New TPMS not working...? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So what should I do?

Try going through the set up again. Make sure you follow the manual exactly. If you don't get the reset option, you may have to bring it to the dealer to find out why it's not working. The dealer may try and tell you that you need a relearn tool, though.

If I get charged, I'm gonna be pissed as hell!

Don't ask them to program your sensors, ask them why your car will not go into the learn process. That should be covered by the warranty. If they tell you need the tool, leave.

Alright, I'll see what happens Monday when I go. Thanks for the help man!

That inflate/deflate learn process does not work on newer Camaros. Not sure exactly when the change happened, but I think it was in 2012. My '13 needs a trigger tool to set the TPMS. I bought one from Tire Rack with my winter wheels. Maybe see if someone local has the tool, and can help you out? Takes all of 60 seconds.
Not trying to be a wise ass, but telling someone to read their owners manual is good advice, but don't quote a 2011 manual if the OP's got a 2012 car? These are the instructions from my 2013 OM.

I'm confused. If the inflate/deflate method doesn't and you need the tool, why does it say how to do it in your owners manual?

itsnotacrisis · 04-20-2014, 10:16 PM

My owners manual does NOT say to inflate/deflate. It says you need the tool. Read the pages I posted carefully, the instructions are different than the previous pages posted by Kid. I highlighted in yellow below.That's my point; the learn process was changed by Chevrolet. I'm not sure about when, but it might have been in 2012...Do you have the manual for your car? I'd suggest checking your specific owners manual.

MLAZ1990 · 04-20-2014, 10:21 PM

Yeah you're right, I shoulda kept reading! I seen the first 3 or 4 instructions were the same so I assumed it all was lol. Damn I don't wanna spend more money :(

itsnotacrisis · 04-20-2014, 10:28 PM

Reach out to some other members here. Someone local to you might have the tool, and be willing to help you out? I know I've helped a bunch of people out around me. I hear you about the money, but since I switch my wheels seasonally, it made sense for me to buy the tool, it was about $80. Not sure what a dealer would charge, but if your wheel change is a one time deal, it might be how you have to go.

You know where I could buy the tool?

itsnotacrisis · 04-20-2014, 11:56 PM

This is the one I have:
http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...toring+Systems

I've read that there are others out there, so it might be worth a search.

That page is from a member's '12 manual. I found it on this site by using the search feature. And you're showing your '13 manual...

And at the end of the day, the OP's car is still not going into learn mode from what he's saying. Learning tool, no learning tool...doesn't matter if the car won't go into learn mode.

MLAZ1990 · 04-21-2014, 08:35 AM

Yeah even when you use the tool, it still says to put the car in "relearn mode"...god damnit!
