What brand tpms sensor are you using?
Looking for a quality tpms at a good price.

Schraeder makes the OEM sensors for many brands. They're fine.

I tuned mine out. Not a fan of them.

I don't have a way to tune them out. I don't have the right scan tool. Time to replace the sensors, I'm tired of seeing the warning message when I go for a drive...

I'd bet someone near you does - or a dealer at the last resort. The process is super simple, if that's something you want to do.

I always used OEM GM parts - never a problem. But I believe they are made by Schraeder.

Just a follow up to this for anyone who uses the search feature. I used the schrader tpms sensors from rock auto. Broke the beads on my tires, installed the sensors, checked the tire balance and programmed the new sensors using the dic and a tpms magnet. Sensors work perfect, and I now show pressure for all four tires...

It was a cheap and fast repair, and no more annoying messages on the dic while driving...

I've seen videos of repairing a TPMS without removing the tire. I've never done it, but it looks pretty easy if you have the right tools. Just google "How to repair a TPMS sensor".
