Follow these steps carefully
Check cold on level ground — parked 3+ hours or driven under a mile. The door-jamb placard is the only valid reference, never the sidewall max. Gauge square on the stem, caps off; compare each tire to the placard. Front and rear specs may differ.
Inflate to each axle's spec, rechecking to avoid overshoot; bleed overages with a quick valve-core press. Caps on snug — they keep grit out of the core. A chronic loser gets soapy water on tread and stem: bubbles mark the leak. Repair it before driving.
Front-wheel drive: rearward cross — fronts straight back same-side, rears crossed to opposite fronts. Break lugs on the ground; lift one corner at a time onto a rated stand, chocking the rest. Cross-pattern for non-directionals only; directional tires stay same-side front-to-back.
Hand-start all nuts to prevent cross-threading, snug star-pattern on the stands. Lower until tires touch, then torque to the owner's-manual spec with a calibrated wrench — never guess, never the sidewall number. Recheck after 50–100 miles.
After rotation, relearn manually so the dash shows the right corners: hold start/stop 5 sec (no brake) for diagnostics mode, open the tire-pressure screen, hold the checkmark until two horn blasts. Two more blasts = all learned. Shops often do it free with a rotation.
My rule: Do the relearn in the parking lot before you leave the shop. Skip it and the dash will confidently show you the wrong corner's pressure for the next 7,500 miles.
If your car carries a full-size matching spare, check its pressure against the door-jamb sticker as well. Many full-size spares carry no TPMS sensor, so a low spare will not trigger the warning light — check it manually at least twice a year.
Take the 2014-2020 Chevrolet Impala for a test drive over a mix of city streets and highway. The steering should feel straight with no new vibration or pulling. The next morning, recheck all four pressures cold to confirm nothing is leaking down overnight. If the warning light stays on, recheck every pressure against the door-jamb sticker — a slow leak or a damaged sensor is the usual cause. If any wheel feels loose or the car pulls to one side, stop and recheck the lug nuts before driving further.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
