95 LTPWS Replaced RF Sensor But Still Having A Problem
I posted this about two weeks ago. LPTWS worked fine prior to this.
When putting new front tires on they broke band, welded it, it broke in tire and destroyed the right front LTPWS sensor assembly.
Label was blue on a cream colored plastic sensor box.
I purchased a used replacement from a reputable used parts dealer.
Label was blue, but platic sensor box was black.
I'm wondering if this was the earlier model sensor which is a different frequency, cause I'm still getting a Service LTPWS light :confused:
Possibly the used sensor is flamed, although I took a peek inside the box and it looked perfect :rolleyes:

Re: 95 LTPWS Replaced RF Sensor But Still Having A Problem (95BLKVette)
BTW, I shorted terminals 5&6 3 times within 10 second to clear the sensor history codes yesterday.
Just checked codes by shorting terminals 5&6 on ADL connector.
Service LTPS light Blinks 12 then code 24 whic indicates RR Orange Sensor has crapped-out :mad
These same guys did my rear tires over the winter and I remember having an intermittent problem. I bet they did a band fix on this one too and now it finally flamed :mad :banghead:
Oh well, time to take a ride back to the tire shop :rolleyes: :banghead:

Re: 95 LTPWS Replaced RF Sensor But Still Having A Problem (C4TOMCAT)
absolutely correct...........send it back for a replacement of the right sensor number.........should be gm part number RF -10161855 this comes from the gm action center...........If memory serves the blue is the right front.

Thanks a million guys :cheers:
Nice link Kitt, it's now in my bag of tricks....extremely usefull :D
Now I have to have the tire shop take out the darned sensor again :lol:
Wonder why I'm getting a code 24 though :confused:
I may end up having to order a right rear also :U
We'll see :rolleyes:

Its weird .......I'm getting a code 24 which is a sensor fault.......but I check pressure it was at 26...........filled it up code is gone........wonder why its sending wrong information out. Its a flaky system .......and a bunch of :bs to keep track of but it seems to fire when the tire is low so I guess we are in the same boat........I'm gonna do some testing and see if I can iron it out.

Re: 95 LTPWS Replaced RF Sensor But Still Having A Problem (Ray Vargo)
Why do you say that? Did you have it on your car? Is it disabled?......just curious......If its a waste then why do all the C5's still have it as an option?..... :confused:

Had the sensor finally removed this morning and mailed it back for exchange with the correct component :skep:
We'll see what happens :rolleyes:
