TPMS not reading - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My driver side TPMS are reading normal pressures. My passenger side are not reading anything. There is no active warning on the dash. I guess if it doesn't fix itself I may take it in. Has anyone experienced this?

Do you have the Scosche kit installed?

I had a similar issue and it turned out to be the Scosche:

I do not have a Scosche kit. I do have a tune. It guess it is possible it could be causing it.

Hum... Are both passenger tires doing it?

The TPMS transmits it signal to the "Remote Door Lock Controller Module". It is possible that there is an issue with that.

In the case of the Scosche, it plugs into the Body Control Module which is the same as the RDLCM.

Yes, both passenger tires do not have a signal.

It is extremely unusual for two sensors to go out. I would bring it into the dealer and have them test it out.

Do you have any issues unlocking the car via remote or doing a remote start (if you have an automatic)?

Just stop by the dealer and see if all it takes is for the car to 're-learn' the sensors.
Yes it has to be done by the dealer unless you have purchased the special black box tool they use.
The whole procedure to re-learn all 4 sensors only takes 3-5 min tops, and odds are they'll do it for free while you wait.
If that doesn't solve the problem, then since you're already at the dealer, they can diagnose the problem.

Door locks and remote start work fine. I guess I will take it in. Not to excited that they will see the tune but I knew at some point they would. It will be interesting to see if they blame the tune right away as the issue and void warranty.

Sorry to jack the thread, but have any of you noticed a difference in the tpms vs a handheld analog gauge? One of my tires reads 32 on the tpms, and on the gauge it's down to 22

I've only seen a +/- 1 lb difference on 1 tire. 10# is significant. May be a faulty TPMS.

Do you have an aftermarket headunit? Curious to see if you are experiencing the same issues many of us are.
