TPMS: 2008 Aveo5 with No Remote Keyless Entry or Stock Radio

[drock]

Hi,

First - thanks in advance for any guidance that someone can provide...

I need my 2008 Chevy Aveo5 to relearn the TPMS sensor locations and wonder if there is any way to do it without going into a dealer. The issue is - all the research I've done online shows that there are two methods:

One requires remote keyless entry (which I do not have)
The other requires using the DIC in the stock head unit (which I do not have, as I bought the car used and the person had swapped out the stock radio)

Are there any other ways to force the relearn? I read on some other Chevy models you can turn the car to "ON" and pump the gas pedal a few times (but that didn't work...).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-Dave

Expand a lil, TPMS?

Sorry - Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Basically - I need the system to be put into "LEARN" mode, but the only way seems to be what I listed in the original post.

You don't have to go to a DEALER, but it looks like you'll need to hit up a shop. I know my personal small shop has the scan tool necessary.

Drock..... Did you ever get your TPMS system to work. My dealer wanted $270 per tire. I got the sensors at Amazon for $30 each took it to Sears but they could get them to work. I know the sensors are now in working order as they don't flicker anymore. There's got to be a way to relearn these babies without a $2000 tool.

Let me know how you got them to work.

Has anybody gone anywhere with this post? I can find a solution but before I spend the time to do so I would like to know that I am not working on a already solved problem. If in fact the can bus needs to have a signal from the radio module to preform this procedure it can be emulated. The equation is solvable. Let me know if there has been any progress. If not I will pick it up and make it happen. Thanks.

It would be helpful to all to find out brand name, tool model number, approximate cost, which sensor brand names are compatible with said tool. eg. Schrader the leader in tpms modules, but TR-3 is an affordable sensor very few tools will set into RE-LEARN mode
