If the Tire Pressure Management System in the Chevy Silverado is not working properly, you may have to reset the TPMS system. Follow these steps to re-initialize it.
The light indicator is a notification to warn you of significantly low air pressure or high-pressure loss in your tires and is NOT to be ignored, as low pressure affects the vehicles overall performance such as:
First, Check the Recommended Air Levels Needed:
Keep in mind, after tires are inflated, the outdoor temperature affects how fast the air in the tires will adjust to the proper temperature, this could take minutes, a day, 2 or 3, simply be patient and give the tires time to adjust. In addition, if the tire pressure warning light stays illuminated past a week, you will need to have your vehicle serviced as there could possibly be a sensor issue or a tire puncture.
NOTE: If you are unable to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning Light in the Chevy Silverado on the first try, REPEAT the steps. If you are still unsuccessful, contact the dealership for assistance or consult your vehicle user’s manual.

What does your Chevy "service tire monitor system" warning mean? What's involved in a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)? We're here to answer these questions and lend a hand with any tire-pressure-related concerns that you may have.
The "service tire monitor system" light can let you know of an issue with tire pressure or may indicate the TPMS itself is facing an issue. There are more complexities involved, so read on to see how it works, what it means, why your vehicle has it, and how to get it fixed. Sometimes it can require professional service at an authorized service center, and we're here to get it done for your Chevy Silverado 1500 lease, pre-owned Chevy Equinox, or any other Chevy model.
To understand what the Chevy "service tire monitor system" warning is, we must look at what a tire monitor system/TPMS is in the first place. Firstly, two types of TPMSs are used: direct and indirect. Direct TPMS, as the name suggests, directly gets a reading on tire pressure using a sensor mounted on the wheel and protruding into the tire. Indirect TPMS uses wheel speed readouts and fluctuations of it via the ABS sensor (and sometimes others) to get a measure of your tire pressure.
In either case, your vehicle is using a physical set of sensors to monitor tire pressure. When they detect pressure levels outside of a pre-programmed range, they let you know with the TPMS light on your dashboard, the "service tire monitor system" warning, a specific pressure readout on your infotainment screen, or all at once.
The TPMS light is separate from the "service tire monitor system" blinking light on your dashboard. But, it will typically be illuminated alongside it when a problem with tire pressure arises.
In some cases, it's simply there to let you know of suboptimal tire pressure but can indicate a deeper issue if it stays illuminated after filling the tires. Think about the positioning of such sensors. No matter if its on a Chevy Traverse lease or a used Chevy Trax, the sensors ride either inside or close to the wheels and are often subject to all the bumps and constant spinning force the wheels go through as you drive.
Many road contaminants can compromise indirect TPMS, and pothole-ridden commutes can do much the same for direct TPMS. Even then, these sensors can wear out and malfunction as the years roll on.
That's the gist of it. When your Chevrolet "service tire monitor system" warning comes on and does not turn off or is accompanied by a flashing TPMS light, it can mean your TPMS is malfunctioning and requires servicing.
Aside from indicating that your TPMS requires servicing, it is essential for several other reasons. When the Chevy "service tire monitor system" warning is displayed, tire pressure can be at or fall to suboptimal levels, or the tires may be compromised and unable to maintain proper tire pressure. The results of this can include problems like:
There's no benefit to incorrect tire pressure, only downsides. That's the purpose behind this warning. Maintaining optimal tire pressure or diagnosing and servicing the system malfunction as soon as possible is key to a healthy vehicle.
The TPMS light and "service tire monitor system" warning can often be reset by adjusting your tire pressure to optimal levels and then driving around like you normally would for several minutes, followed by turning the car off, then back on. If the GM "service tire monitor system" warning stays on after doing this or is joined by a flashing TPMS light, resetting it at home should not be attempted, and professional diagnosis and servicing at an authorized Chevy service center is required.
Sometimes it's a matter of installing new tires, and sometimes the sensors must be replaced. Sometimes it can be caused by deeper electrical issues, but it will require certified technicians to figure out and service in any case. It's not a cause for significant concern, but getting it taken care of as soon as you can is necessary to maintain vehicle health.
On most models, whether a Chevy Impala or Silverado, the "service tire monitor system" warning will often be displayed in the gauge cluster on either the instrument screen or the display in-between the gauges. So will the TPMS light. That said, whether you lease a Chevy Colorado or buy a Chevy Cruze, they all follow a similar process to reset the light: Fill the tires to the correct pressure, drive around, and turn the car off then on again. If that doesn't work, stop by an authorized service center.
When facing a Chevy "service tire monitor system" warning that doesn't turn off or is accompanied by a flashing TPMS light, we're here to help. Our service center will make finding the issue and servicing the system a breeze with top customer service, and your vehicle will ride smoothly in no time at all. Contact us, and we'll help set up an appointment today.
A Chevy "service tire monitor system" warning can mean one of two things. The first is that your tire pressure is suboptimal and requires adjusting to manufacturer-recommended levels. The second meaning applies if the warning does not go away after filling the tires or if a flashing TPMS light accompanies it. Such a situation means that the system has malfunctioned and requires diagnosis and servicing at an authorized service center.
The simplest way to reset the Chevy "service tire monitor system" warning light is by filling your tires with air to the optimal manufacturer-recommended pressure. This pressure level can be found in your owner's manual or on a sticker in your doorjamb. After doing so, drive around normally for as long as 10 minutes. Then, turn off the car, and turn it back on again. If this does not work, take your vehicle to an authorized Chevy service center for diagnosis, as a malfunction may have occurred.
Servicing a tire monitor system is a job that requires a set of advanced tools, thorough mechanical experience, and the correct parts per vehicle. It's not a job that should be attempted at home, and an authorized dealership's service center is the best way to have it serviced. You can find one such service center at Matt Bowers Chevy Metairie, and we have all the know-how needed to service yours and competitive prices to make it a breeze.

To do this, we will divide our article into two parts: first we will talk about the classic case when the tire pressure indicator appears and the subsequent operation, and then that the tire pressure indicator remains on despite the tires being inflated. So, how to reset this tire sensor on a Chevrolet Silverado.
First, we will look at the general approach to reset a tire sensor on a Chevrolet Silverado which if it lights up, here are the basic basic steps:

Excerpt from 2019 CX3 manual
Sometimes, if the oil pressure sensor is not working properly, the low oil indicator will flash on the instrument panel. This can cause the driver to panic because they will believe they have a low oil level, which will eventually damage the engine if true.

Kia oil pressure lamp is on.

Thank you for your informative videos! On the topic of the sensor, the question is, what if the lamp goes out with a slight delay? On my k4m, the oiler goes out 2-3 seconds after starting (it goes out last, after all the other lamps), and in your video it goes out immediately after starting the engine. How critical is it? I didn't notice this delay before.

Pavel Ivanov is absolutely right. The hall sensor in this video has not been tested. The extreme contacts going to the Hall sensor are plus and minus, they go to the Hall sensor, and on the average, a pulse minus should go from the sensor to the communicator (like so), so it needs to be checked.
