How to do "Tire Learn" after tire rotation

[Billfromnj05]

I just got an email from my dealer that it may be time to rotate the tires. I just hit 4k in car brought it back on Memorial Day weekend of this year. I can rotate tires when the car is due for its first oil change no? And if the tire learn is not redone what does it mean the tos light will stay on or just the app will not show the correct psi for each tire? Cause if that cause I don't care, but a light will annoy me lol

If the tire rotation is free, then 4k is fine. I believe the manual recommends 7,500 mile intervals for the rotation. Also, failure to do a learn will do nothing more than cause the app to show the wrong pressure for each tire. No warning lights or anything.

My EL is on the way $68 shipped. I have two new GM cars and didn't want to pay foe every tire rotation. Not thrilled that old procedure no longer works but I have bought more expensive less used tools over the years.

My tire learn has never been set but, my onstar app tire pressure numbers are correct...

Received my EL today and it works great. Not thrilled about spending money on the tool but it was a good excuse to get another cool tool.:banana:

What River_Rat meant by the app showing the wrong pressure is that if you don't re-learn your tires after a rotation the app will show the tire and it's pressure in the wrong location. The reported pressure for the tires are correct, it will just think it's the right rear when it's really in the right front position for example.

I've rotated my tires and didn't re-learn them. If I get a low pressure warning then I can use my tire pressure gauge to figure out what tire it is faster than you can say On-Star app.

Of course always got to have a tire pressure gauge!

Since GM decided to make the Sonic's DIC completely useless and not even display tire pressure, and the OnStar app takes forever to update, I don't bother with the relearn. I just use a tire gauge.

I buy all my tires at discount tire in el paso, tx they were more than happy to do my tire relearning even when my tires were stock. Now everytime I take it for my free rotations they tire learn them. Best service in town plus lowest prices guaranteed, and no I don't work for them just recommemd for anyone living in El Paso, TX

I've rotated my tires a few times and never had a TPMS light come on????

 

[Natesriv]

I'm not sure it's location, more than 4 tires registered in the car's memory...

Doesn't hurt to relearn them on each rotation..

Is there a DIY receiver to do this? Why can't my cell phone do it with an app?

Me neither! I'm good with my little digital air pressure meter. I check at every full up.

The tires on my black Sonic were rotated about a week ago. My wife has driven it since then. Today she was on the highway and the tire pressure light came on. Once she hit city speeds, it went off. Checked the pressure with a gauge and they are all 35lbs. I wonder what could be causing the light to come on?

The recommended tire pressure on the LT is in excess of 35 psi. If you checked the tires when hot, and the pressure was at 35 psi, then when cold, the pressure is probably too low.

Look at the recommended cold pressure in the door jamb label, and inflate to that pressure when cold; then see if that doesn't resolve the issue.

just read through this thread and saw that the 2012 didn't display what tire was low when the light came on. this is not the case for the 2014. when my light comes on, I also get a reading on the digital part of the speedometer that indicates whether its the FR, FL, RR or RL. I haven't checked it for a TPMS reset procedure built into the car yet though.

I think the sticker says 35PSI for the LT with 16" wheels.

I checked them when hot and they all registered around 38PSI. I figured cold they should be around 35PSI.

The TPMS reset is accessible from the My Link system. I've seen it in the menu system but I haven't had to use it yet, I've only had the car two weeks.

I also haven't had the TPMS light come on yet, but it's nice to know it will indicate which position is low.

My 2013s don't display that info either.

unfortunately, my 2014 still needs to use the tool to reset the sensors. it has the tire learn in the menu on the speedometer, but it still needs the tool to go around to each tire. looks like im going to have the dealer reset it for me.

I have to say I don't care if it knows what corner each tire is on, but I would like the DIC to tell me what my pressures are. I run snows all winter (and just live with the light), but when I put my summer tires back on, the light went out, but now the DIC says LEARN where it should give me the pressures. Is this something I need the tool for?
