How to Disable the TPMS in GM Vehicles

The U.S. Department of Transportation has mandated that all vehicles manufactured after 2008 include a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Although you cannot disable the TPMS in a General Motors (GM) vehicle, you can reset the system if you recently checked your tires and inflated them properly. If you do not adequately inflate the tire, however, the TPMS trouble light will remain on.

• Yes, proper air pressure. Make sure your gauge is good. I was going nuts because my lights would not shut off on my Kia Forte. Come to find that my gauge was reading about 4 lbs to high. Used a different gauge and all is fine. lights went off about 50 yrds up the road.
• The hardest battery replacement for any vehicle owner! Just to bleed you out of money if you take it to the dealer. They have to charge to : remove , sensor, install sensor , mount tire , balace and rotate. You could check TP on cars with a simple $5 tool.
