Tire Pressure Sensors

RE: Tire Pressure Sensors
Are you talking about the tire pressure monitor system... there are not pressure sensors on the wheels. It is based on wheel revolutions. Just install the new wheels and reset the tire monitor system (see owners manual, but I believe it is either thru the radio or by turning on the headlights 3 times) and you shoul dbe all set.

I thought there were sensors in the wheels? Was the 2000 model before they started using individual sensors?

I have a 2007 Monte Carlo SS and just had new tires put on as soon as the car was taken on the interstate the TPMS started to come back up on the dash, does anybody know if this can be reset without taking it to the dealer and spending money I don't have.

Just a thought, but it could be a possibility that they didn't replace the tire sensors after putting on the new tires.
A similar scenario happened with my sister's car where she had gotten replacement tires and the sensors were never reinstalled because they replaced them with standard valve stems. It was constantly telling her that she had a low tire, even though they were all inflated to the correct pressure and the tire pressure monitor was reset twice.
She took it back to the shop and they reinstalled the sensors like they should have from the beginning.

I actually thought about that, checked my receipt and they charged me for it. I am taking the car back to Good year tomorrow cause they also did an alignment and now the car veers off to the left when you let go of the steering wheel. They said they would double check that. I originally had the front sensors break because of some road construction, so it keeps saying that the monitoring system needs maintenance. Was just wondering if I could reset it myself.
