Just installed wheels, 3 of my sensors dont work..... do i have to do something to make them re-learn where they are or something>>>??any ideas

 

What year is your car??? I will try to post the procedure for it if you post the year.

 

Yes you do, read this ===> TPS Relearn

 

Try the relearn process - as long as they are the right year sensors, they should work unless the batteries have gone dead.

 

1999

 

If they are the original sensors they are probably dead...That is if you put them back in the same place or did the relearn. they are 8 years old which is pushing 1st gen sensors... many people with 2000 vintage C5's are seeing sensors death.

 

I hate to jack your thread but can you changr the batteries?

 

Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Programming
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system interfaces with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the serial data line. Once the program mode is accessed through the IPC, each sensor's unique identification code can be programmed into the receiver's memory. Each sensor must transmit the unique code in the proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor in order to force the sensor to transmit the identification code. The IPC will display a message as each sensor is programmed, and when to proceed to the next sensor for programming. The receiver also sends a message to the BCM to sound the horn one time, indicating that the sensor properly transmitted an identification code. If the programming sequence is cancelled before any sensor is programmed, or if the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the receiver will remember all current identification codes. As soon as the receiver learns the first sensor identification code, all previously stored codes are erased from the receiver's memory.

Programming TPM Sensors

Tool Required
J 41760 J 41760 .





Important: Make sure the vehicle has been stationary for at least 2 minutes before attempting to program the TPM sensors.


Turn the ignition to ON.
Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
Notice: Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Cautions and Notices.

Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin the programming sequence.
Install the J 41760 J 41760 over the left front valve stem.
The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
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 Cancellation
The programming mode will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are met:
- The program mode is exited through the DIC.

- The ignition is turned to OFF.

- All four sensors have been programmed.

- The TPM system has been in the program mode for longer than 2 minutes and no sensors have been learned.

If the program mode is cancelled with less than four codes stored, the receiver will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.

**** A strong magnet will work in place of the tool*******

 

I'm trying to do this as well. I know the procedure and I have tried to use a very strong rear earth magnet placed over the valve stem, and it is not teaching the sensor ? what am I doing wrong

 

RichieRichZ06 ! Some one said on this forum that you offer 1st generation sensors with nuts and washers delivered for 309 dollars...
thats four sensors for 97 to 00... nuts and washers, delivered..?????
is that true?

 

It was never including nuts, but did include the seals (washers)...........
It was supposed to be $323.00 including ALL tax and Shipping, but the guy misunderstood. I can get them to you all day long for that price.
