Default Wheel Sensor re-learn process

Guys

I'm having some problems with the front right wheel sensor. I searched the forums and havent found the steps to do the relearn. Can somebody post it for me. I aplogize if I overlooked it in the search, but I never saw the steps involved.

TIA,

Glen, I have never done it but saved this from the book.

Tire Pressure Sensor Calibration Procedure:
1. Mount all four wheels/tires on vehicle and torque to specifications.
Place vehicle on the ground.
2. Turn ignition to ON position.
3. Press the DIC RESET button to clear any warning messages.
4. Press the DIC OPTIONS button until the display goes blank.
5. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
6. Press the DIC OPTIONS button again until the "TIRE TRAINING"
message appears.
7. Press the DIC RESET button until the message,
"LEARN L FRONT TIRE" appears.
8. Hold the magnet over the pressure sensor's location on the LEFT FRONT
wheel (this should be next to the valve stem if installed correctly).
9. When the horn beeps, programming is complete for that wheel.
10. Program the other 3 wheel sensors as directed by the message display.
The sequence is as follows: Left Front, Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear.
11. For more information, refer to the Corvette Service Manual, page 3-114:
Low Tire Pressure Sensing-TPM Sensor Programming.

Not sure, from Mallett "you will need a fairly strong magnet"
http://www.mallettcars.com/v2/instructions/sensor.htm
"Powerful hand-held magnet "
http://www.mallettcars.com/v2/instru...and-sensor.htm

I thought I read somewhere that a Radio Shack "U" shaped magnet, hung
around the valve stem, worked well.

I used my kids little horseshoe magnet and rubbed it around the valve stem until it honked. Big one may have activated it easier, but the little one worked.
