How do you clear the service tire monitor on a Chevy?

If the service tire monitor light is illuminated on your Chevy vehicle, it indicates that there is an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). To clear the service tire monitor, you'll need to follow a few simple steps. This article will guide you through the process of resetting the TPMS on your Chevy.

Steps to Clear the Service Tire Monitor

1. Locate the TPMS reset button. This is usually found near the steering wheel or in the driver's side door jamb.


2. Turn the ignition to the "On" position, but do not start the engine.


3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button for 5-10 seconds until the service tire monitor light blinks or turns off.


4. Start the engine and let the vehicle run for a few minutes to allow the TPMS to reset.


5. If the service tire monitor light remains illuminated, repeat the process or consult your owner's manual for further troubleshooting steps.

It's important to note that the specific steps may vary slightly depending on the make, model, and year of your Chevy vehicle. Always refer to your owner's manual for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.

Why the Service Tire Monitor Light Turns On

The service tire monitor light is designed to alert you to an issue with the TPMS, which is responsible for monitoring the air pressure in your vehicle's tires. The light may turn on for a variety of reasons, including:

• Low tire pressure in one or more tires


• A malfunctioning TPMS sensor


• Damaged or worn TPMS components


• Incorrect tire size or replacement

By clearing the service tire monitor, you're resetting the TPMS and allowing it to recalibrate and detect any issues with your vehicle's tires.

Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure

To prevent the service tire monitor light from illuminating in the future, it's important to maintain the proper tire pressure in your Chevy vehicle. Check your owner's manual for the recommended tire pressure and use a tire pressure gauge to ensure your tires are inflated to the correct level. Regularly inspecting your tires for signs of wear or damage can also help prevent TPMS-related issues.

How to reset service tire monitor system on Chevy Cruze 2016?

To reset the 2016 Chevy Cruze tire pressure sensor, first turn the ignition to the "ON" position (without starting the engine) and then use the vehicle's menu to select "Tire Pressure" and "Relearn". Next, use a TPMS relearn tool (like the EL50448) to activate each tire's sensor, starting with the front-left, until you hear a honk for each one. Alternatively, you can deflate and reinflate each tire sequentially as the vehicle indicates the next one to service.

1. Get in the car: Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. 
2. Navigate the menu: Use the steering wheel controls to find the "Vehicle Information" menu and scroll to the "Tire Pressure" screen. 
3. Start the relearn process: Press and hold the "SET/CLR" or "Check" button until the display shows "Tire Learning Active" and you hear a double honk. 
4. Activate the sensors: Place the relearn tool against the valve stem of the front-left tire and press the button on the tool until you hear a single honk. 
5. Repeat for the other tires: Repeat the process for the front-right, rear-right, and rear-left tires, in that order. The car will confirm which tire it's looking for, often with a light on the dashboard. 
6. Finish the process: Once all four tires are reset, the car will honk twice to signal the process is complete. 
7. Start the engine: Turn the ignition off and then restart the vehicle. 

Method 2: Using air pressure (without a tool)

1. Start the process: Follow steps 1-3 from the "Using a TPMS relearn tool" method to activate the relearn mode. 
2. Inflate tires: Inflate all four tires to the recommended pressure plus 3 PSI, then let the air out of the front-left tire until the horn beeps once. 
3. Continue to the next tire: The vehicle will then indicate the front-right tire, so repeat the process until all four tires are done. 
4. Finalize: After the last tire, the vehicle will honk twice to signal that the process is complete. 
5. Reinflate all tires: Inflate all tires to their recommended pressure.

Step-by-step guide

1. Inflate tires: Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure, which is listed on the driver's side door jamb. 
2. Apply parking brake: Engage the parking brake before you begin the process. 
3. Enter relearn mode: Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine). Use the Driver Information Center (DIC) controls on your steering wheel to scroll to the tire pressure display. Press and hold the "Set/Reset" button (often a checkmark icon) until the horn honks twice, and the dashboard displays "TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE". 
   • Alternative: You can also press and hold the "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" buttons on the key fob until the horn honks twice. 
4. Activate sensors:
   • Start with the left front (driver's side front) wheel. Use a TPMS tool to activate the sensor by holding the tool against the valve stem until you hear a single horn chirp. 
   • Move clockwise to the right front (passenger's side front) wheel and repeat the process. 
   • Continue to the right rear (passenger's side rear) wheel and activate the sensor. 
   • Finish with the left rear (driver's side rear) wheel and activate the sensor. 
5. Complete the process: After the left rear tire is activated, the horn will honk twice to signal that the relearn procedure is complete. 
6. Turn off the vehicle: Turn the ignition to the "OFF" position to exit the relearn mode. 

How do you reset the service tire monitor system on a Chevy?

To reset a "Service Tire Monitor System" message on a Chevy, first ensure all tires are at the correct pressure, then use the vehicle's Driver Information Center (DIC) to initiate the relearn process, usually by pressing and holding the "Check" or "Set/Reset" button until the relearn mode is activated. You may need a special TPMS tool to activate each tire's sensor, or your car may require you to manually let air out of each tire for a few seconds to trigger the sensors. 
Step 1: Check and inflate tires 

• Make sure all four tires (and the spare, if applicable) are inflated to the recommended pounds per square inch (PSI).
• The recommended PSI is typically listed on a sticker on the driver's side door jamb. 

Step 2: Initiate the relearn mode 

• Turn the ignition to the "On" or "Accessory" position without starting the engine. 
• Navigate to the tire pressure display in the Driver Information Center (DIC) using the buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard. 
• Press and hold the "Check" or "Set/Reset" button until you see a message like "Relearn Tire Positions" or "Learning Active".

Step 3: Relearn the tire positions 

• The vehicle's computer will now cycle through the tires, starting with the driver's front. 
• You may hear a double honk, and the dashboard will indicate which tire it is currently learning. 
• Use either a TPMS tool on the valve stem or release air from the tire for about 5 seconds until you hear a single honk, which confirms the sensor has been learned.

• Repeat this process for the other three tires in the correct sequence (e.g., front-right, back-right, back-left).
• A final double honk usually indicates that all four sensors have been successfully relearned. 

If the message persists

• If the error message remains after following these steps, there might be a faulty sensor, a dead battery in one of the sensors, or another system malfunction.
• In this case, it is best to schedule a service appointment to have the system diagnosed.
