GMC Yukon: Reset TPMS

Your GMC Yukon has a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, TPMS, which helps keep your tires safe. Making sure that it is always activated is important. However, there are cases when your tires might be fully inflated, but your tire pressure light remains on. At this point, resetting the TPMS is your best solution.

2020 – 2022 Models

1. Turn on the ignition but keep the engine off.
2. Hold the TPMS reset button and wait for the sensor light to blink three times. The button is usually located under the steering wheel.
3. Start your car and wait for about 20 minutes for the TPMS light to disappear.

If the above method fails to work, you can try the following:

1. Turn off your car.
2. Disconnect the positive battery cable (you might need a wrench for this).
3. Turn on your car and honk your horn for about three seconds to discharge any remaining power in your vehicle.
4. Reconnect your battery and observe whether the TPMS light has gone off.

2017 – 2019 Models

You will need a TPMS tool for these model years to complete a TPMS reset.

1. Turn on your car.
2. Using the driver control options available on the right side of the steering wheel, select “Settings” and then “Display Options.”
3. Select “Tire Pressure” to open the relevant information page.
4. Exit the “Settings” page and navigate to the “Tire Pressure” options.
5. Hold down the “SEL” or any checkmark button your car has until you hear the horn chirp twice.
6. Starting with your left front tire, use your “Tool” to check the state of every tire using this pattern: LF, RF, RR, and LR.
7. Your horn should chirp every time it gets a signal from the sensors. It will chirp twice when it receives a signal from the LR sensor, indicating that the resetting process is complete.

2008 – 2016 Models

1. Turn on your engine and lower the driver-side window.
2. Navigate to the “Tire Pressure” options.
3. Hold down the checkmark button until you hear your car’s horn sound.
4. On your TPMS Tool, select details that are relevant to your vehicle. These may include make, model, and year of production.
5. Scan every tire using the TPMS tool, starting with the LF, RF, RR, and LR.
6. The horn should chirp every time it receives signals from the sensors and twice when it receives information from the LR sensor. This indicates that the resetting process is successful.
