Tire Pressure Light

[Orion]

I have filled my tires all to 30 PSI, and I have tried holding the reset button in ACC and in the ON postion. Regardless, it doesnt change for flicker or anything. How can i get it to go off. I don't believe my tires where low, i mean I did replace my battery. So would that affect where the PCM thought my tire pressure should be?

Okay...Turn key to ON...Remove Driver Side Fuse Cover...Hold RESET for 5 sec...Push RESET 2 times (Tire Pressure Light will begin flashing)...Push and Hold till chime sounds.

Thank you

If it comes back in under say, a week or 2, then have your ride scanned for the "bad hub scenario". The vehicle speed sensor that goes bad not only is used to determine whether or not the vehicle's tires are spinning, ( the PCM comparing readings from multiple sensors ) but it also is used to determine if your tire is low. One sensor is reading revolutions in X amount of time, and the PCM is comparing it to the other wheel's sensor. So, using this sensor, and being programed to KNOW the diameter of your tire; it gets a reading that's faster than the opposite wheels from it, then it'll give you a Low Tire Pressure light.

Sorry my explaination was so long-winded, but I figured you'd want a reason for my suggestion. Hope this helps.

Thanks Man

with that in mind the light usually goes on when its in upper 20's for pressure so if you have a lot of fluxuation in weather... really cold at night and hot in the day its common for the tire to drop at night, trip the light in the morning and repeat, happened to me most of last month, just fill them to 32-35 if it keeps happening and see if that helps before u spend $$ :)

the light comes on when at least one wheel spins at a rate of "12rpm's slower than the other wheels at 60mph". So this can happen from hitting a pothole on the highway.

I reset it yesterday and it went off. Then I was driving today and i heard a chime, and my traction off light came on, on the dash. Hitting the button did nothing.

that happened to me a few times, and the car feels right sluggish switching gears as well. But if you shut the car off for a bit, it'll fix itself. Just another alero "extra" that comes with the car.

hmmmm could be your hub as mentioned earlier.

[Orion]

Well this has been happening for alittle while. When I hit the breaks sometimes it sounds like a crunch or creaking noise, any thoughts?

[Youngblood77]

hub. That creaking/crunching noise sounds like a bearing going bad imho.

[Orion]

So its a hub bearing or the hub?

[battistoni21]

by reading everything im almost sure it is..... i had to get mine changed and my traction control light was acting up....

That sound imho is the sound of the bearing itself failing, but the entire hub needs to be replaced, as I'm 90% sure the hub bearings aren't sold individually.

[strtrydr]

^ You are correct the hub bearing is actually part of the hub and you cannot get the bearing seperatly...gotta replace the whole hub :(

All my air pressure monitors are fried lol I hooked it up to the GM scantool and it said they all were blowed. The dealership said 300 for each wheel, so forget that poop lol, In just gonna take off the monitors and remove the light in the dash :alcoholic:
