Tire Pressure Sensor Issue

[dman]

Two of the sensors show no pressure - blank on the screen. I saw a video that said you can fix by inflating tires pressure to 35 or 40 and then tell system to relearn / reset.
I did that and the horn beeped twice. Then the instructions were to start letting out air from each tire until you hear a beep and move to the next. I was not able to get the beep and thus the reset was unsuccessful. The handheld device to relearn the sensors cost over $500. Does anyone have a strategy to get the blank tire pressure reading back on screen as the message is quite annoying and certainly not worth buying the reset handheld. 2017 Equinox Vehicle

If they are original sensors, the internsl batterys are probably close to dead. I think replacements are only warrantied for 5 or 6 years. You can get the handheld relearn device on Amazon for like $10. As long as you know how to get your vehicle into programming mode, This Style works

Thank you for this timely posting.
Three of the four sensors on our 2019 Premier 2.0T are dead, and state inspection is approaching.
I'd just have left it, as I checked tire pressures with a gauge for over fifty years, except in Virginia, all installed systems must be functional.

Sensor DEAD needs replaced only good for approximately 6 to 7 years.

Looks like I'm there too.

Looks like it's two years.

I recently replaced sensors on a 2020 GM. I purchased preprogrammed versions that only needed to be relearned on the vehicle. Used the $10 tool do that using relearn mode ( two beeps and proceed around vehicle in clockwise fashion starting with drivers front.).

Cost me roughly $100 for sensors and to have them installed. Should have done it when changing tires but was unprepared at the time.

My 2015 Equinox tire air sensors seem to be OK. The sensors in my 2014 Cruze Left Rear and Right Rear indicators are somehow reversed with each other, maybe since after last oil/rotation service combo?

Order those and find a shop that will break down the tires and replace the sensors for a reasonable price.

Took our 2018 Nox to a local Walmart Auto Center. Replaced all 4 sensors about a year ago. Parts, labor total about $130. No issues at all. Dealership was asking $400+!!! If your sensors are 4+ years old, save some trouble and go ahead and replace all 4. And yes, as stated here you can buy a programmer on Amazon for About $10. Good luck!
