TPS monitoring system configuration
Hi, I have looked everywhere I could to figure out the TPS monitoring system. There are instructions that tell me how to sync each tire pressure sensor to the corner of the truck. What I can't find is where you can display the pressure of each tire.
Now, the point I am making is since there is no avenue to determine which tire is low when the TPS light comes on why should I bother to sync the TPS sensor to the position on the truck? Seems like a waste of time to me. FWIW, I did run a vehicle health report on the truck to see if the tire pressures would be displayed there but they weren't.
It doesn't seem to matter which tire the pressure switch is on since it won't identify the individual tire.
I recently bought this truck and traded in a GMC Envoy for it. The Onstar report would show the tire pressure for each corner of the vehicle so it made sense to sync the monitor with the right tire. Here it doesn't makes sense.
