Default Can someone help me out here?

I've been having trouble my tire sensor or something. I'd been getting a mesage on my DIC that said to service the tire monitor system. The right rear T.P. would come and go on the DIC. It finally quit showing anything at all for the R/R and everytime I would push the reset button the message would come back. I did the relearn as described in the tech hoping it might fix the problem. No dice, I did the the horn to honk on each tire. Now the message doesn't come on now but when I check the tire pressure on the DIC it shoes "XXX" for the R/R. :crazy: Waht would cause this and what do I need to do to fix it?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Seems like I've heard this problem before too. And I believe replacing the sensor was the solution.

Try the relearn again. If that doesn't fix it, then it's time for a new sensor.

Your best bet is to buy one from a Chevy dealer. Try Ken Fitchner, he gives all CF members a discount.
