How old is your car? How old are the sensors? Were they ever replaced, like when and if you've ever gotten new tires? You might just have a dead battery in that one - they may last 10-12 years or so then they poop out. If that's the case, all four will have to replaced soon. You can try and reprogram it (you'll actually have to do all 4) or if you can live with it, wait 'till you need tires and address it then.
If you get new sensors, you must get ones compatible with your specific year C5, the later ones won't work in the earlier cars.

I agree it could be that sensor is about to go out. Good questions asked by mrlmd. Your answers could give you a good start on figuring out how to proceed.

I'm the second owner of a 2002 coupe and have no record of that type of maintenance. I am not replacing tires any time soon but I dont have a "service tire pressure monitoring system" message on the dash. I check my tire pressure every time I drive it and it's perfect every time. Do I need to replace the TPMS units or just bring it in to a shop for some kind of service?
