#1 of 6 2008 GMC Sierra tire monitor problems by vmax60 Jan 03, 2008 (3:15 pm)
Is anyone having problems with the tire monitoring system in the new 08 Sierra 1500. I have a problem with the horn beeping twice and than a message coming up saying that the tire monitoring system is in active learning mode. This will be the second time in the shop to fix the problem.

Replying to: vmax60 (Jan 03, 2008 3:15 pm) Mine in my 07 went nutz because I aired down my tires for the winter traction from the recommended 50 front/70 rear. Now i have a constant Service tire warning lght and message and I can't reset it ! Will have to wait till spring after snowplowing season is over to send it to dealer.   If any other issues pop up I will have it taken care of all at once as the tire pressure warning message is a non issue with me!   Funny tho....My 03 Cadillac also has the tire pressure monitors and haven't made a peep in almost 5 years since new no matter what !

Replying to: vmax60 (Jan 03, 2008 3:15 pm) VMAX, I'm wondering if you've added anything aftermarket to your truck. Such as new stereo, navigation system, or even new tires? I have a 2007 GMC Yukon, and I've been having problems with my tire monitor system ever since the day I bought it, and after countless times in the shop, GM is now claiming that it's the GPS unit of my navigation system that's causing the issue. They also claim that it *may* be the tires I just changed too. The problem with those 2 arguments is that the SUV had this exact same problem before I even bought it, and I just changed the tires 2 months ago. I've had the vehicle since May of 2007 and GM has this vehicle on record as having tire monitor issues in February of 2007. GM is obviously trying to wiggle out of something that is obviously a flawed system by placing blame on anything aftermarket that they can.

Replying to: holemaker (Oct 04, 2009 6:34 pm) Check with the local tire shops. They likely see this more often than the dealer. Practice makes permanent. My exposure to the challenge was at a Discount Tire store where I had the tires rotated, balanced, and brought up to pressure on my "new-to-me" 07 NBS LTZ. Took two tries, but they got it done. I went to Discount Tire 'cause they carry the Nitto tires that I were on the truck from the previous owner. I was happy with the service. I am happy with the Terra Grapplers so I wanted to know a bit more about the service center for next seasons replacements.
#6 of 6 08 Trailblazer tire pressure monitor by dmix28 Oct 13, 2009 (6:56 pm)
I have an 08 Trailblazer LT3 and my tire monitor system goes nuts about every three days , I have taken it in about 6 times to have the system "re- learned" and even have the sensors changed, I love my trailblazer but I don't love the service tire monitor light that keeps going off
