2012 Equinox LS TPMS reset

cmhj2000

Wife had the tires rotated a couple times and of course the TPMS is not right. According to my manual, you need a reset tool. OK if true then so be it.

Does anyone know if the procedure of letting out air one tire at a time starting with the LF and with the tire monitoring system on would work on this vehicle?

TIA

Had used the method I suggested on several GM models but it didnt work on my 2012 nox, thus I was specific with my question. Talked to my dealer today and he said the tool is needed for several GMs starting in 2011 or 2012.


This has a bit more detail for anyone wondering.
