You can troubleshoot the system by following the procedures in the shop manual - or pull the bulb. :chevy

Pull the codes and see which tire sensor is dead or maybe it's the pickup. Generally it's one of the wheel senders is shot.

Has anyone found a good source for these wheel sensors (besides ebay)?

I got 4 new ones in april from Elco Chevy in St. Louis. When I bought my car, I made the seller put it in writing that he would fix the system correctly. I think that he ended up paying about $250.00 a sensor. They were different than the stock ones though. They were bigger metal boxes, as opposed to the smaller "wedge" shaped plastic stock ones. I really didn't care since they are on the inside of the tire. I haven't had any problems since then. If you have your Vette checked at a dealership, they can tell you which one(s) is bad. Remember that all four are different. I can't remember the colors that they use, but it seems like there is a blue one, a orange one, and two other colors that I can't remember. Good luck getting them, It took them 5 months the get them in...
