Just had a balance/rotation done on my 07 Yukon 2500 SLT and now my tpms sensor low pressure is popping up on all 4 wheels. Tire center re-learned sensors twice and still won’t go away. Any ideas? These are not factor wheels or tires if that matters..

maybe they didn't do it right, on the 2007 you should be able to do it yourself without any special tools

On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the DIC INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the SET/RESET button until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the learn mode has been enabled. The left front turn signal also will be illuminated
Starting with the left front tire increase or decrease the tire air pressure for 8-10 seconds until you hear the horn chirp, once you hear the horn proceed to the front right tire and do the same until you have completed all 4 wheels in a clockwise pattern left front, right front, right rear, left rear.

I'll add that if they were programmed with other GM vehicles nearby, the system could get messed up too.

Do it again yourself but make sure no other GM cars OR remotes are nearby when you do it. The air pressure warning is set to about 10 psi below the door sticker. But a Tech-2 can easily change this setting. Mine are programmed to light up at 40 psi as we're running LT tires @ 50 psi. Convert to Kilopascals.

Why are we converting?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding but, if I understand correctly, you are saying that the dash is telling you all your tires are LOW.

It sounds to me like when the shop did your balance/rotation that they probably checked your air pressure and dropped them all down to the recommended pressure for a 1500 instead of realizing yours was a 2500.

2500 recommended pressure is 50psi front and 71psi rear.

1500 recommended tire pressure is 30psi for 17" wheels and 32psi for 20" wheels.

71 or 60?

Good call.

I'll see your Tire and Loading Information with 16" tires and raise you 17" wheels!

View attachment 216331

We got quite the knowledge base here!

Well technically the OP has 18" wheels but that is irrelevant because his truck will still be looking for whatever PSI the BCM was programmed to look for. Whatever his door tag says is what should be followed.

My bet is the tire shop set his pressures at 35psi as that is pretty SOP around most tire shops.

I think you're right Ken! Totally missed that!

Does he have 265-65-18s? Another door sticker to get hold of!

Got it, he's going to need to drop his air (in the rears at least) if running LTs and of course reprogram the RCDLR to keep the warning lights functional.

So Set the tires to the door sticker PSI? Today rear left tpms show dead battery per les schwab and needs to be replaced. I bought one today and will have it installed and set tires to the psi on the door sticker. I should be ok then right?

if your tires are the size shown on the chart then yes, otherwise they need to be within 10 psi of the chart in order to make the error go away.

If you do that with those 33s she's going to ride like a rock. But the annoying light will come on until you have it reprogrammed for the right air pressure. If it were mine, I'd set them to 50 psi and 65 psi for now.
