I put the vette in ACC mode, then I turned on this TPMS tool, and set it for the HHR sensors
I then held the lock and unlock on my FOB until the horn beeped.
I then went to the driver front tire, "scan" on the TPMS tool, and viola, the horn beeped!
So, then over to the passenger front tire (horn beep), then to the rear passenger tire (horn beep), then to the driver rear tire (3 horn beeps).
Finally, started the vette, and let air out of opposing tires, just to be sure the correct tire was showing on the DIC, and everything is good.
A very inexpensive tool that will help me on track days for sure.
It also displays the internal tire temp that the sensor reads for my model vette too. All from the HHR vehicle setting.

I've ordered the tool for my 2008 C6. I have the factory sensors on three wheels but a new OE sensor on left rear. Once in relearn, I have not been able to get the car to acknowledge the left front even with pressure changes (letting air out); so I have gone for the tool. Fingers will be crossed!

This is one heck of a nice little unit. I just received mine and since I already have a TIPS tool, I just got this one to be more like the King of TPMS, BEZ06....LOL

Thanks guys this was very helpful I purchased the scanner for twenty bucks because my TPMS was not reading correctly on my 2010 ZO6. Everything is fine now due to the tips on this thread. Thanks again

I got one from Tire Rack... On close out...
I put the car in learn mode.
It can scan the front left, but the horn never beeps.
It never scans the front right and if I can't get past the front right, I can't scan the rears...
It can't even scan a brand new sensor. I even tried putting the sensor on top of the FR tire when I activated learn mode to no avail.
I think I got a bad unit and I'm very frustrated by it.
