Confused about Tire Pressure Sensors
I had a set of C6 Zo6 wheels on my C5 with C5 pressure sensors, just moved them to my C6, went for a drive and the C6 is reading the C5 sensors????

dont believe it can, as I am having problems with two blown sensors on C6. The C5 were magnetic based and the C6 are frequency based. At least thats what the dealer proclaims, and a magnet does nothing on the C6.

you need to get the Tire Pressure Tool (around 350.00) to reset them, or see the dealer. Unfortunately the magnet trick no longer works. Trust me, I have two blown front sensors and visited the dealer more than 3 times to TRY and reset. The wont replace them as on aftermarket rims, unless rim shop pulls repairs/replaces and then exchange. A nightmare !!
