Default Tire sensor

I'm in need of some advice on Tire Sensors. I have a 97 and my right rear sensor is reading Rxxx. I take it that means it's bad. Can I fix this myself or do I need to take it into the dealer?

You can do it yourself, no need to take it to the dealer.
It probably just needs to be reprogrammed.

I've tried this procedure a few times on my 98 for the FL sensor not reading any pressure. I'm guessing the battery in the sensor is probably dead ( although the relearning procedure DOES recognize all 4 of the sensors). I just check the tire weekly with a digital gauge to make sure pressure is ok, and oh yeah, I have to reset the DIC every time I start the car to clear the error message.

Try to do a relearn on the sensors. All four will have to be done, but all you need is a strong magnet. The procedure is accessed through the DIC. Good luck. Hope this is all it is.
