Tc abs ecm tire pressure lights all one. Help me fix it

Ok I'm new here and haven't done much looking around and I'm sure there's a thread on this already. But my dash is lit up like a Xmas tree. My traction abs and tire pressure lights are all one and have been since I got the car about 2-3 months ago from a used car lot. Idk what to do to fix them. I took it to a shop and the guys there said they want nothing to do with it cause it's to difficult. I took it to a Chevy dealer they said they're going to charge me $300 each wheel hub and $100 an hour for repairs and said screw that. So what do I do to fix my problem.

add pic.

tire pressure light is easy, check click info button till it comes to ur tire pressure and see what it says, if it says a pressure, then just add air to ur tires till u have 32psi. if it says nothing then try to relearn them. put key to acc, then press both lock and unlock on the fob at the same time and hold till u hear 2 honks. then starting with front drivers side fill or deflate tire till car honks. then move clockwise (next one is front passenger side) and do same thing, till all four are done then it will honk 2 times again and ull be done. then u just put them all to 32 psi and light will stay off. if it doesn't honk after 8 seconds of filling or deflating then just stop and wait for it to honk, then move on. if it never honks at all then ur sensors are dead and ud need to buy new ones and get them installed. the traction control light could be bad sensors on the hubs, or ripped wire. check them out. did they get wet recently or was light on the entire time?

Find a shop with a Tech and have them scan. They can tell you what hub and sensor is bad...

those wheel sensor plugs are not sealed from moister properly. I advise everyone to silicone the back of the plugs where wires go in, I had issues with mine all the time to till I did that, even had 2 blow on me. ever since I siliconed the back of the plugs I have never had an issue for like 4 years now. trust me im betting 95% of the issues people are having with them is because water gets into the plug and blows the sensors

Yea can I have a pic of what I need to do. Cause I can't relearn my sensors cause they're broke or something. The Chevy dealer said it'll be like $400 a wheel hub cause the sensors are built in and you can't buy just the sensors alone. Is that true?

Then read your responses....


Yea. TPMS are expensive and you have to have a shop put them in.
Yes. Wheel speed sensors are built into the bearing.

What else do you want to know?

That's bs, when my sensors went bad the dealer just replaced the sensor. Unless they did replace the hub, it was under warranty, but they said they replaced the sensors. I don't got a pic but it's the only electrical connection on the wheel hub, pretty easy to find

Apparently they are . 160 bucks on rock auto. That expensive to replace the sensor. People silicone then, it's a little time that will save u a lot of money. Right in the back of the plug that plugs into the hub sensor. I know there is rubber supposed waterproof protection, but it still lets water in. Silicone and make sure u push it into the holes with ur finger as much as possible
