Default 2 things!

I have non runflat tires on my C5 and one of the tire system monitors is sending a low air presure warning, but everytime I check tire presure is just fine. Any ideas!

The other thing... I installed a MOMO shift **** which I love and want to install the emergency brake handle. Does anyone have a picture for the brake?

Thanks

Franky

Are you sure the tires were put back on the correct wheel for the right and left side? When I had my front tires replaced, the tire shop messed up and put them on the wrong wheel so they went on the wrong side. The tires face the correct direction but the computer reads the left side as the right and vice versa. If thats not it then you might need to replace your tire sensor.

If the sensor is back in the same location as it was originally, try reprogramming the sensors. If that doesn't work, you may have a sensor going bad.

Are you wanting a picture of how to do the install on the E-brake handle? If so, check the Vette Essentials web site - they have excellent instructions posted there.

If the sensors are put back in the wrong location, they would still report the tire pressure, just not for the right wheel. IE, it would say LF, when it would really be the RF. Sounds like you have a sensor battery going bad. Just had to replace mine. Had one that went bad. Did all 4. Once one battery starts going, then Murphy's law.........
