Some Chevrolet Tahoe owners report experiencing a persistent "Service Tire Monitor" warning alongside multiple sensor issues. One common problem is a flat battery in the tire sensor, as these sensors rely on lithium-ion batteries to transmit signals to the control module. Additionally, faulty sensors can trigger the warning message, necessitating repairs or replacements. Incorrect tire pressure, whether too high or too low, is another factor that can lead to the warning, especially during extreme temperature fluctuations. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors air pressure in each tire, and underinflated tires can activate the dashboard warning light. Some owners find that resetting the TPMS light involves adjusting tire pressure and restarting the vehicle. Importantly, the "Service Tire Monitor System" warning serves as a reminder to maintain proper tire pressure, as neglecting this can affect vehicle handling and safety. If issues persist despite these measures, it is recommended that owners seek professional diagnostics and repairs from a mechanic or dealership.
