Pontiac G6 TPMS Light Tire Pressure Sensor System Reset (2008-2010)

Last Updated on February 14, 2020 by Christ

Pontiac G6 TPMS Light Tire Pressure Sensor System Reset (2008-2010) – The G6 is a mid-size car produced by Pontiac from 2004 to 2009. It was introduced in late 2004 as a replacement for the Grand Am. The model was assembled at Lake Orion, Michigan on General Motors’ Epsilon floor, and had the front-mounted engine. The traction was also the front. The G6 shared the Epsilon platform, among other things, with the Chevrolet Malibu and the Saab 9-3. The style of the model was conventional, and the grooved inserts and rear flaps that were characteristic of the Grand-Am were replaced by the most common type of sheet metal. Optional equipment included a remote ignition system (standard on the GT and optional on the base version), traction control, ABS, electronic stability control, automatic front lights and panorama roof.

In essence, the G6 was the sixth Grand-Am series. The name was changed to favor the repositioning of Pontiac as a BMW rival. This new type of nomenclature was also the basis for the models that were launched later on. For example, the Pontiac G8 would belong to a higher class, while the Pontiac G5 would be part of a lower class. The Pontiac G6 was introduced for the first time in 2003 as a concept car at the Detroit Car Show. This concept car had installed a V6 engine powered by 3.5 l displacement and 285 hp of power. It was coupled to an electronically controlled 4T65-E automatic transmission.
