Good morning, I bought a set of exact size used wheels and tires from a 99 with the sensors to put on my 99, but now I am getting the service message: check tire monitoring system. My old ones worked perfect. Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I program the computer like I did with the key fobs? Should I install the old sensors in the new tires? I would appreciate any help..............thanks............Stev e

 

You have to program the Sensors to your car and position. Do a search on the Forum. You will need a Magnet to do it. Here is the Thread.

Hi Barrier, thanks for the reply. I clicked on the thread, but it didn't come up. I'm no expert, but aren't the sensors on the valve stems in 99 and 00?

 

the tps (tire pressure monitor) are programmed using your dic panel and a magnet. do a search on tps programming on this site and i bet you find several. press options on dic until blank and then press reset. i think fob comes up first and press options to get to train monitors then press reset. start at left front wheel and hold magnet near stem until horn beeps and then go to p side front wheel and the p side back and finally d side back. that should be all that is needed if the batteries in the tps are good. if horn does not beep, move to next wheel. not beeping means probable bad tps.

good luck but search for a thread on this site because i am referring from memory but i just did it last weekend so i should be close!

Hi Jim, Thanks....I'll give it a try................steve

 

I agree with the previous posts. I have a 98 that I put new Vette wheels on and bought new sensors at the same time. The programming procedure is very simple. I bought a strong magnet on a telecoping rod at the local NAPA store for a few bucks and it worked great. I didn't have to bend over and I've used the magnet for a lot of other things around the house.

 

Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Programming

The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system interfaces with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the serial data line. Once the program mode is accessed through the IPC, each sensor's unique identification code can be programmed into the receiver's memory. Each sensor must transmit the unique code in the proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor in order to force the sensor to transmit the identification code. The IPC will display a message as each sensor is programmed, and when to proceed to the next sensor for programming. The receiver also sends a message to the BCM to sound the horn one time, indicating that the sensor properly transmitted an identification code. If the programming sequence is cancelled before any sensor is programmed, or if the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the receiver will remember all current identification codes. As soon as the receiver learns the first sensor identification code, all previously stored codes are erased from the receiver's memory.

Tool required (any medium strength magnet, U or Disk type)J

41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Programming Tool.

1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
3. Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
4. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
Notice: Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Cautions and Notices.
5. Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
6. Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin
the programming sequence.
7. Install the J 41760 Tire Pressure Programming Tool over the left front valve stem.
8. The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
9. When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed
by the IPC messages:
- LEARN R FRONT TIRE
- LEARN R REAR TIRE
- LEARN L REAR TIRE
Programming Cancellation
1. The programming mode will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are met: - The program mode is exited through the DIC.
- The ignition is turned to OFF.
- All four sensors have been programmed.
- The TPM system has been in the program mode for longer than 2 minutes and no sensors
have been learned.
2. If the program mode is cancelled with less than four codes stored, the receiver will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.
