Default Z06 instrument cluster

Will a Z06 instrument cluster that is transplanted into a 99 FRC display the TPMS signals?


Hummm, would a Z06 display TPMS signals if the sensors were added to the wheels?

If your FRC currently doesn't show TPMS, the new IP will not change that. The Z06 did not come with TPMS installed.

In order for me to have TPMS in my 03Z, I had to buy wheel sensors and have someone activate the program in the car's computer to have a functioning system. I don't believe the IP is where the computer for this is housed.

Check around, you may be able to use your current IP and have the program activated after you install TPMS wheel sensors. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

Here is the procedure link

Your 99 has TPMS. Any cluster swapped in will show tire pressure. However the cluster will have to be programmed with the appropriate mileage etc.

The TPMS receiver is part of the keyless entry system and is mounted inside the left rear fender.

Every Z06 is capable of displaying TP, sensors just need to be installed and the TPMS activated in the BCM with a Tech II . It's a really easy thing to do, just need the Tech II.

Thanks for the replies, I figured as much but wanted confirmation. Not planning on a change anytime soon, maybe never, but good info just the same.

I swapped out my cluster ONLY because I like the look of the Z cluster's background better then the plain jane C5 cluster.

Same here, mine showed up on Wednesday and is awaiting install. The Tach on the Z06 is so much easier to read.
