Watch this video to see how to reset TPMS system in Chevy Equinox. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label.The TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message on the DIC display screen goes off. The horn sounds two times to indicate the sensor identification code has been matched to the driver side rear tire, and the TPMS sensor matching process is no longer active. Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 7.Proceed to the passenger side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 7.Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 7.A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tire and wheel position. Then press the button to activate the TPMS sensor. Place the relearn tool against the tire sidewall, near the valve stem.The horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode and the TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displays on the DIC screen. Press and hold ✓ in the center of the DIC controls. Use the DIC controls on the right side of the steering wheel to scroll to the Tire Pressure screen under the DIC info page.The info pages on the DIC (Driver Information Center) can be turned on and off through the Options menu. Make sure the Tire Pressure info page option is turned on.With the vehicle off, and the brake pedal not applied, pressing and holding ENGINE START/STOP for more than five seconds will place the vehicle in Service Mode. If it takes longer, the matching process stops and must be restarted. There are two minutes to match the first tire/wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four tire/wheel positions. See your dealer for service or to purchase a relearn tool. The sensors are matched to the tire/ wheel positions, using a TPMS relearn tool, in the following order: driver side front tire, passenger side front tire, passenger side rear tire, and driver side rear. The malfunction light and the DIC message should go off at the next ignition cycle. The TPMS sensor matching process should also be performed after replacing a spare tire with a road tire containing the TPMS sensor. The identification code needs to be matched to a new tire/wheel position after rotating the vehicle’s tires or replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors. TPMS Sensor Matching ProcessĮach TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. After the TPMS warning light turns off, and the vehicle has been parked for a few hours, reduce the tire pressure to the factory recommended value. If the low tire pressure light does not turn off automatically after reinflating the tires in your Equinox, increase the tire pressure by 5 psi on top of the factory recommended value, and drive your vehicle for at least 10 miles (16 km). Individual tire pressure information in the instrument cluster display or DIC (Driver Information Center) of Chevy Equinox. However, you will need to relearn the TPMS sensors if you rotate the tires or replace the sensors. There is no reset button like the one you see in vehicles with indirect TPMS system which uses ABS sensors to detect low tire pressure. There is no need to reinitialize the TPMS system in order to reset the warning light. Chevy Equinox uses the direct method for monitoring tire pressure, which means a pressure sensor actively records the internal pressure and air temperature of the tire on each wheel. Resetting the TPMS warning lightĪfter you have inflated all the tires to the correct air pressure, the TPMS warning light will turn off automatically. See the sidewall of any tire on your Equinox to find the tire size information. If you can’t find the label, check the size of your tire which is mentioned on the sidewall of the tire, and match it to the tire pressure information shown below. Reinflate all the tires of your Equinox to the manufacturer specified air pressure, which is mentioned on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label usually located on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver door. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. When the amber colored TPMS warning light turns on in your Equinox, stop your vehicle when it is safe to do so and check tire pressure on all the wheels, including the spare wheel (if your vehicle has one).
