Tire Pressure Sensor Phenomena...
A month or two ago, I had my new wheels and tires on my C5 Vert installed.. Since then, one of my tire pressure sensors stopped working... It didn't bother me too much....so I didn't do anything about it...
Before yesterday, I got my new crossed, drilled and slotted rotors and new pads.. I installed them and after I put all the wheels back on, I made a test drive and the bad tire pressure sensor was working again
How is this possible?? I didn't have the tires off the wheels nor did I mess with the valve stems (with the tire pressure sensor on it)...
Any explanation for that phenomena??

....my guess is it relearned after you reinstalled the tires
