Reset the TPMS on a 2013 Chevy Silverado

To reset the tire pressure sensor on a Chevy Silverado 2013, you typically use the steering wheel controls to relearn the sensor IDs after inflating the tires to the correct pressure. The system does not require a special tool in most cases, but you must drive the truck under specific conditions for the relearn to complete.

Step-by-Step Reset Procedure

Verify all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure listed on the door jamb sticker.

Start the engine and let it idle for a few seconds.

Use the arrow keys on the steering wheel to navigate to the Vehicle Information menu.

Select Tire Pressure Monitor System and choose the Relearn option.

Follow the on-screen prompts to initiate the relearn sequence.

Drive the truck at speeds between 20 and 50 mph for several minutes until the system confirms completion.

When the Reset Will Not Work

If the warning light returns immediately or the relearn option is grayed out, one or more sensors may have failed, a sensor battery may be dead, or a tire may have a slow leak. A failed sensor will need replacement before the system can relearn. Mechanical issues like a faulty valve stem or a corroded sensor connector can also prevent successful reset.

Tips for Avoiding Future Alerts

Check tire pressure monthly, including the spare.
Replace TPMS batteries when the low-battery warning appears, as the sensors are non-serviceable in most cases.
After rotating tires, perform the relearn procedure so the system registers the new positions.
