Program TPMS on 2012 Camaro

I remember reading someplace that there is a tool needed now to program the TPMS on the 2012 Camaros.

Anyone have the write up? I went to the 45th anniversary edition menu and noticed under the tire pressure settings that you can't clear them and relearn them now.

I never had a problem doing that on my 2010 going from Summer to Winter tires.

Thanks

Tim

Whoah...that's odd. I wonder why you cannot relearn any more?

I do remember reading it, but I think I know who originally posted it. I'm going to ask Camaroscotty as I think it was him who posted up about this.

Re: Program TPMS on 2012 Camaro

i have to take mine in to tthe dealership to have my new sesnors relearned. it doesnt take them long. i dont think you can go from 1 programmed sensor to another and have it pick up. i had my 22's programmed to my car and when i would put my 20's on fro track events, the sensors never picked back up on the stock wheels.

Re: Program TPMS on 2012 Camaro

Camaroscotty said he thinks I have to take it to the dealership. I wonder if there is a service charge for that though.

My wife's cousins husband is a GM technician so I sent him a message asking if there was anything (like open and close the door 5 times, press on the gas a couple times) to initiate the old sequence of the car learning the TPMS.

I guess too many people couldn't handle learning their own TPMS GM decided to take it out.

I posted a step-by-step guide on resetting your sensors. I hope it helps!

For LS tires not purchased with the car switched out to winter?
I don't know the dealer might be cool and just do it, as it would take probably like 5 minutes of time.

Do you have a "Set/Relearn" option on your 2012 like the guide shows in the link below:

Just took a ride up in the 45th and got a chance to read the manual. You need a tpms relearn tool to do this on the 2012 models.

So now to find one of these.

I also noticed the stereo shows different pictures for the climate controls. I will try and take a picture.

Re: Program TPMS on 2012 Camaro

Here you go.


No Set/Clear message


What is the bump in the trunk for?


Climate control summary on the stereo, when changed.

Thanks for helping us with this.

A question regarding the radio...if you put in a Metra kit with a double din radio, how would you manage the climate control. Anyone install a Metra kit in a 2012 yet?

Don't you have the Meta kit installed?
