That is some real high tech tomfoolery there brother. I love how you did that with the pressure sensors man. You rock!

Yeah I took a chance on this truck and bought it from the seller with the check engine on. He let me hook my scanner up and pull the codes so I had a good idea what was wrong with it when I bought it. Fortunately it turned out to be a very cheap fix considering what I paid for the truck. The tire pressure fooler is another story. That worked just long enough to finish this video and then the tire light came back on. 😭 Apparently the sensors have to see motion in a certain period of time or they go to sleep and stop sending their signals to the truck. I’ll have to break the beads at some point and put them inside the tires. Either way it proved the check engine light stayed out and it’s still out even with the tire light on. 😁👍 Happy New Year 2024 in one hour from now. 🎉🎊🍾

TPMS Sensors are a pain in the Butt. My dash warning light is on more than it's off. Seems like I'm always replacing dead sensors in my tires ! ☹

Love the trick to fool the tpms sensor, glad you were able to fix the louver

do you have a link and/or video on that "tire pressure sensor" fooler and the actual tool to reset them?

Here’s a link to the programming tool. amzn.to/3two5q6 I bought these sensors to put in the tires but haven’t had time to break them down yet. This was a temporary “hack” just to turn the light off for the video. What you’ll need: 2” PVC pipe, two end caps and a drill bit are all you need. Drill one hole to put one sensor through. Put the rest in the pipe. Glue the end caps on and wait for the glue to dry. Once dry add air and program them.

Nice video Steve! I think you covered that very well and did a good job explaining the procedures. When the shutters weren't working, did it make you engine run hotter? Thanks!✌🇺🇸

No, mine were stuck in the open position so it had little effect on engine temps. From what I’ve learned they are more for aerodynamics and only close when the truck is above 30 mph. Other than the check engine light there was no other symptoms.

U should be able to clear that with that snap on scanner

There are no sensors in the tires. I bought these to install but I have to break the bead and put them in. I just haven’t taken the time to do it.

That's what magnetic sockets are for

Did the light come back on? I am having same issue with 2017gmc Sierra. Changed 2 grilles. Alternator, ambient temp sensor. Cannot get the light to stay off lol so aggravating. But ur video was helpful.

So far they’ve been working but this was just a temporary fix to turn the light off for the video. I’ll break the tires down and install them when I get a chance. I have other videos you may find interesting here BALDEAGLE242 - Top 5 Videos kzread.info/head/PL5_ZXmQpcjpac4UV8OW8g-IWVCR8tqy79

Has this active grill shutter given you any issues? I saw the reviews for the one you recommended and some have had issues. I was curious only because I have this same exact problem

Thank you very much! The dealership was trying to charge me $190 just to diagnose the issue and videos like this are very helpful to those who’d rather do the work on their own and learn at the same time. Greatly appreciated, sir!

Had Onstar run a diagnostic check and also went to auto zone for their free check and they confirmed it was the active grill shutter. Once again thank you for these videos 👍🏼

Those grille shutters are a pain in ass. I can't find an electrician who is willing to take over this issue due to lack of experience with gm cars and required software. Obd scanner is not helpful for them.

@@TheNick58636 if the grill shutter is connected but still doesn't function properly I can suggest to replace the shutters or install an emulator. The ECM of the car will think the shutters are installed and the engine check light won't come on.
