First try the TPMS reset procedure. 1. key on engine off, parking brake on. 2. turn park lights on and off 4 times you will hear a horn chirp twice, you are in program mode. Start at L/F tire release air for 10 seconds, wait 15 seconds until horn chirp, after chirp go to R/F tire do the same until horn chirp then R/R let air out til the chirp then L/R do the same after the L/R chirp, turn key off and you are done, note you have only 5 min. to complete. If you do not hear horn chirp at each tire, you will have to start from beginning. When complete, remember to add air to each tire, 35 psi is recommended. If this does not work, you probably have a bad TPMS tire sensor which will require replacement. Some auto parts stores will diagnose your tire sensors for free, so check around.

Is it just a dummy light on the dash or is it more specific like L.F tire low,ect? if its a dummy light then you need to go to a garage with a tire pressure monitor service to to check to see if the batteries in the monitors are still good or if you are just dealing with a leaking tire. If you Tahoe uses wheel speed sensors to monitor tires and pressure you may have a faulty wheel speed sensor or a heads up that your wheel bearing is wearing and the gap between the tone ring and sensor have increase or decreased good luck

I have a 2006 Dodge Dakota and the cat monitor won't set.

Make sure it has the correct thermostat temperature, 3/4 tank of fuel. After it reaches operating temp, drive at 55mp for at least 5 min. 99% of the time this will do it. Good luck

Warning lights van

that is the tire pressure monitoring system warning light, letting you know that one or more of your tire pressures is lower than spec. Some people have the light come on after service to wheels/tires. Damage to TPMS sensors is common when removing tires from wheels.

Tire pressure monitor fault

Tire pressure sensors are just that, sensitive. If all your tire have the proper pressure and you still are seeing the sensor light and it comes back on after resetting it then the computer sensor monitor is at fault. Unless you can reset your cars' computer you will probably be stuck with going to the dealer for service. Call various other reputable service centers that have certified mechanics before turning out the big green at a FORD dealership though.

My "Service Tire Monitor System"

If all tires are properly inflated you have 1 or more bad tire pressure monitors in your wheels. Will need to hook up to a tire pressure monitor scanner & it will tell you which one is bad. They are connected to the bottom of your valve stem in every wheel.

I have a 93 Chrysler Town &Country mini-van yesterday on the hwy I thought I felt a wobble when driving but nothing was visibly wrong. Now I noticed a dragging or grinding sound and this time when I...

It shouldn't fall apart if you remove the tire and if it does you should be thankful you didn't drive it to the shop, jack that side of the vehicle up and then rock the tire from the top and bottom, sounds like you may have a bad wheel bearing, the grinding could be the bearing or it could be the rear drum dragging on the brakes or both. If the wheel has excessive wobble when rocked it is probably the wheel bearing.

How to retrain tpms after tire rotation?

I have a 2005 with tire pressure monitoring also and was surprised when I rotated the tires that the system continued to work O.K. The manual says the dealer must retrain the sensors to recognize the tires but so far mine seem to be working just fine.
Retraining probable requires digital readout box to reset the computer and unless you know someone who has one the dealer is probably your best bet.

Tire pressure monitor

32 psiis actually low for a 3500. I have a 1500 silverado that runs 44 psi cold. The tire inflation monitor , monitors inflated cirunference. Sooooo, If it isn'nt round enough, it will let you know. Driving warms up both the air and the tire,off course changing everything again. Pressure is up and tire is bigger. Ask me not how it can tell what is going on with the tire sitting still. I'm only on page 9,000, the answer is here somewher. :-) Well good luck. I do know the above is accurate._Ned_
