Default Service Tire Monitor System

I am getting this message when I start my 2006 Monte Carlo LT with 3.9.

"Service Tire Monitor System."

I was messing with and trying to "calibrate" the tires yesterday because the guagewas off from two handheld tire pressure sticks. So I put a little air in the tires. Than today it started giving me that message everytime I start it. ??

Ok, I am needing more help on this.

I did what you said and calibrated the tires again, so then message went away, but today it came back on. "Service Tire Monitor System" Should I just do it again, or should I actually have it checked out?

did you actually check your tire pressures? you might have a tire with a slow leak.

plus, after you fill the tire up, you ahve to reset the monitor. it doens't just go off on it's own.

on my 00-05 monte, you have to turn the radio off with the key on, hold the tune button for up to 5 seconds, then scroll thru the options there to Tire Reset or something to that matter and reset it.

Have it checked out it could be a bad sensor. I had my rear tire sensor replaced because it would work intermitently.
