Tire Pressure Monitor System ( TPM)

I recently had a flat tire that was repaired. When I got the car back the TPM indicated that the system needed to be reset. In checking the owners manual, there is a very specific set of instructions to follow in order for the system to relearn the sensors. I have tried to reset the system several times by either increasing or decreasing pressure in the tires. I followed the manual instructions exactly, and have not been able to get all 4 sensors set at the same time. Does anyone know if there is a trick to resetting this system, or am I going to be stuck taking this back to the dealer and paying to have them do it. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

Hey mayher, Try calling a dealer and asking them. I had trouble with the oil change sensor and called a dealer and found out that by depressing the accelerator 3 or 4 times that this resets it and it did work. Good luck.

Several have experienced difficulty resetting the TPMS, especially those with the newer rubber valve stems. Some have had better luck by adding air rapidly or letting air out rapidly. Hope this helps.

I believe you're stuck taking it to the dealer. They will reset your indicators over their link as opposed to your tried method. I had problems after rotating my tires to a point where the "!" message came on the display. It's my opinion that the user reset method is complete junk.

Thanks, appreciate the input, but I already did that. They told me to follow the procedure in the manual which based on the feedback I am receiving is not unusual.
Also tried letting air out rapidly as suggested by another post. Even tried taking out the valve core to let air out rapidly. That didn't work either, fortunately I have a compressor to refill in my garage.
Third response hit it right on the head. " System is junk"
System is not very user friendly.

Was this problem resolved or has anybody else had this experience? I have '07 Denali that was fine when I took out my daughter out of her carseat yesterday, but when I opened the rear right door this morning, the trim hit the front door and dented it. I took it to the dealership, but they didn't offer any help. They recommended a place to get body work done and told me it was an issue for insurance. I'm not sure how to move forward with this issue, as I am certain it is not something we did. Any advice would be welcome...

You should bring this up with the Service manager and start a file with GM customer support. It is the service departements mission to deny any type of warranty request. However if you can prove your case to the service manager they will often assist you.
What's interesting is that the trim never hit the front door before so why would it hit now? Unless of course something moved;

My best guess is that the trim came loose as a result of a pretty heavy storm that night. I think water got between the door and the trim and the adhesive can loose. It is only sticking out a small amount, but it was enough to hit. I have since seen someone about getting the body work done and he said that he has seen this issue a few times. He has offered to help me with pursueing warranty coverage and has said he will put me in touch with the guy who used to run the local GMC dealer service department. He says this guy can confirm that this is known though not recognized issue with the Denali. We'll see where this goes. I've been really happy with my Denali, but if we can't arrive at a satisfactory resolution, it will be the last GMC I own.

I had pieces of the door molding on my '07 Tahoe come off and they replaced it and a couple of those had to be replaced. I think they did a poor prep at the factory and the dealer as that 3M trim tape is really good stuff.
