Description
Vehicle: 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 HD SLE 6.0 V8 GAS

The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) notifies the driver when a significant loss of tire pressure occurs in any of the 4 tires.

When the vehicle is stationary, the sensor is inactive. When the vehicle is operated and as the vehicle speed increases, centrifugal force activates the sensors internal accelerometer causing the sensors to go into rolling mode. In the rolling mode, the sensors read tire pressure once every 30 second and transmit the reading once every 60 seconds. On models with convince package, the PDM (Passenger Door Module), receives and translates the data transmit...
