How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light (TPMS) on a Chevrolet HHR

Steps from the 2011 Chevrolet HHR owner's manual (Vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS); sensor matching after tire rotation or sensor replacement).

  1. Set the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine off.
  2. Press and hold the RKE transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together for about five seconds until the horn sounds twice, showing learn mode.
  3. Starting at the driver side front tire, remove the valve cap and raise or lower the tire pressure for about eight seconds until the horn chirps.
  4. Repeat for the passenger side front, passenger side rear, then driver side rear tire, following each corner's turn signal.
  5. After two more horn chirps, turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.
  6. Set all four tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label and replace the valve caps.
