Tire Pressure sensor standard?

2010 Isf owner here...
I see the option to toggle to the tire pressure reading on the dash by using the switch to the left of the steering wheel...but nothing shows up for the pressure measurement. Do we have to install our own sensors to utilize this on the car?

I thought a car if this caliber would have something like this standard...

Thoughts/advice?

AFAIK, there is no individual PSI measurements. Just a TPMS light

No you cannot see the psi measurements on the dash. The only way to see the values is with techstream software and the obd2 cable.

And when it does, it's usually as you're leaving for work in the early morning on the first very cold day of fall/winter!!

^^^^When the light pops on, always seems to happen at the most inopportune time, you don't need to panic and rush to fill up with air. It's usually just a lb. or 2 under the sensor's reporting point. Sometimes, just driving on the FW will heat up the tires enough to turn off the light. Anyway, I usually wait until the next day, when the tires are cold from sitting overnight before checking and refilling all of them. Any yes, my Silverado reports the pressure by wheel, but not the ISF.

Park the vehicle in safe place and turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to OFF.
While the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed.
