These instructions apply to the Chevrolet Tahoe (GMT900) 2007-2014.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
The 2007–2014 Chevrolet Tahoe (GMT900) has a direct TPMS with a sensor in each wheel. After a rotation you relearn which sensor sits where — and unusually, this generation does it with the key fob, no tool required. This is the US-market procedure, shared with the Suburban.
- Set all four tires to the placard pressure (below). Apply the parking brake and turn the 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. The system starts at the driver-front wheel.
- At the driver-front, briefly add or release air (about 5 seconds) until the horn chirps — that sensor is learned. (It can take up to 30 seconds.)
- Repeat in order — passenger-front, passenger-rear, driver-rear. After the driver-rear, the horn sounds twice and learning ends.
- Switch the ignition off and set all four tires to the placard pressure.
You have two minutes for the first wheel and five minutes overall; if it times out, start again.
Chevrolet Tahoe tire pressures (cold)
GM sets the pressures by fitted size and prints them on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver-side center (B) pillar — that placard is the authority. The common full-size-SUV figure is:
| Tire size | Front & rear (cold) |
|---|---|
| P265/70R17, P265/65R18 | 35 psi |
| P275/55R20 | 35 psi |
Set them cold and match your placard; it carries the exact figure for your truck’s tire and load rating.
FAQ
Do I need a TPMS tool?
No — the GMT900 Tahoe relearns with the key fob plus a brief pressure change at each wheel. (The later K2XX Tahoe needs a relearn tool instead.)
What order do the wheels go in?
Driver-front, passenger-front, passenger-rear, driver-rear.
The light is still on.
Re-check cold pressures and repeat the relearn; a flat sensor battery will need replacing.
