Default TPM Question 2000

I installed new wheels and tires today. They have the sensors from the wheels that were on the car prior to the current wheels. I tried programming them with a magnet (just like I did when the other wheels were put on) and I cannot get past the LF wheel. These sensors have some age to them but they worked fine a year ago. Since I cannot get the first TPM to program I have none of them done.
  • Is there a way to "skip" a wheel during programming to see if the others at least works?
  • Barring that, can I drive them for a few days (there is a show coming up on Sat.) and just let the DIC message keep appearing?
  • Or, am I stuck until I get new sensors?
Here is a pic of the car with the "new" wheels - Deep Dish 18/19 Z06 Chrome style:
Thanks in advance for any help

You cannot skip to the RF if the LF does not program. But yes, you can drive the car until you can get it fixed - you will just have to hit the reset when the message appears on the DIC.

Default TPM Issue

Thanks. I think I will order new sensors to take the "age" issue of the table .
