In a 2005 Chevy Tahoe, when the service tire monitor light turns on, it typically indicates an issue with one of the tire pressure monitoring sensors. Over time, these sensors may stop working and might need replacement. These sensors play a crucial role in your vehicle's safety by alerting you when tire pressures are low, which can prevent potential hazards like punctures or blowouts. On average, getting a tire pressure monitoring sensor replaced at a dealership can cost around $75 per wheel.
The "Service Tire Monitor" alert is commonly related to a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system and usually occurs after a tire replacement. Although not mandatory, it is suggested to bring the vehicle in for servicing to address the issue.
