May need to relearn if driving a short distance doesn't revive them.

Try checking them the old fashion way, then put more air if needed. Then see if they work. If there was a problem, I would think that the DIC would tell you. Also, what would be the chances of all four batteries going dead at the same time.

If you need to replace them they're about $73.00 each at www.gmpartshouse.comor less if your car is an 03.

relearning is not hard to do, but you do need a magnet (like from an old speaker, or one of those nail pick up ones from a home center) to do it. If your battery went dead over the winter, this may fix it.

Also, if the battery was dead. Invest about 40 bucks for a battery tender.
