C5 Pressure Sensor Issue "xxx" reading
I just had new tires put on my '99 C5
I was told that the right front pressure sensor was dead--it wouldn't accept programming (which explained the error messages on the DIC that I'd been receiving.)
So, cool, I had it replaced.
I got a couple of miles from the dealership and decided to check the gauges now that I had them all working.....
Left rear would not read. Though all the others were fine.
After a while, it eventually comes up Lxxx.
Is this a sign of a dead sensor (prior one just capped all 4 readings)
Or, hopefully it just needs to be re-syncrhonized or something of that order?

All you have to do is reset the sensor so the computer can pick it up. I just had to do this for my car due to one bad sensor. Look up the routine, it is all over the place on this board. I used a strong magnet instead of the GM part that is mentioned. Works like a charm once I got all the tires reset.

Save you the looking....
Resetting Tire Pressure Monitors ( TPM's )
1) Turn ignition on
2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages
3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank
4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds
5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears
6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in order to begin the programming
7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool (large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem
8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed (if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will give you three tries. Then you must start over)
9) 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 can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC. If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.

If you did not retrain all the sensors when you put in the new one, try doing that first. If they are the original sensors and the retraining doesn't work, chances are they are at the end of their life cycle anyway and may be a good idea to replace them all.
