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).
- Set the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine off.
- Press and hold the RKE transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together for about five seconds until the horn sounds twice, showing learn mode.
- 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.
- Repeat for the passenger side front, passenger side rear, then driver side rear tire, following each corner's turn signal.
- After two more horn chirps, turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.
- Set all four tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label and replace the valve caps.
- You have two minutes per tire; if time runs out, turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF and start over from Step 2.
- A TPMS diagnostic tool can also match the sensors; see your dealer for that service.
