    Correcting tire size for TPMS (2011 Sierra)

    Is there a way to correct the tire size within the tune to eliminate a TPMS light? The dealer attempted it a couple times, eventually the light came back on both times. Running an LT size tire. The system wants me to put more air in the tire, a lot more. Ive been dealing with this damn light for a year now.

    TPMS is not realted to the tire size. 35 PSI in a standard P series tire is still the same as 35 PSI in a LT truck tire.

    Either you have faulty sensors in the wheels or something that reads the pressure from the TMPS sensors is acting up.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Hmmm. The dealers trying to tell me otherwise.

    The old old old school sensors tried to measure the number of revolutions on the wheel and compare to the others....maybe that's what the dealer is thinking about.
