2019-2021 GMC Sierra TPMS Light Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Reset – If the Chevy Silverado comes with a more masculine design and is far from luxurious, this fifth-generation GMC Sierra comes with a more elegant and luxurious appearance. Chrome accents much dominate the exterior of the Sierra, especially on the front.
Compared to Silverado, this new Sierra has smaller headlights with a design that forms the letter C. LED Daytime Running Lights also come in a form that matches the leading lights. GMC designers use LED fog lamps that are placed vertically. For SLT and Denali variants, the fog lamps come with chrome accents.

If you replaced a wheel, tire, TPMS sensor, etc. and are now getting a warning light on your car, then the sensor needs to be reset. To relearn or reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor on your GMC Sierra you must have a TPMS relearn tool and follow these steps:
- Stop the vehicle in a safe place
Turn the engine switch off and engage the parking brake.
- Turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine.
If your car equipped with ignition button, press and hold the Start/Stop button for 5 seconds without touch the brake pedal

If your vehicle equipped with a base-level display, go to VEHICLE tab menu
- Scroll to the TIRE PRESSURE menu
Use the ▲▼ navigation button to cycle the menu
- Press and hold the thumbwheel button
The horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode
- Starting from the driver’s side front tire, place the relearn tool against the tire sidewall, near the valve stem.
Then press the button to activate the TPMS sensor.
- Repeat the procedure on the right-front tire, the right rear tire, and the last one left rear tire.
A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tire and wheel position.
- Turn off the ignition
Press the Start/Stop button once
- Adjust the tire inflation pressure recommended on the tire placard located on the door panel.
Done!

These instructions are based on the GMC Sierra owner’s manual. This procedure should apply to the fifth generation of the GMC Sierra (2019 2020 2021 model years). Hopefully, the article 2019-2020 GMC Sierra TPMS Light Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Reset can solve your problem. Good Luck!
My 2019 GMC 1500 Denail will not allow to “View the application” unless the vehicle is started. If I follow the procedure described above, I can not call up the Tire Pressure view or enter the TPMS relearn or reset. Once I start the truck, I can scroll from the “Home” screen to the tire pressure view. Then hold the scroll button until the TPMS Learn is active and the horn blows. I Hold the TPMS tool at the sidewall next to the valve stem on each tire, LF, RF, RR, LR, until the horn blows once at each wheel. After the horn blows once at the LR, is blows 2 additional times and the procedure is complete. The owners manual and all videos and writings I have seen say to NOT start the vehicle. This is incorrect!
Gene, I have a 2021 GMC 3500 and had to follow your exact directions. Worked perfectly. Thanks
You have to hold the start button for 5 seconds without touching the brake. This will allow you to activate the Learn function
