Car Fix DIY Videos

Last year I posted a video explaining how to replace and program TPMS sensors to a 9th Gen Impala. In that video, I didn’t get into enough detail regarding the actual replacement of the sensor. This video serves as an update, with present-day footage spliced in.

The instructions in this video should pertain to GM LAN11/LAN29 vehicles from 06-ish to 13-ish (including 14-16 Impala Limiteds, and possibly the GMT900’s and 1st Gen Traverses, Acadias, and Enclaves that went until 16 or 17.) I say as a guideline, if the vehicle had the “Black Tie” radio seen in the video, the items and procedures I used will work.

Now this content will be helpful whether or not you have 2 sets of wheels & tires. Generally speaking, whether you need to install TPMS sensors on a set of new wheels, or if you have malfunctioning sensors, the procedure is the same.

I highly recommend purchasing the programming tool, especially if you have 2 sets of wheels. The tool wakes up the sensor and properly programs it to your vehicle and in what position it is in. Also, having a valvestem puller makes changing out the valvestems a piece of cake.
