Default Tool for programming TPMS sensors

Does anyone have access to the tool for programming the TPMS sensors? I had my wheels and tires replaced and it looks like one of the sensors didn't get properly programmed to the car.

The shop was nice enough to offer to correct the problem but it would be nice if I didn't have to drive all the way back out there to correct this small issue.

Thanks all!

For the C6 it looks like you need a programming tool.

Oh well... It's just another excuse for a drive

I found this one on amazon.ca with free shipping...

https://www.amazon.ca/Tire-Pressure-...ords=tpms+tool

It seems to have good reviews, I'm currently looking at getting one as I need to also reset my TPMS and have found that 05 and older used a magnet to reset the system and 06 and newer use the above tool.

Get the Autel 401 but look around for pricing. A few of us went in last year on one and it was $120 CDN including shipping and exchange. It works great on all cars.
