Programming TPMS
Almost new 2023 C8. Can't seem to get the TPMS programmed. I go to the DIC and find the tire pressure setting. Hit the button and "relearn" pops up. I hold that button for 5+ seconds and usually to just goes back to "relearn". Once last week it actually gave me the tire pressures but I can't seem to duplicate that.
Am I missing something??
Thanks

The car should automatically relearn the TPMS sensors without intervention, there is a description in the owners manual. I forget what the relearn option is in the DIC but it might be that the relearn option in the DIC needs to be used with a TPMS tool.

This is correct.

They don't always relearn. I have 3 sets of wheels and tires sometimes they relearn through the dic other times they don't. I just got in the habit of using a tool it takes 30 seconds and you don't have to wonder.

I have multiple wheels and tires sets (daily summers, all seasons, two track sets) and all relearn on mine within a few miles.

I would hope that they did not go back to having to use a tool to get the sensors to sync with the car. That was a nice feature on the C7.

TPMS Sensor Matching Process — Auto Learn Function Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. The identification code needs to be matched to a new tire/wheel position after rotating the tires or replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors. When a tire is installed, the vehicle must be stationary for about 20 minutes before the system recalculates. The following relearn process takes up to 10 minutes, driving at a minimum speed of 20 km/h (12 mph). A dash (-) or pressure value will display in the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) 0 92. A warning message displays in the DIC if a problem occurs during the relearn process
I don't know if one needs to actually have the car stationary for 20 min after a rotation. But the car should relearn on its own without a tool. All my cars (of various makes) have always relearned without a tool

Yes that is exactly what the relearn option on the menu is for - to be used with the external hand held tool - according to the Service Manual that I have. And as you and others have noted, and as stated in the owners manual posted above by bhvrdr , you just need to drive the car following those steps. Do not use the "relearn" option on the menu - that actually defeats the automatic calibration temporarily.
