Check Tire pressure system
This message are deploying, I tried to resync but I couldnt, I use a magnet en the valve but, never change in the dash to the next tire.
If I check gauges, the front are good, the rear, dont show rear left but he show rear right.
Is there a posibility that all the problem is that?

If the TPS is not showing the rear left tire, it sounds like the battery on that sensor has died.
You'll need a new one if so. They're quite pricey and you need to take the tire off to fit it. I'd check the Forum vendors for the best deal.

Check with GMPartsHouse for a new sensor.

with the above comments.
Your profile doesn't indicate the year of your Vette, so it is difficult to know if this is an isolated instance.
I.e., if your Vette is over 5 years old consideration to changing ALL TPS is a good idea

You don't say what year your C5 is in your profile or post ? But, since it has wagon wheels, it is a 1999 or earlier. Most likely your TPSs are going bad, it is about time.
Be sure to get Generation I ones, they are more expensive. I got mine at Fictner's for about $80 apiece.
Good luck.

If they are the original sensors you did quite well. The average life is supposed to be 5-7 years.
