Colour Name:Orange CARBASIS EL-50448 TPMS Relearn Reset Auto Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Activation Tool OEC-T5 for GM Series Vehicle Most of G.M vehicles equipped with a 315 or 433 MHz (TPMS) Tire Pressure Monitoring system,a "Sensor Re-Learn Procedure" must be performed after tire rotations.This re-learn procedure can be performed by using EL-50448 special tire pressure tool.EL-50448works on 2014 G.M models too. The tire pressure sensor on models in and after 2012 can be read, only with some specified diagnostic tools.Before tire pressure monitoring system works normally properly, the body control module will record ID information of each position in the tire pressure sensor;and use the following methods to read the tire pressure sensor.After replacing a tire or wheel speed sensor. Specific Methods To Read The Tire Pressure Sensor Step 1 - Enter leaning mode Set the gearshift lever to "P" Put the ignition switch to "ON" Enter the interface of tire pressure display by DIC DIC shows "Press Set / Ctrl to re-learn" Press "Set / Ctrl" The turn signal is lighted for 3 seconds and the horn beep sound twice to enter the learning mode Step 2 - Read tire pressure sensor information Start from the front-left wheel, Make the J-46079 or Diagnostic Tool EL-50448 antenna up against the valve core position & close to the rim of the tire sidewall El-50448 tire pressure tool starts by the start switch Successful to read the tire pressure sensor information when the horn bleeps once Step 3 - Same method to read other tire pressure information Follow the instuction above to read tire pussure of the front-right, rear-right, rear-left wheels. Turn signals is lighted for 3 seconds and the horn bleeps twice when the learning is complete.

Fantastic!
Does exactly what it's supposed to! I had new wheels fitted to my vauxhall, but the main dealer charges to set the car to recognise them. This sorted it for a bargain price, and didn't affect the warranty. Would definitely recommended.

Amazing product- Works as described. 9 Volt battery required (not included)
Excellent product. Worked EXACTLY as described. I run both winter and summer tires and wheels. Now that I bought a GMC, the TPMS system has to reset every single time I change the tires/wheels. Never had this issue with my Acura. While the dealership would reset the TPMS for free, it was a bit of a hassle to drive there and I thought I'd just do it myself. I did some research and saw that this product was well rated and extremely reasonably priced. I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but decided to give it a shot. I received the product in the mail (2 days...right on time), looked up the instructions in my owners manual and was ready to try it. BUT...the reset requires a 9 volt battery. So, I had to run in the house to grab one. Installed the battery, followed the instructions and voila! I was done in about a minute. I placed the antenna on the sidewall of the tire next to the valve stem. This location works best. Don't place the antenna directly next to the valve stem, it should be placed on the sidewall just like it states in the directions.

Worked for me with cheap tpms sensors
This worked. I bought 4 tpms sensors for $45 on eBay and installed them on my 2008 Impala. I went through the ""tire relearn"" procedure, which should have found and assigned the new tpms sensors. But no go, my car wasn't recognizing the new sensors. Thought maybe I had bought the wrong sensors, or just got ripped off with cheap sub-standard eBay junk. Then I found a blog post where someone stated that the universal sensors sold on eBay typically need to be reset/relearned with a tpms tool. After spending the money and the effort installing these things in my driveway... I was willing to risk the $15.99 hoping to avoid buying new sensors, and having to remove the ""bargain"" ones I just bought, only to have to throw them away and do all the work over again to install amore expensive set. Well... every now and then, life throws you a gift! Put my car in tire learn mode, held this tool up to sidewall near the valve, and got the magic horn beep. Walked around the vehicle, did all 4 wheels, and now my cheap eBay sensors are aftive and working as they should. I am a happy camper!This worked.

Must have for my 2011 Camaro.
Saved me a lot of time and money!! Last year I bought new wheels, tires and TPMS monitors for my 2011 Camaro SS. The TPMS sensors were bought off ebay and I felt like they sent me the wrong ones as I could not get them to program manually nor could the tire installer get them to install with their tire monitor. So I drove around with the TPS light on for the last 8 months. I finally was ready to order new sensors and pay $200 for the new install when someone on another website recommended I try this monitor. It was worth the $18 so I thought why not. After getting it and putting a battery in (Which is not included) I went out to the car, followed the procedure in the instructions and 2 minutes later, all sensors programmed and working!! Couldn't be more happy!!

Works Great on 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ! Just follow the lights.
Got the EL-50448 (Orange protective shroud) and it works perfectly on my 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ. Antennae placement is key. You don't need to remember which tire to start with - just remember to follow the lights because the vehicle tells you what tire to visit! Put the key in the "on" position, set the DIC to show the tire pressures, and hold the reset button (right side of steering wheel with the check-mark on it) until you hear a short beep-beep of the horn. Then look for the light. You'll see that the driver side front turn signal is on, so start with that tire. Put the tip of the antennae on the tire sidewall about an inch away from the rim where the valve stem is. Push the button and wait for the single horn beep. Look for the light. You'll notice that the passenger side front turn signal is on, so repeat the process with the front passenger tire. Then the passenger brake light...repeat. Then the driver brake light...repeat. Once you do the driver rear tire, you'll hear a beep-beep which says "you're done".

Take that Government Motors!
Remember when you could relearn the tire sensors with nothing more that the DIC and a user's manual? Well, apparently GM decided that was too much freedom for the owner of one of their vehicles so what was their solution? Make it so the dealer would have to be consulted- and quite possibly for a fee. Well, my troubles are over! I used this on a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse LTZ and following the user's manual, the horn beeped at the appropriate times and the tires were sensing in the proper position (as tested by releasing air to see a visible change in the DIC). This may seem trivial- until you have a small non visible leak on a tire and right front is actually left rear!
