question about button????

2010 double cab--under the steering column by the hood release there is a button---it has an icon that looks like the tire pressure warning light in the instrument cluster.
what exactly is this and whats its purpose,i cant find it in the owners book

 

resets the TPMS sensor for the tires

 

why would that need reset?????i thought when pressure went down,the dash showed a warning icon.when air was put back in it went out,

 

Rtfm!

 

One word, manual

 

i will search harder in the manual

 

wouldnt it have been just as easy to tell him the answer as it was telling him to read the manual?

 

You fill your tires to what pressure you want then hit the reset button and you are good to go
don't forget the spare

If some of you guys do not want to be here and post at least save the bs for another board

 

Probably, but too often on forums people expect to be spoon fed information that may be readily available before looking themselves.

It would likely need to be reset when rotating tires and stuff like that so it doesn't think a tire is in a location that it's not.

 

Yeah so why didn't you ?

 

if in any case you put bigger tires, the tire pressure must me reset depending on the size of the tire. i think, must be on the manual though....

 

Gotcha, thanks for clarification. Wasn't sure how ours worked. The system on the Impala SS I had location based and showed you the PSI of all the tires. Which was nice, but when it came to reset it due to a rotation it was a pain in the ass resetting it you had to go around in a certain order to each tire and let out or put in a bit of air til it registered what tire it was.

 

because i don't know the answer.

 

thanks for the answer,,,i read the manula a few times one the subject and still was not understanding it.call me a dumbass.thanks for the help

 

hahhaha! i can barely keep up with the acronyms as it is!! this is effen funny.
