Not a big deal or expense
_________________________________________________________
$140.00 plus shipping is no big deal? For tire pressure sensors?

It gets better, some aftermarket wheels will not accept the old style sensors (green with metal stems) they will only accept the newer style sensors with rubber stems. If this is true in your case as it was in mine, you will need to buy the newer style directly from GMC  approximately $115 each. I have not seen them listed on e-bay yet. Now for the bad news, Depending on where your Tahoe is registered, it may not pass a DOT inspection with a warning lamp on indicating a bad or missing sensor, that is defiantly the case here in NY.

Don't ask me if this works or not- but I was inquiring about the same problem at a local tire shop. The owner said if you put one of the sensors in your glove box it will turn off the light. Try it, if it doesnt work try and put them all in there. Let me know.

Just exactly how do these sensors work? Is it some type of RF that the sensor sends to the dash to keep the warning light turned off? These sensor units must transmit some type of signal if you can put one in your glove box and turn off the warning. (Assuming that actually works)

As each wheel rotates a sensor mounted on the suspension near each wheel communicates to the wheel sensor (pressure transducer) and receives current pressure.

Poss new problem power lift gate

I had my Tahoe in for the the windshield wiper problem and had them look at the power lift gate. When it would reach full open it would make a clunk. They look at it and had to replace the control module because it was coming apart. So if your lift gate is making a louder noise have it looked at

07 LTZ Nov Build: Squeaky Headliner
by race1
-
Jan 26, 2007 (6:21 am)

|
Hello, I have about 1200 miles on a new LTZ. Which I love. I noticed that the headliner in the rear squeaks loudly around the 3rd row dome light. There is a clear plastic on plastic squeak when that is pressed or while driving. All other areas of headliner are fine. Overall fit/finish excellent. Any thoughts or remedies on plastic on plastic noise?
Thanks,

Have you asked the dealership. It might just be a mis-fitting item that will take them a few minutes to fix.

This comes way too late for rwerner, but it may clear up any confusion. I'm familiar with all of the Bose automotive amplifiers because I'm an EE for the company. The amp used in the Tahoe is assigned to a team of engineers of which I belong to. The Tahoe does not have CenterPoint but the amplifier does employ digital signal processing (DSP). The amp in the Tahoe is a 5000 series amp. We assign project names to most of our amp designs at rollout which are used internally to easily identify them. The amp in the Tahoe is referred to as "Lugnut". As with all of our amps, each vehicle model's interior is EQ'd with complex microphones resulting in a EQ curve that is loaded into the amp's processor each time the system is powered up. The more complex amps actually use a different EQ for cloth versus leather interiors. Because so many things can be tweaked to the signal in the digital realm, analog signals are passed through analog to digital converters, or CODEC's as they are known. After processing is complete, the signal is passed back thru the CODEC's where it's sent to the final power amplifiers. The CenterPoint feature found in the Yukon Denali, as well as AudioPilot use a completely different amplifier (a 6000 amp), and consequently a totally different wiring harness. While it's possible to retrofit the Tahoe with the 6000 amp, it would require the removal of many interior components. I would imagine that GM would balk at performing such a request.

Exact same model and build month here on my LTZ and exact same problem. Truck is tight as a drum everywhere else. Must have been a problem on the line. I hope they come out with a TSB fix because I would hate for the dealer to have to tear apart the entire headliner and start doing exploritory surgery on my brand new baby.
