1996 sensor panel issues
This forum has been very helpful over the 5 years I have owned this 1996 C4! The sensors have started to fail which lite up on the panel which include the tire pressure alerts. The car continues to function very well. Should I be concerned about these sensors as I maintain the maintenance very well and probably do not need alerts. Any responses appreciated! Thanks R Woolley

The panel with lights just above the radio. This includes lights for tire pressure, traction control, low oil and others. The censors have failed and I am unsure if I need to replace the sensors. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks R Woolley!

There's a specific light sequence that you should have with initial "key-on" before turning to crank. I doubt that all have failed so you need to get specific.

The owner's manual will explain the DIC light functions and it will vary with option content of the car. You might explain the "light" that interests you specifically and when it lights.

It's not common for sensors in a 96 vette to just start failing. Consider an OBD II reader or pull codes to see what failures the ECM and CCM are seeing.

Sounds like you've already discovered what the problem is, improper installs will cause fits with the CCM and other control modules.

The issue began when I had a new radio installed.
