35 PSI's. I then checked the spare. It was at 30 PSI's. Not 60 PSI's. i added air to the spare then follow your instructions about all the tires. The add air sign went off.
I bought a TPMS Reset tool on Amazon for 10 bucks. Makes the whole process faster and easier. Worked on my 2012 GMC Terrain & a 2019 Chevy Express van.
Link or particular brand??
Thank you so much for making this. And thanks for the trip down memory land with the blue intro screen! If I had to guess, I would say Windows Movie Maker. I borrowed my sisters car and it's having this problem. I mentioned it to her and, as if it were no bid deal, informed me it's been like that for a year. I shouldn't need to say that she's 22 and blonde. lol. Tomorrow I'll have her come over and I'm going to have her do it. A while back I talked her through replacing her throttle body over the phone, so she's not totally helpless! As far as this process, what a joke. As a mechanic, it's absurd what they put us through with some of these processes. Feels more like a dance than work. I've never come across this issue and am so thankful I found your video first thing and didn't have to sit through an hour of nonsensical bs as per usual. Thank!
I've come to your videos 2 times to solve my issue so i subbed.. thank you so much for help. 💚
I have the 2011 Buick Regal Turbo, but I applied the same technique as the Chevy Equinox just a little difference in setup and it worked great, thanks.
it worked for me but without decreasing air from tires... i just kept the egnition on& i filled some air....thank u
then you literally only needed air
"My tires were low and I filled them up and theyre not low anymore"
I have a 2015 Camaro and I am pretty sure this will work for my car too, if it doesn't I will come back and edit this comment. Thank you so much for detailed instructions I have written them down and I will keep them in my car because this happens every so often.
Worked for me, too! When I let the air out of my tires, my horn did not honk. It did work perfectly though!! 😊
Thank you so much this valuable information help me to reset mine on my 2013 Chevy Malibu LT
I have a 2019 Buick Encore AWD and my son blew out the right rear tire a year and a half ago( less than 20,000 miles on the tires ) and we couldn't find 1 of the same tire anywhere so we had to buy 4 new tires. Of course the sensor showed the psi loss when the tire sidewall was damaged but after the new tires were installed that sensor didn't show anything so I'm going to try this method which is similar as it's a GM vehicle but it's 7 years newer so there will be small differences. This video shows what I have always told people who depend on that screen to check tire pressures, it is not an accurate reading, it's more to warn of psi losses of over 5-10 psi. I even have 4 different tire pressure gauges, 3 different make stick types and a digital one. They all show a different pressure with differences of 1-3 psi on the same tire. ps. the tire shop owner told me that if I could have gotten the same make and model of tire and since the other tires were barely worn down I could have used one tire but even within one maker and different models of that same size tire there are differences in the outside measurement and on an AWD that would throw out trouble codes and may cause the engine to go into low power mode making it impossible to drive.
Thanks dude. That pesty light had been bugging me for over two months. Once I went to the info page that displayed all four tires, it seemed to reset itself. Don't ask me how, but it did. Take care, great video.
Thanks. I have a 2012 GMC Terrain. The reset worked for me. The horn didn't blow when I left some air out of the tires, but at the end it was all good!
Your video was VERY INFORMATIVE and I thank you for explaining everything. You did a FANTASTIC JOB.SAVED me ALOT OF AGGRAVATION,👍 THANK YOU
what a hassel , For 30 years I always use a round tire pressure gauge ( non digital , non electric , all mechanical
, the same gauge you use on cystern , well water pumps and tanked air compressors ) with an air chuck , my gauge is more accurate than the digital sensors . 🔩🔧 Their computer air pressure is just another thing to cost money some day when it breaks.. Thanks for Vid .
I'm with you. The new cars are great until something breaks. Alot of it is controlled by computers, so repairing things yourself gets more and more complicated.
I have one tire that is low. Car is showing wrong tire. Can I do a reset without getting the low tire fixed?
I'm asking because I try to do the reset but when I go to the 1st drivers side front tire and let tge air out , the horn does not honk at all.
Am I just not letting enough air out? I let a lot out
Thank you! I can rotate the tires myself (saving $) and re-calibrate the valve stems, so it shows the correct tire on the screen. Also I was going to buy the tool to do this, but don’t need to know with this great tutorial....
So thorough and easy to follow. Thanks
I did this today on my 2012 Equinox and it worked perfectly.....THANKS!!
Thanks for the video. I gave it a try and everything was going well until I started letting air out of the front driver side tire. After draining the tire to 5psi I realized something wasn't right. It should have honked by then. The tires were recently rotated so I don't know if that screwed things up. I eventually took out the tire gauge and found the low tire...and then let about 15 psi out of the tire I thought was low...lol. All is well now!
all my tires are a 35 psi but it still says i need to service the monitor system i tried to let out the air and it didn’t honk at me. i got it down to 5 psi and got scared to go further as i didn’t wanna break the seal. idk what to do now though because it won’t reset
@@madeleinechevrefils6340 You probably need a sensor
I Just had 4 brand new tires put on. The 2 on front registered as right amount of pressure. The back tires registered a code 4 on left rear driver side and 1 on right rear passenger. Eventually they now are blank. I'm m told I need to buy a tire key until I saw this video 4 my 2013 Equinox. I'd rather save 25.00 if I can. Will try this.
Thanks, I thought my sensors were fucked and I was gonna have to pay for new ones but this solved my problem
Same thing happened to me. But I didnt do all 4 tires. I just went to the tire showing "off", deflated, then inflated back to proper pressure. It worked.
Thank you! This has been driving me crazy!
Thanks for this informative video. Now im going to try it.
Thank you for the video. Has anyone had issues with this not working on a 2013 equinox LTZ? I've tried these steps below step-by-step but I'm not hearing the chirping when I'm deflating the tires.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You saved my day! Have a bless year.
I have a 2011 chevy traverse and its the same for most chevy cars with the tire sensor just bleed some air not all and let it sit it will eventually honk
I found your instructions very helpful. Thank you for taking time to do the video
thank you buddy..guys like you are the real mvp man 💪🏿💪🏿
Thank you so much. This video helped me out. I was able top reset the tire pressure.
Perfect! This just happened to me and i was stumped. Thanx!
Thank you for the tips bro! It worked on my 2011 Chevy Cruz .
Great video!.....glad I found it again!!!
Very helpful and informative video good work
My 2010 Camaro SS is doing the same thing . Can I do this for my Camaro? Very informative videos thank you so much for posting.
Thanks. Will try it out. I think you just saved me $90 plus tax on this. :).
I followed your movement's precisely, but while draining my front left tire till deflation my vehicle never honked. I carried on thinking it would work the kink out in the same order as you. No change's. My rear passenger tire is still showing a vertical plus sign. Any suggestions?
Appreciate this information.. it is right and 💯
Good job on the video. Im about to try it now on my Equinox
I did the first part of hitting reset/clear. Then I started the car and drove off! It registered within 30 seconds!
This is great info thank you!!
What happens if the horn doesn't honk while releasing the air.
Thanks
Very useful on my 2012 GMC Terrain. I appreciate it
It didn't work on my 2012 Terrain, Owners manual said I needed the reset tool so I bought one on Amazon for $10.00 super easy process and you don't have to let any air out of your tires. Just need to adjust tire pressure if they were already low.
I tried this on my damn 2010 camaro, got the left front to honk but tried my right front but no honk... idk if it’s a bad sensor or not... deflated the damn thing 3 times and still no honk to confirm
Amazing video!
Thanks for this video
Nice.. tire rotation were a pain bc of that
Absolutely.. especially to staggered set up.. or next time buy a Denso TPMS.. no need to relearn and all the drama stuff... automatically it will clone the system and relearn itself.. the shit thing is Denso TPMS is very expensive. ... Pain...
Thank you so much it really help me
Very, very helpful bro
Thank you so much it worked
Is this the same way to fix the reading of the tires pressure on the dash board? Because my 2015 Chevy traverse has the problem on the dash board the is reading the from tire pressure wrong when in reality is reading the pressure of the rear right tire and backwards
Great video. Now my specific problem is I've lost the digital speed readout on the dash. (Tire pressure and all other indicators work fine). Mine is a 2012 Equinox and hopefully someone can suggest what to do (that is, if it's repairable by the average Joe).
I'm not an expert by any means, but sometimes it's easier to get a dash from a junkyard. But, a year late response means nothing if you've already traded it in
Hay just did this to my chevy equinox 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your video
Will this work the same in a 2011 Eqinox. I was told that my tire is dry rotted and I wondered if doing these steps you showed will help me. I dont have a husband cause he is deceased and I have no one to help me. Getting down on my knees is hard to do for me because Arthritis will not let me squat down or get on my knees. I know I probably need a new tire but will the monitor reset itself after I do that. I has always reset itself before. I appreciate any help you can give me.Thanks.!!!!!
Sunrot shouldnt make your tpms light come on, you probably just need to add air then follow the steps in the video to fix the light
hi I just followed every steps, but the horn did not work if after my tire is flat. do you know how about this ?
It worked Thanks so much
Thank you so much
Hey Guy, thanks so much, works great!!
thanks ,I let air out of each tire but horn would not sound but it did work anyway
Do you remember how much air you let out of the tire before going to the next one?
How did you know to go on to the next tire without the honk?
What's wrong with my 2012 Chevy Equinox LT is my TPMS comes on but my tires are not low. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you
This does not work after a tire rotation. Just a heads up for anyone out there watching.
Yep. Just had the same issue. The tire place didn't use their computer to reset the system. Those that say the horn didn't honk, but then kept going to other tires didn't actually fix the issue. They just filled the tire(s) that needed air. But hey, if the light is off the light is off! Just get into the habit of checking manually every few weeks.
Is this the same procedure on a 2013 Equinox?
Good job man
Will this work on 2011 GMC Terrain as well
Hello fella, do you know why the first driving tire doesn't start re-learning? I put the car in re-learning mode, and it honked twice, then I saw the light above the driver's tire which should indicate the tire we are re-learning.
Then I'm stuck. Tried to deflate or inflate this tire 10 times but the car doesn't honk so I could go to the next one. Any help?
Tried to put a bit more air before the start, but it didn't help. Just changed my winter tires to all-season ones and same issue again I had in the past.
What advice do you have on the sunroof not closing? Jeje
?Should I have to empty the air or fill the tire , if I want to reset the tire pressure monitoring system
How much air do I have to take out? I went down to 14 and it didn’t honked.
Keep doing this
When you put the air and it pop up the sign how do I clear it so it does show? My mechanic was the one he put the air on.
Did not work for me. My wife has a 2017 Equinox. I do not have anything in my PSI for the driver side tire. It just says “- -“, so odds are we will have to bring it in
I tried this, I went into program mode, started at left front letting air out, but it didn't honk, I went down to 10 psi and still didn't honk once, so I'm stuck now! Any help?
Hi I tried this and did not work for me i have a 2012 chevy Equinox used your instructions deflated the front driver side tire no honk sound tried the other tires no honk sound...? wonder why its not working for me...?
I did the video step by step only two of my tires read other two read zero can I repeat the process and skip the two that worked
Very helpful
THANK YOU VERY MUCH1
Will this work on a 2015 Chevy equinox?
My equinox only marks one tire the driver side front you have any idea why?
Whatbdoni do if the system can't see the front passenger side at all😊
This didn't work for my 2015...but if you use the public air pumps like located @ Kroger (Xact Air), that digitally reads your pressure for you it will fix your pressure correctly 😉.
Excellent
You're a hero
What do i do if my car doesnt honk the second time when I decrease the air?
I have a 2014 equinox. I keep getting a low tire pressure warning even though I kept putting air. I would like to try this method. Do you recommend me using this method even though I have a 2014?
Yes, it should be the same for the 2014 model year
Altoelder ok so my car never honked and my jump box air compressor sucked. I used my bf tire inflator to fill my 2 right side tires and I had to turn the car on to fill my rear left. Overall it worked. I thought I had an issue with my tire but I guess it was the sensor. Either way thank you for the video! It helped immensely!!
I did that but my vehicle is tire gauges are not showing on the rear driver and passenger side it says tire monitor system
How do you do the same thing on chevy cruze ltz 2015 model? Engine must be running before you can access the tire relearn menu. Is this correct? Mine is the keyless entry type.
I tried this today and didn't work. how long do I have to wait for the car to honk ?I
let almost all my air out my tire and the car didn't honk
is it the same way for 2015 chevrolet cruze?
Hi just bought 2013 lt2 can't seem to find tire pressure monitoring ? 😕 help please i gone through the menu 5 times can't seem to find it
Will this work for a 2007 Equninox AWD?
