Service tire monitor system won't go away
I have a 14 caprice that I just got and the "service tire monitor system" won't go away! I'm assuming it's the seosors in thebwheels but I can't find anything on which one it is or anything. The only thing the center displa will say is service the system.

Re: Service tire monitor system won't go away
You say you "just got" a 2014 model--from auction, from a dealer, from a private seller, or where? Is there any way to know what maintenance has or has not been done prior to the car getting to you?
I suggest you get a full readout of the sensors by location and do a sensor reset - this is the only way to confirm that what is registered in your TPMS and the sensors, by broadcasting position and serial number, are matched.
This will most likely require a dealer visit, as much as you may want to avoid it.

Re: Service tire monitor system won't go away
They probably changed it for the 14+ caprices, but in my '11 when I had a dead sensor in a wheel I undid the battery for something else and when I plugged it back in, (it always shows km for a minute or so when I plugged it back in) I cycled through the dic and it showed the sensor numbers, with a "--" for the dead right rear.
When it relearned American mode it went back to miles and freaked out and showed service system again

My 2005 Tahoe has a way to relearn the tpms sensors in your own driveway without dealing with the dealer. I have an Mitchell 1 account for my Caprice and there should be a way of getting into the tpms relearn procedure without a tech 2 (GM scan tool). Of course you want to make sure there is a tire pressure sensor and not just a regular valve stem put on the tire. I will check.

Yes it can be done manually through the driver information center. It is in the owner's manual.
