Default Tire Pressure/Sensor Reading???

My Right Front sensor has not been working when I initially drive the Vette. The after maybe 5 minutes of driving and after hitting the DIC reset, it seems to work fine. I am looking at a long term problem here or just a momentary lapse? My Vette is a 2000 with the original runflats.

I've got an extended warranty that runs out in June and new sensor might be covered???

Thanks

Your sensors (batteries) are nearing the end of their life. I doubt they are covered but no harm trying. Read your policy. Either way you'll have to replace them soon. Do all 4 too.

When I purchased a set of Z06 rims I had new tire sensors installed. A year or so ago they cost roughly $250 from Fred Beans, and installation was $100 at a local Goodyear (pretty much their standard mounting and balancing fee for high performance wheels).

A set of 4 2000 sensors will run you about $330 from Fred Beans. About the cheapest you will find unless you can find a used set. Cost to install could vary, but figure about another $50-100 for that.
