These instructions apply to the Chevrolet Impala Mk9 (W-body) 2006-2013.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
The 2006–2013 Chevrolet Impala has a direct TPMS with a sensor in each wheel. After a rotation you relearn which sensor sits where — and on this generation you do it with the key fob, no tool required. This is the US-market procedure.
- Set all four tires to the placard pressure, apply the parking brake, ignition ON (engine off).
- Press the fob’s LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together for about 5 seconds — the horn sounds twice and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE shows, starting at the driver-front.
- At each wheel in order — driver-front, passenger-front, passenger-rear, driver-rear — briefly add or release air until the horn chirps (up to ~30 seconds).
- After the driver-rear the horn sounds twice: learning is done. Switch off and set all four to the placard pressure.
You have two minutes for the first wheel and five overall; if it times out, start again.
Chevrolet Impala tire pressures
Cold pressures and tire sizes are on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver-side center (B) pillar — that placard is the authority. The compact spare takes 60 psi.
FAQ
Do I need a tool?
No — the 2006–2013 Impala relearns with the key fob plus a quick pressure change at each wheel. (The later 2014–2020 Impala needs a relearn tool instead.)
What order are the wheels?
Driver-front, passenger-front, passenger-rear, driver-rear.
Light won’t clear.
Re-check cold pressures and repeat; a flat sensor battery needs replacing.
