How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light (TPMS) on a Chevrolet Sonic
Steps from the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic owner's manual (Sensor matching with a TPMS relearn tool; base level DIC uses Tire Learn, uplevel DIC uses Tire Pressure).
- Set the parking brake and turn the ignition on without starting the vehicle, or use Service Mode.
- Press MENU and use the thumbwheel to scroll to Tire Learn (base DIC) or Tire Pressure (uplevel DIC).
- Press and hold SET/CLR until the horn sounds twice, showing relearn mode is active.
- Hold the relearn tool against the driver side front tire sidewall near the valve stem and press its button until the horn chirps.
- Repeat at the passenger side front, passenger side rear, then driver side rear tire.
- After two horn sounds, turn the vehicle off and set all four tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label.
- You have two minutes for the first tire and five minutes overall, or the process stops and must be restarted.
- Needed after rotating tires or replacing TPMS sensors or a spare tire with a road tire containing a sensor.
