TPMS Issue
I own a 2000 vette and having trouble programming the tire sensors. I'm fairly confident that the right front sensor isn't working. Batteries are fairly new.
How can I by-pass the RF (Right Front) to ensure the rear sensors are working?
I was able to program the LF one this AM (horn beeped) and displayed pressure on the DIC after driving. When I go through the programming process again, I can't get the LF to program (horn to beep). Do I need to 'clear' the settings first and then try to re-program?
Thanks

You probably need a bigger magnet. You need to run through the full sequence to program the TPMs.

I've not found a way to bypass the sequencing for programming the sensors. I'd try a bigger magnet as was earlier suggested, or just try placing the magnet on the barrel of the wheel over where the sensor is mounted - sometimes it will work when trying it on the lip of the wheel won't.

Just bypass the the rf sensor. When it asked you for the rf just put the magnet over the rr or lr. That way you will know if they work.
