Default Tire Pressure Sensor Programming ?

I know I have seen posts on this in the past, but I can't seem to get the search to work. Can anyone provide me with the procedure for programming the tire pressure sensors? Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's one I copied awhile back:

1) Turn ignition on
2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages
3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank
4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds
5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears
6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in order to begin the programming
7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool (large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem
8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed (if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will give you three tries. Then you must start over)
9) When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages: -Learn R Front Tire -Learn R Rear Tire -Learn L Rear Tire Programming can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC. If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.

You just follow instructions above...big magnet....well some folks use speaker magnets..I use a construction site cleanup tool (magnet on a stick) from Home Depot $10.....or get rid of the damn sensors like me and only use the magnet for friends with the sensors

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I just received my new Chrome C6 wheels today and plan to get tires mounted this weekend. I bought new sensors while I was at it (hence my need to program).

I'll post pics when completed.
