check tire pressure light

[coombia21]

the check tire pressure light keeps coming on everytime i start my truck and i have checked the tire pressure and they are all the exact same and at the reccomended psi is there any way to shut off the tire pressure system on my suburban or override that light

What year Suburban?

Does it tell you what the tire pressure is on the dash?

Have you checked the owners manual to see if there is a reset procedure yet (not sure what the trucks require for resetting the system)

If its just a generic light and no individual tire pressure readings than there is a possibility that a sensor is reading incorrectly. The only way to find out is with a TPMS tool.

Coincidentally I just Purchased the OTC model last week. Its pretty slick. I can walk around the vehicle and get (if equipped) the sensor ID, battery condition, tire pressure and tire temp.

Did you remember to check the spare too?

I don't think the spare has a sensor?

[coombia21]

it is a 2005 how much is the tool and what year it your suburban

the sensor is bad. i recently had one replaced, when the sensor is bad or if you put a regular valve stem in there it reads low pressure all the time. new sensor was 65$

I don't think the spare has a sensor?

Never rule it out though, but I also would think a 2005 Burb would not have a ducer in the spare. I am not a Chevy guy though. This is about the time things where changing. I know at least 06 on up Chryslers had them in the spare and maybe 05.

$550 for the kit. It is not vehicle specific. Its made to cover most if not all tpms systems. You probably wouldn't see me with a suburban in the driveway!!
